    Our beloved #TinaTurner has died. From #Nutbush to the top, she was an absolutely brilliant performer and inspiration to us all. May flights of angels sing her to her rest, but if I know Tina, she is singing lead.

    Light in the Gloom

    I figure we could all use some good news:  Last night, transgender woman Amy Schneider won the "Jeopardy!" Tournament of Champions.

    Schneider said in a statement she plans to continue representing the trans community. "Being in places where people like me haven’t been before, it’s a very powerful thing to do."

    Especially right now.

    She [Angela Lansbury] made you love her whether she was a controlling stage mother, a murder obsessed writer, a human-meat baking cannibal or a soothing teapot.

    Dame Olivia

    Olivia Newton-John died today. The singer and actress was 73.

    She was also an LGBTQ icon, and it's a given that gay men are now crying and hiccuping "Hopelessly Devoted To You" from Ogunquit to West Hollywood.

    "Ellen" Ends

    After 19 seasons, the final episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" aired today. DeGeneres spoke of how attitudes toward LGBTQ people have changed in that period.

    "Twenty years ago when we were trying to sell the show, no one thought that this would work," said the out lesbian. "Not because it was a different kind of show, but because I was different."

    She recalled, "When we started the show, I couldn't say 'gay' on the show."

    Over in Tallahassee, Gov. Ron DeSantis observed, "That was such a fine tradition we nostalgia-loving Floridians decided to resurrect it."
