Adult performer Matthew Camp spoke out about the arson fire that nearly killed him, the NSFW The Sword reports. "In the early morning of January 14, 2021, Matthew Camp's home shared with his friend Six Carter was targeted in an apparent hate crime where an unknown person poured gasoline on the front porch creating an explosion that woke Matthew up giving him moments to get himself and roommate out in safety," reads a GoFundMe page set up for Camp. Camp's GoFundMe page was launched by his friend Six Carter and "Slag Wars," a Men.com reality show hosted by Camp, producer Topher Cusumano, adds The Sword. "The page states that its mission is to 'give Matt the chance to rebuild his life and replace some of his belongings as he attempts to recover from this horrendous event.' The page's goal is currently set at $60,000." "The entire home eventually burned for 3+ hours leaving no personal possessions salvageable inside," reads the GoFundMe Page. "Camera footage caught the attack and the perpetrator is being sought for attempted murder by the authorities."

In the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election, Biden team LGBTQ+ Engagement Director Reggie Greer often said that, if victorious, the new administration would need to "walk and chew gum" at the same time if they truly expected to advance queer rights. "We can't set aside any issue," he said in an October interview with the LGBTQ website them. "We are fighting to not only restore the soul of the nation but to get the country back on track on several priorities." Those priorities, laid out in sweeping fashion with The Biden Plan to Advance LBGTQ+ Equality in America and Around the World, provide a series of platform stances and action plans covering key issues like military service, health care, youth issues, discrimination, violence, and global rights — all told, the most comprehensive LGBTQ platform of any incoming president. Headlining the platform is the Equality Act, which Biden had promised to pass in his first 100 days in office — though he's already had to lower expectations, given the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and the fallout from the Capitol coup attempt. First introduced in 2015, the Equality Act would effectively expand the Civil Rights Act to provide explicit anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people in virtually all areas of life, including employment, housing, credit, education, and public services.

Borders closed. Lockdowns. Riots. This year is shaping up to look a lot like 2020. But if ever we needed a rainbow at the end of the tunnel, look no further than our favorite queer travel influencers.

It was quite a year for Megan Rapinoe. Her book came out, she hosted an HBO special and she got engaged to girlfriend Sue Bird. One thing was largely missing, however: soccer. That's changing now that Rapinoe has returned to the U.S. national team for its January training camp in Florida after sitting out most of last year. "I actually feel really good physically and just refreshed in a lot of ways, mentally and emotionally. I've spent obviously a lot of time quarantining at home with Sue and just being able to relax," Rapinoe said Tuesday on a conference call with reporters. "But I'm obviously so excited to start playing again. It was really difficult to not be out on the field with my teammates and to not have a consistent training environment. Anyone who really knows me knows I hate to work out on my own as it is." When the coronavirus began to take hold in the United States last March and the National Women's Soccer League called off its season, Rapinoe — who plays for OL Reign — hunkered down at home. She opted out of the NWSL's Challenge Cup tournament in a bubble in Utah last summer and the league's fall series. She also opted out of the national team's October camp. She said part of her reasoning for the break was fear of COVID-19, but she was also exhausted from the whirlwind that came after the U.S. victory in the World Cup in France.

You may only be pulling yourself together to migrate from the bedroom to the living room for the next few months, but breakout British-American designer Harris Reed wants you to do it in style. Reed, known for dressing Harry Styles back in 2019, recently chatted with Fashion Magazine about their limited-edition makeup collection with MAC Cosmetics, launching globally on February 18. "For me, this collection is really about fluid opulence and being for everyone," Reed said. "My relationship with makeup is really about exploring your duality and exploring different sides of yourself: Encapsulating different personalities that you want to highlight." Reed notes the lipstick palette as their favorite part of the collection, saying that as a child, they'd use it to enhance eyes, cheekbones and collarbones, too. Reed, who has also styled Miley Cyrus and Solange, has quickly gained momentum in the fashion world for a signature approach that amplifies their clients' natural aesthetic. MAC hopes to tap into this trend with the affordable line, which ranges from $20-$35, while also giving consumers the chance to express their best glam selves.

Out Division One basketball coach Matt Lynch gave an update about his life post-coming out after he embraced authenticity last April, telling sports podcast The Sports Kiki that he's got a "newfound confidence" and, if anything, he wishes he'd come out sooner than he did. Lynch was an assistant coach for the men's basketball team at UNC Wilmington. He had just come out to the team when he and all the rest of the coaching staff were laid off thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. But that, Lynch told The Sports Kiki's host, Alex Reimer, was just the start of a new and more fulfilling life. His sudden joblessness gave Lynch several months to take stock and grow into himself. Saying that he now possesses "a newfound confidence," Lynch explained, "I have just this light about me when I walk into a room. I lift the mood of the entire room.... From a personal standpoint, I just feel happy." Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetwork ?️‍??⁠ ⁠ ?: Matt Lynch / Instagram / @lynch5_⁠ ?️: Kevin Schattenkirk @kschatt13

