Gay History – February 4: Maria Schneider Swings, Closeted GOP Congressman BUSTED, & Liberace Tinkles The Keys One Last Time

1973: Twenty year old French actress and star of the The Last Tango in ParisMaria Schneider, admits to the New York Times that she is bisexual, stating “I’ve had quite a few lovers for my age. More men than women . . . women I love more for beauty than for sex.  Men I love for grace and intelligence.”

In early 1976, Schneider abandoned the film set of Caligula and checked herself into a mental hospital in Rome for several days to be with her lover, photographer Joan Townsend.] This, coupled with her refusal to perform nude, led to Schneider’s dismissal and she was replaced by Teresa Ann Savoy.

Maria Schneider died from cancer on February 3, 2011 at age 58.

1981: Jon Hinson (R-Mississippi) an extremely conservative congressman is arrested for performing an act of “oral sodomy” with a twenty-eight-year-old man in the rest room of a House of Representatives office building.  He was taken into custody along with a male employee of the Library of Congress.

He pleads no contest and is given a thirty-day suspended sentence.  He resigns two months later.

It also becomes known that Hinson also survived a 1977 fire that killed nine people at the Cinema Follies, a Washington theater that catered to a gay clientele. while he was an aide for then Republican Thad Cochran. He was rescued from under a pile of bodies — one of only four men who survived.

After his resignation he publicly acknowledged his homosexuality and became active in gay political issues. Hinson fought against the ban on homosexuals in the military and was a founder of the Fairfax Lesbian and Gay Citizens Association in Fairfax County, VA before his death from respiratory failure resulting from AIDS in July 1995

1987: Liberace dies at the age of 62 in Palm Springs from AIDS.  Just two weeks earlier his publicists had denied a Las Vegas Sun story which claimed he had the disease. He is buried in Los Angeles’ Forest Lawn Cemetery.

What can I say about the old queen that has not already been said in Behind The Candelabra.

2004: The Massachusetts high court rules that only full, equal marriage rights for gay couples, not civil unions, would be constitutional. “The history of our nation has demonstrated that separate is seldom, if ever, equal,” an advisory opinion from the four justices who ruled in favor of gay marriage stated. A bill creating only civil unions, not full marriage rights, would be “unconstitutional, inferior, and discriminatory status for same-sex couples.”

A 74-year-old retired schoolteacher from a New York City was sentenced to 30 months in prison Wednesday for mailing dozens of violent threats to LGBT affiliated individuals, groups and businesses over several years. Including a threat to blow up the historic Stonewall Inn.

Via FOX News: Fehring pleaded guilty in February to mailing threatening communications through the postal service. “We are disappointed in the length of the sentence, but Mr. Fehring is happy to be putting this nightmare behind him,” his attorney, Glenn Obedin, said in an email. “He is deeply remorseful for what occurred, and looks forward to living quietly with his family once he has served his sentence.”

Fehring also threatened to place explosives at 2021 New York City Pride march that would “make the 2016 Orlando Pulse Nightclub shooting look like a cakewalk,” referring to the 2016 attack in which 49 people were killed and dozens wounded at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida.

“Robert Fehring made heinous threats against members of the LGBTQ community in locations throughout New York, including Suffolk County, for nearly eight years,” Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison said in a statement. “Thanks to the tireless efforts of our department’s Hate Crimes Unit detectives and the diligent work of our law enforcement partners, Fehring is being held accountable for his crimes.”

An FBI search of Fehring’s home last November in Long Island, yielded two loaded shotguns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition in addition to copies of letters containing threats. Investigators also found a stamped envelope addressed to an LGBT-affiliated attorney containing the remains of a dead bird, according to the U.S. attorney’s office for the Eastern District of New York.

All of them say their doctor-patient relationships turned inappropriately sexual. In one of the lawsuits, one woman claims Ablow told her things like, “I own you,” and “You are my slave”.

Ablow is one of Fox New’s most anti-LGBT television talking heads. He has appeared alongside Family Research Council and KKK connected hate group leader Tony Perkins and has claimed that there is no such thing as being transgender and that LGBT rights will lead to ‘three humans and a dog’ marriage.

He voted against adding ‘sexual orientation, gender identity, gender and disability’ to the federal hate crime protection groups, against the repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’ and for the Defense of Marriage Act, which defined marriage as between a man and a woman.

Multiple sources who were at Coachella have come forward to confirm Shock’s very gay behavior at the music event.

Itay Hod, senior writer at the Hollywood site The Wrap who first outed Schock in 2014 and received backlash from one in the LGBT community for outing him stated: “I think Aaron has a lot of explaining to do.
While we are all sympathetic to the struggle of coming out of the closet, for years Schock was one of the most homophobic members of Congress, actively working against the community. I think he owes the LGBTQ community an apology before we embrace him as a private citizen.”

Aaron Schock has been unavailable for comment.

