Being in Entertainment you see a lot of really bad and good fashions decisions, but the ones that you do in a competition will get you sent home. I’ve noticed a pattern in contestants on RuPaul’s Drag Race AFTER they get sent home for something stupid, they always seem to look 10X better than they did when they were competing for the title/money.

Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called a meeting of Assemblyman Danny O’Donnell, Assemblywoman Deborah Glick, State Sen. Brad Hoylman, former State Sen. Tom Duane, and a representative for City Council Speaker Christine Quinn regarding pressure he's feeling over including a provision for gay couples in comprehensive immigration reform, Politico reports: “Sen. Schumer called the meeting because he is in trouble with a key constituency,” said Rachel Tiven of the group Immigration Equality. She attended the gathering and has been vocal in her criticism of Schumer on the issue. Tiven said she couldn’t discuss what Schumer said since the May 10 meeting in his Manhattan office was off the record, but several attendees said the sentiment was clear: it would be unforgivable if the provision were omitted. O’Donnell and Tiven were reportedly "the most vocal" in the meeting.

A man has been arrested in Puerto Rico for a bomb threat directed at LGBT rights activist Pedro Julio Serrano and an upcoming LGBT rights demonstration, the AP reports: Special Agent Moises Quniones says the suspect was taken into custody at home in San Juan on a cyberbullying charge. Joseph Morales Serrano is accused of using the micro-blogging site to post a threatening message directed at activist Pedro Julio Serrano ahead of gay rights demonstration. The two men aren't related. The message in Spanish said "watch out during the demonstration, it can end like in Boston," an apparent reference to the April 15 Boston Marathon bombing.
