Finally, burger chain In-N-Out is changing some recipes to include organic ingredients and natural dues versus processed and synthetic petroleum-based additives. Not a bad idea in our opinion.

The P Town Bar in Pittsburgh was raided early this month for “compliance issues.” This should worry us all as kitted up police stormed the performance of nightlife icon Amanda Lepore for no apparent reason other than a nuisance complaint. Then, MAGA worshipping Senator Mike Lee of Utah, is trying once again to ban pornography in the USA. Finally, our favorite 80's televangelist and convicted felon, Jim Bakker, shows up looking for a million dollars or he will be on the street. We all fondly remember his wife, Tammy Faye, who died in 2007.

The Mayor of Salisbury Maryland has decided to paint over the city's Rainbow Crosswalks to “maintain neutrality in public spaces.” The Rainbow crosswalks have been part of the city landscape since 2018. Out West, the city leadership in Salt Lake City and Boise have come up with creative work arounds to defy their state legislature's ban on the Pride and other “special interest” flags. Finally, a road rage incident in the Philly suburbs goes viral when one of the drivers gets out of her car and poops on the hood of the other car. The “Rage Pooper” is also an OnlyFans Foot Fetish model.

Oscar winning movie, “Brokeback Mountain,” is getting a 20th Anniversary re-release this June. With all the current anti-LGBTQ legislation and rhetoric taking place right now the timing is interesting. But first, a climber had to be rescued twice in two weeks when illegally traversing Mt. Fuji in Japan during the off season. The second rescue was triggered when he went in search of his phone and other personal items. Then, several large Las Vegas Hotels are eliminating their concierge staff as more people use their digital assets to plan their stay.

According to Outsports, back before social media took over in the early 2000s, recruits were described with phrases like “nice V,” “muscular,” and “tight bubble.” In other news, poor Caitlyn Jenner is being sued over her meme coin venture. She's launched a GoFundMe for legal fees — and as of today, it's raised a grand total of $14. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is looking to roll back services on the 988 Lifeline — potentially cutting critical options for Spanish speakers, LGBTQ individuals, and veterans. In response, our friends up north have stepped in: Canada's suicide hotline is now open to Americans, with an option to be routed back to U.S. services if needed. Thank you, Canada.

A growing Change.org petition with over 50,000 signatures is calling for Nashville International Airport to be renamed in honor of country icon Dolly Parton. Plus: Marriott CEO Anthony Capuano doubles down on diversity, equity, and inclusion, affirming Marriott's global commitment to welcoming everyone to work and stay. And Boeing's back in the hot seat as over 3,000 737s face a recall over faulty bathroom latches that literally trapped a passenger inside mid-flight.

Costco is the new Target—and not just for bulk snacks. As Target's once-progressive halo dims under political pressure and plunging foot traffic, shoppers on both sides of the aisle are walking away. Meanwhile, a Texas judge defends free speech and drag, giving the green light for students to bring Draggieland back to Texas A&M. And finally, David Wallace makes the case for why gay bars still matter, even if straight people treat them like novelty nightclubs. Identity, retail, and resistance—it's all on tap.

This week, justice is served with a $10 million payout to a lesbian police officer who faced relentless harassment in her own department. Then we ask: why is America so sad? Turns out, more of us are dining alone—and not just skipping dessert. Meanwhile, Hooters goes bust (bankrupt, not topless), but promises a comeback with more “family-friendly” vibes. Wings, loneliness, and justice—what more do you want?

The iconic Sundance Film Festival is packing up after 40 years in Park City, Utah, heading to Boulder, Colorado—but is it really about politics? Meanwhile, Anheuser-Busch drops St. Louis PrideFest after three decades of support, saying they "don't see the value" (yikes). And if you've ever handed your DNA over to 23andMe, now might be the time to hit delete—the company is up for sale. Tune in for all the details!