"Too soon?" That was the Jan. 2 Facebook post from Swish Embassy that accompanied a photo of the LGBTQ clothing company's brand-new T-shirt design, "Abandon Ship PVR." The illustration commemorates - or mocks - the gay party boat that went down in the waters off Puerto Vallarta on New Year's Eve. The T is available in a variety of colors and features a cartoon boat sliding into blue waves at a steep angle while several scarcely-clad male figures cavort on deck. The head of Swish Embassy, Dean Malka, told GayCities that the T-shirt is of a piece with the company motto ("Wear a conversation piece"), and copped to "having a bit of fun calling out people behaving badly during a pandemic. Ultimately we all have a responsibility to be good global citizens and do our best not to worsen the current situation," Malka added.

A transgender athlete who says that she was denied the chance to pursue her Olympic ambitions is now suing USA Powerlifting because the organization refused to allow her to compete, NBC News reports. "Powerlifting is a sport of empowerment pushing through adversity and seeing what our bodies can do," declared power lifted JayCee Cooper, who was denied the chance to compete in 2019. "As a trans person this took on additional meaning because our bodies are so politicized and demonized regularly." The suit, filed Jan. 12 on Cooper's behalf by the advocacy group Gender Justice, contends, "in banning Cooper and other trans athletes, USA Powerlifting, or USAPL, is in violation of the Minnesota Human Rights Act," NBC News said. Gender Justice legal director, Jess Braverman said in a statement that "Trans women belong in women's sports," before asserting that "USA Powerlifting's ban on transgender athletes is not only illegal, it's also rooted in outdated gender stereotypes that harm all women athletes."

Gender Justice legal director, Jess Braverman said in a statement that "Trans women belong in women's sports," before asserting that "USA Powerlifting's ban on transgender athletes is not only illegal, it's also rooted in outdated gender stereotypes that harm all women athletes."

Out CNN anchor Anderson Cooper responded to questions submitted to him at the "Ask Anderson (Almost) Anything" segment of "Full Circle" that wondered how old he was when he knew he was gay, and how old he was when he came out. The 53-year-old Cooper tackled the queries on Jan. 11, People magazine reported. "I was probably... I don't know, seven, when I kind of realized that I... I'm not sure I knew the word 'gay' at the time, but when I realized something was up, something was different," Cooper recalled. "It was probably - yeah, six or seven. I told some friends in high school but I think I really truly accepted it and just kind of, really, not just accepted it, but fully embraced it, and came around to really loving the fact that I was gay would probably be right after college. I kind of struggled even in my teenage years, certainly, but even a little in college - like, not sure. A lot of the plans, the things I wanted to do, at the time you couldn't be gay. I felt like there were a lot of places I would be limited in traveling to for safety reasons," Cooper said. "I felt like there were a lot of limitations on it. And it wasn't what I envisioned for my life... I imagined a family, and getting married, and all the things which weren't possible at the time. So, It took a while to kind of fully embrace it."

It's no great surprise that haters took aim at the recent LGBTQ-inclusive ad for Cadbury's creme eggs, but one of the models in the ad's "sticky same-sex kiss" isn't putting up with what he notes is a double standard. The ad features models Callum Sterling and Dale Moran sharing a Cadbury's creme egg in mouth-to-mouth "Lady and the Tramp" style. The ad has prompted "homophobic trolling on social media," reports Ad Age. Sharing a post from another user at Instagram that calls out the fuss made by those who decry the ad while ignoring the nonstop barrage of (hetero) sexualized images that consumers are subjected to every day, Sterling points out that far fewer people would complain about an identical ad casting "two 'beautiful' cisgendered hetero-looking Caucasian women. So it's ok when an advert sexualizes a women, a caucasian women, THIRTY SEVEN years ago even, to benefit the male gaze and make other women feel inadequate if they do not live up to this beauty standard," Sterling wrote, referencing a lipstick ad from 1984 that featured Lynda Carter. The vintage ad was contained in the post he was sharing. "But it's not okay, in 2021, to have an advert of a multi racial (strike one) gay couple (strike two) on your screens for 10 seconds (strike three) eating/kissing/sexualised (strike four)," Sterling continued, going on to add, "does anyone see how ridiculous this is? Like actual LOL." Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetwork ?️‍???⁠ ⁠ ?: Cadbury / YouTube⁠ ?️: Kilian Melloy / @dragelruairi

A push to finally enact a hate crimes law in Arkansas, a state with a history of white supremacists, appeared to have all the elements for success: a popular Republican governor who made it a priority, major corporations endorsing the idea and support from communities where hate groups have flourished. But the chance to end Arkansas' distinction as one of only three states without such a law is in jeopardy even before lawmakers return to the Capitol. Conservatives have moved to defeat the bill in the majority-GOP Legislature, though similar measures have passed in other red states. The bill's dimming prospects threaten a legislative priority for Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who as a U.S. attorney prosecuted racist militia members but without a hate crimes law's specific penalties. If victims are targeted because of their race, ethnicity or sexual orientation, "we have to express as a society that should not be tolerated and that we should have enhanced penalties for that," Hutchinson told The Associated Press this week.

