Some news items I thought worth your time: • The Advocate: Luke Evans (above) is ‘shocked’ that he’s ‘still working’ after coming out. • NBC News: Gov. Tim Walz’s Gay-Straight Alliance students remember him as accepting and goofy. While working as a teacher in rural Minnesota in the late ‘90s, Walz helped launch the high school’s first club for LGBTQ students.
Tim Walz has a strong history of backing LGBTQ rights, dating back decades to his time as a high school social studies teacher and football coach at Mankato West High School in Mankato, Minnesota. https://t.co/xrK35TexRQ

• ESPN: The Boston Red Sox and Major League Baseball have suspended outfielder Jarren Duran for two games after he reportedly called a fan heckling him during the team’s loss Sunday to the Houston Astros a “f*cking fa**ot.” • Instinct Magazine: The upcoming film adaptation of WICKED teases Jonathan Bailey as the oh-so-charming “Fiyero” in this newly-released clip. • Axios: New data from major U.S. cities shows a sharp drop in violent crime in the first half of the year — more than 25% in some communities — as the COVID-era crime wave recedes. The drop in violent crime puts a serious dent in one of the most frequently used lines of attack by Donald Trump. • X: How ironic that photos of GOP veep candidate Sen. JD Vance have surfaced with the uber-conservative in drag back in his days at Yale. Vance has not denied the authenticity of the pics.
