Is Being an Older LGBTQ+ Person as Terrifying as It Sounds?
Someone asked me the other day what my favorite movie was, and I immediately said Arthur, like I always do. Then they said, “Never heard of it? When did it come out?” I didn’t answer 1981, nearly 40 years ago. At that moment I felt old, out of date, and superficially shallow.
Thus, I was not surprised by a new report from The Fenway Institute that found older LGBTQ+ adults in the state of Massachusetts have been diagnosed with depression at twice the rate of their straight, cisgender peers. It could be Massachusetts or any other state, or any other country because depression among older LGBTQ+ people is real, and no doubt much more widespread than we ever realize. I always tell people that if it could happen to me, the proverbial life of the party, it can happen to anyone. Having dealt with severe depression, and then having sought out many older LGBTQ+ people who also experienced similar circumstances, I found it remarkable that we all suffered from some sort of PTSD from our youths.
Again, not surprised that the report also found that LGBTQ+ individuals were twice as likely to fall and be injured in a fall over the past year, and I wouldn’t be shocked to hear if some of that was related to dangerous behavior about feeling alone and useless. Another woman, a lesbian, told me that she had a life-threatening operation, and has not been the same since and feels there’s nothing to live for, except her cat, who is 10. Otherwise, she is alone, without her partner who died, and without a family to take care of her. The family has made her feel shame for who she is, and she worries about being alone for the remainder of her life. Some days, she doesn’t feel like getting out of bed, and subsists on her Social Security checks, desperately afraid that she’ll end up in a nursing home left to die. We didn’t discuss it, but I’m sure she feels equal trepidation about not being able to pay the costs of round-the-clock care.

How Riots Affect The Environment
Riots can have negative impacts on the environment, particularly in urban areas. These impacts include increased pollution from debris, potential damage to natural habitats from fires or construction, and disruption to waste management systems. While riots primarily cause social and economic disruption, their effects on the environment, while often secondary, can be significant, especially in the immediate aftermath.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Pollution:
Riots can lead to increased pollution from debris, litter, and potential spills of hazardous materials. The destruction of infrastructure, such as vehicles and buildings, can release pollutants into the air and water.
Habitat Damage:
In some cases, riots can involve fires or other actions that damage natural habitats, especially in urban parks or green spaces. This can disrupt local ecosystems and displace wildlife.
Waste Management Disruption:
Riots can overwhelm waste management systems, leading to overflowing bins, litter accumulation, and potential health hazards. The disruption of garbage collection services can exacerbate these issues.
Long-term Impacts:
While the direct environmental damage from riots may be temporary, the long-term consequences can include increased risk of soil and water contamination, especially if hazardous materials are involved.
Focus on Social and Economic Issues:
While environmental concerns may be secondary to the immediate social and economic disruptions caused by riots, the long-term effects on the environment can be significant, especially in densely populated areas.

A search of Denise Gay’s computer showed she had made up a fake name and was emailing Martre Coles as a ruse about going to Full Sail University. Her computer also showed she had searched for “GHB” and “suffocation.”
“This case is one of the saddest and most disturbing cases I’ve ever worked,” Davenport said. “She took the time to get to know Martre and learn what made him happy, and she used that as a way to kill him.”

“Space crime” allegation leads to arrest of lesbian astronaut’s ex-wife
Summer Worden outed her then-estranged wife, astronaut Anne McClain, when she accused her of illegally attempting to access her bank account from the International Space Station last year. It was dubbed the “first space crime” by the media.
But in a surprising turn of events, Worden has now been indicted and charged with making the whole thing up.
The women were involved in a bitter divorce and custody dispute when Worden made the allegation. Claiming McClain had accessed her account from a NASA computer terminal, Worden filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and NASA’s Office of Inspector General.
After an investigation, federal prosecutors allege that Worden lied about key details about when the account was opened and whether or not McClain had access to the account still.

Male Rape: A Growing Epidemic That Must Be Confronted
A few weeks ago, I read a gripping account of a man in his early thirties who recounted his experience of being raped when he was in his mid 20s. He only recently decided to share his story with others. The person in question made the case that he decided not to use his real name, but rather employed a pseudonym as he told his experience. His story was intense, graphic, gripping, dramatic and gut wrenching. My heart ached at the pain and psychological trauma this man endured and kept concealed from others. Indeed, it was a wonder the level of understandable anguish he harbored did not overwhelm him or cause him to resort to more drastic measures such as suicide.
Over the past few years, we have seen a number of cases where men have been the victims of rape. From the military to college campuses, private homes and other avenues of American society. In fact, a few years ago in 2012, Trey Malone, a junior at Amherst College and a distinguished student both academically and athletically, took his on life after he was unable to deal with the immense trauma and intense emotions he suffered after being the victim of rape by a co-ed.

More than 200 LGBT people have been killed in Mexico in just three years
At least 202 LGBT people have been murdered over the past three years in Mexico.
That’s an average of six homicides every month between 2014 and 2016.
“Trans women are the most exposed to this type of lethal violence,” the report’s authors state.
“It is the first time that the number of trans women murdered exceeds the number of gays,” they added.
Mexican civil rights organisation Letra S SIDA reported that criminals had formed gangs dedicated to targeting gay men, whom they first seduce before attacking and robbing them.

New Bill Would Criminalize Revealing the Truth About Sex and Identity
Identification Chaos
SB 59 would allow someone to secretly change his or her sex and name together after committing a crime. If a law enforcement officer found official records of their original identity, that officer would be legally prohibited from sharing those records, even in court. People whose sex and accompanying name are tied to past actions or crimes change their sex and a different name, and anyone who shows documentation of the change could be punished. Letting anybody secretly change their sex on official documents at any time radically undermines identity verification and will endanger Californians.

Why I don't have a child: society isn't built for motherhood
I was 31 the last time I got pregnant. And after a lifetime of certainty that I did not want to be a mother, I felt an unexpected thing, cutting through the panic and the nausea: happiness.
Every morning since an intuitive nudge sent me to fetch a pregnancy test from the drugstore, my breasts oddly sore and my stomach in a low-level but constant state of turbulence, I would wake up with the thought: “I can do this. I want to do this.”
By the time I fell asleep at night, I was sure there was no possible way I could do this, this being raising a child on my own.
There has been a lot of hand-wringing about declining birth rates, the lowest in more than 30 years, across all race and class divides. We’re told millennial women “choosing” not to have children will be bad for the economy, it will be bad for the ageing baby boomer population, it will be bad for the real estate market. According to Forbes, it’s bad for older women desperate for grandchildren. But are people actually deciding to delay families, or are they finding themselves in unstable situations where the addition of a child seems unworkable? The reasons given when op-ed writers bother to ask millennials – too much debt, not enough financial security, a romantic market that is as rocky as the job market – point more to the latter.
If everyone makes it into the world safely, things that used to be taken for granted are now scarce resources one might fight and compete for. Vitally important systems like decent childcare, education and healthcare has disappeared, leaving parents to choose between inadequate choices or sacrificing untold amounts of money, time and energy to compete the limited amount of something better.