Even as Donald Trump has acknowledged his presidency is coming to an end, his administration isn't finished attacking LGBTQ Americans, as yet another reversal of federal non-discrimination protections regarding health care and social welfare policies made abundantly clear, Human Rights Watch reports. The new rollback took effect the day after rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol Building, driven in part by conspiracy theories peddled by Trump, along with a number of GOP lawmakers, that falsely assert last November's elections were "rigged" to favor President-elect Joe Biden. The change affects "lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people seeking the services of health and welfare programs funded by the US Department of Health and Human Services," Human Rights Watch notes. "Previously, a federal regulation expressly prohibited health and welfare programs receiving federal funding from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity," HRW explained. "But the administration's new rule, first proposed in 2019, erases this language." The alteration also removes what had been an overt recognition of marriage equality, HRW added. In addition to potentially driving even greater disparities in health care for LGBTQ Americans, the rollback also affects children in need of loving homes and the same-sex couples who are willing to adopt them.

The four "Golden Girls" were originally supposed to be accompanied by a live-in gay housekeeper named Coco who would have been in charge of the cooking, the cleaning, and his share of the sassy comebacks. The addition of an LGBTQ core character to an ensemble comedy in 1985 - right in the midst of the AIDS epidemic - would have been essentially unprecedented, and powerful in terms of representation, notes Decider. Such a move would also have propelled the already-groundbreaking show - about a group of older women, played by TV comedy veterans that included Bea Arthur, Betty White, and Rue McClanahan - even further into daring new TV territory. As The Atlantic put it in 2015, looking back at the show in its 30th anniversary year, "if you imagine Hank Azaria in 'The Birdcage,' only slightly less flamboyant and slightly more amenable to the bathrobe-with-shoulder pads look, then you have a pretty good idea about Coco."

Justin Thomas apologized Saturday afternoon for uttering a homophobic slur under his breath when he missed a 5-foot par putt on the fourth hole of the Sentry Tournament of Champions. "It's inexcusable," Thomas said. "First off, I just apologize. I'm an adult. I'm a grown man, there's absolutely no reason for me to say anything like that. It's terrible. I'm extremely embarrassed. It's not who I am, it's not the kind of person that I am or anything that I do. Unfortunately, I did it and I have to own up to it and I'm very apologetic." Thomas said he was not aware that it had been picked up and was a topic on social media until after his round.

Justin Thomas apologized Saturday afternoon for uttering a homophobic slur under his breath when he missed a 5-foot par putt on the fourth hole of the Sentry Tournament of Champions. "It's inexcusable," Thomas said. "First off, I just apologize. I'm an adult. I'm a grown man, there's absolutely no reason for me to say anything like that. It's terrible. I'm extremely embarrassed. It's not who I am, it's not the kind of person that I am or anything that I do. Unfortunately, I did it and I have to own up to it and I'm very apologetic." Thomas said he was not aware that it had been picked up and was a topic on social media until after his round.

Style expert Tan France is cautiously optimistic about where fashion is headed in the new year. "It's a difficult [question], because we don't really know what's going to happen with the pandemic. I'm hoping that the world will get back on track within the next few months, " France told Business Insider India. "Up until the point where we do start to get back to some normalcy, I think that people are going to stick with what they've done over the last few months, which is sweats," France said. Similar to the response after World War II, France predicts people will be eager to put on their finest threads after months of solitude — "people dressing up as if they're going to a fancy event when really they're just going to work." "I really miss just dressing up because you want to look beautiful. I miss beauty in fashion," France said. Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetwork ??⁠ ⁠ ?: Tan France / Instagram

A 26-year-old Kentucky man has described in an op-ed the horrors he endured a decade ago when, at the age of 16, he was forced to undergo so-called "conversion therapy." Curtis Galloway, in an op-ed published by the River City News, recalled entering a spiral of depression and isolation, losing trust in the parents he'd once been close to, and even, despite his status as a minor, being advised as to how to masturbate. Galloway wrote, the traumatic experience "centered around my sexuality and left me with permanent mental and emotional scars." The ordeal began when Galloway "finally came to terms with my sexuality" at age 16, but acknowledging he was gay meant that he "was to go through the most traumatic experience in my life." Galloway explained that the "therapy" was "an attempt to indoctrinate [the idea] that homosexuality is some kind of a choice." Galloway recounted how "the counselor instructed me to end time with 'gay-affirming friends,' or in other words, anyone who loved and supported me despite being a gay man," a directive that caused Galloway to pull away from his social circle out of fear that he would be taken out of school, "which was my only safe haven."
