Took Memorial Day Off
By Daddy
Las Vegas — Sort of took Memorial day off... Finished the last loads of laundry, folded all the cloths and then did practically nothing for the rest of the day. Binge watching "Club de Cuervos" on Netflix to see all of the soccer eye candy. I'm only able to get only about 10% of the Spanish.

Earlier this month, more than 20 lawmakers tried to delay the marriage ruling by 18 months but the measure failed and the ban was lifted at midnight – although couples will have to opt for online weddings due to the coronavirus restrictions.

New Study Shows How COVID-19 Is Wreaking Havoc on Queer POC
By Sam Manzella
United States — The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had a particularly devastating financial impact on one subset of the LGBTQ community: queer people of color.

As far as unemployment goes, 22% of queer POC reported losing their jobs due to COVID-19 versus 14% of white LGBTQ people and 13% of non-LGBTQ respondents.