Christian Family Values Ohio State Rep. Wes Goodman Resigns After Being Busted Having Gay Sex In His Office

 

Ohio GOP State Rep. Wes Goodman, who consistently touted his faith and conservative values,  resigned late Tuesday after being confronted with evidence of inappropriate  sexual conduct with another man inside his Riffe Center office.

House Speaker Cliff Rosenberger, , met Tuesday afternoon with Goodman soon after the speaker became aware of an incident from weeks ago in the lawmaker’s office that, sources said, involved a male in a consensual situation.

“I was alerted to details yesterday afternoon regarding his involvement in inappropriate behavior related to his state office,” Rosenberger said in a statement on Wednesday. “I met with him later in the day where he acknowledged and confirmed the allegations. It became clear that his resignation was the most appropriate course of action for him, his family, the constituents of the 87th House District and this institution.”

Goodman, 33, who says on his campaign web site that “healthy, vibrant, thriving, values-driven families are the source of Ohio’s proud history” and on Twitter as “Christian. American. Conservative. Republican, ”expressed regret for his actions.

“We all bring our own struggles and our own trials into public life. That has been true for me, and I sincerely regret that my actions and choices have kept me from serving my constituents and our state in a way that reflects the best ideals of public service,” he said in a statement. “For those whom I have let down, I’m sorry. As I move onto the next chapter of my life, I sincerely ask for privacy for myself, my family, and my friends.” (You got to be kidding.)

Previously, Goodman was an aide to and is a close friend of anti-gay extremist U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, of Urbana, Ohio who develops “pro-family and pro-liberty” policies.

Jordan endorsed Goodman in 2016, saying he had “the character, experience and passion to serve the families and taxpayers of our part of Ohio in the Statehouse.”

Caitlyn Jenner Has Award Revoked From TransNation Film Festival After Complaints by the LGBT Community

Los Angeles based health organization St. John’s Well Child and Family Center was set to honor  Caitlyn Jenner this weekend at the Eleganza Ball, which was part of the TransNation Festival with a special award.

That is until trans activist Ashlee Marie Preston caught wind of the clinic’s plan sand launched a Change.org petition, urging St. John’s to “stop dishonoring the LGBTQ community by honoring Caitlyn Jenner”, pointing out Jenner’s right-wing leanings and her support of Donald Trump.

The petition also accused Jenner of purchasing awards “as an attempt to mask her damaged rapport with the community at large”.

“We believe the decision to publicly award Caitlyn Jenner on 10/21/17 at the TransNation Film Festival’s Eleganza night is a terrible mistake,” Preston wrote. “The decision was made without considerable input from the transgender staff at St. John’s who are also community members above all else. We know that Caitlyn has given money to St John’s, and we know that the higher-ups want more from her.”

Preston also called Jenner a “humanitarian fraud” who is using her nonprofit, the Caitlyn Jenner Foundation, “as a self-congratulatory tool to lend credibility to her status as an influential figure within the LGBTQ community”.

On Wednesday St John’s Well announced hat they had rescinded the award to Jenner..

“We hear your concerns & take them seriously. Therefore, Caitlyn will not be receiving an award at the Eleganza Ball,” the health organisation tweeted before sharing a statement explaining that the needs of their trans clients were their priority.

“For us, it has always been about the patients who we serve. We have managed to focus on the human impact over politics. But, in today’s political climate, we realize that it is increasingly difficult to separate the two– especially because transgender lives are at risk every day under this new administration,” a spokesperson said. “This reality has renewed our commitment to work to create positive change and bring members of our community together to heal. That begins with listening to our brothers and sisters.”

In  a press release later that day Jenner claimed that SHE was the one that declined the award stating:.

“In this spirit of unity and love, I’m going to decline the award they so graciously offered me for supporting their mission. I understand that my presence is distracting from the real purpose of the event, which is to celebrate the important and life-saving work of St. John’s. I will continue my commitment to helping marginalised communities through my foundation. because her presence was “distracting from the real purpose of the event.”

Ashlee Marie Preston is the same trans activist and Editor in chief of Wear Your Voice, who lit into Jenner at  a Trans Chorus of Los Angeles performance of “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars in August, which was sponsored in part by a cash donation from Jenner.

 

Robert Mueller’s Grand Jury Has Already Begun Issuing Subpoenas

Grand jury subpoenas have been issued in connection with a June 2016 meeting that included President Donald Trump’s son, his son-in-law and a Russian lawyer, two sources told Reuters on Thursday, in a sign that special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation is gathering pace. The sources added that Mueller had convened a grand jury in Washington to help investigate allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election.

Mueller’s use of a grand jury could give him expansive tools to pursue evidence, including issuing subpoenas and compelling witnesses to testify. The impaneling of the grand jury was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. A spokesman for Mueller declined comment. A grand jury is a group of ordinary citizens who, working behind closed doors, considers evidence of potential criminal wrongdoing that a prosecutor is investigating and decides whether charges should be brought. – via Reuters

Given the fact that Mueller inherited an investigation that began months ago, it would suggest that he has uncovered information pointing in the direction of criminal charges. But against whom?

The one time I wouldn’t mind doing jury duty and I’m not picked.
