Monica Lewinsky is the subject of a new profile in Vanity Fair, in which she compares her experience with President Clinton to that of Tyler Clementi, the Rutgers student who committed suicide after his roommate recorded him kissing another man:

Screen Shot 2014-05-06 at 1.56.07 PMWhen Tyler Clementi, the 18-year-old Rutgers freshman who was secretly streamed via Webcam kissing another man, committed suicide in September 2010, Lewinsky writes, she was brought to tears, but her mother was especially distraught: “She was reliving 1998, when she wouldn’t let me out of her sight. She was replaying those weeks when she stayed by my bed, night after night, because I, too, was suicidal. The shame, the scorn, and the fear that had been thrown at her daughter left her afraid that I would take my own life—a fear that I would be literally humiliated to death.”

Lewinsky clarifies that she has never actually attempted suicide, but had strong suicidal temptations several times during the investigations and during one or two periods after.

The former White House intern says she's telling her story (again) "to get involved with efforts on behalf of victims of online humiliation and harassment."


Chris Sevier claims he filed a motion on behalf of other sexual minorities: "If gay couples have the right to marry their object of sexual desire, even if they lack corresponding sexual parts, then I should have the right to marry my preferred sexual object."

Sevier, who has a history of filing frivolous lawsuits, explained how he and his laptop began their courtship:

Recently, I purchased an Apple computer. The computer was sold to me without filters to block out pornography. I was not provided with any warning by Apple that pornography was highly addictive and could alter my reward cycle by the manufacturer. Over time, I began preferring sex with my computer over sex with real women. Naturally, I 'fell in love' with my computer and preferred having sex with it over all other persons or things, as a result of classic conditioning upon orgasm.


“What year is this? 1814? Come on people, it’s 2014,” Leno said to a group of about 50 protestors in Will Rogers Park. “Evil flourishes when good people do nothing—and that is pretty much what this is.”

Leno was joined by his wife, Mavis, at the protest. Other celebrities boycotting the hotel include Ellen DeGeneres, Richard Branson, Stephen Fry and director William Friedkin.

John "Long Jones" Abdallah Wambereone of the subjects of the award-winning documentary Call Me Kuchu, is applying for asylum in the United States.

Wambere who came to the U.S. in February, fled ant-gay persecution in his native Uganda. Just days after his arrival, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni signed a law that imposed up to life in prison for homosexuals, as well as harsh penalties for anyone who supports or speaks openly about the LGBT community.

Call Me Kuchu reveals the stories of brave LGBT men and women, including slain Ugandan advocate David Kato, who are fighting for equality and justice in the African nation.

"The situation in Uganda has only gone from bad to worse since John arrived in the United States to raise awareness," explained Janson Wu, Senior Staff Attorney for GLAD, which is taking Wambere's case. "[He] now runs the risk of life in prison, simply because of who he is and because of his advocacy on behalf of the LGBTI and HIV-positive communities... Those are the grounds for asylum and that is why we believe the U.S. government should grant the application without delay."

In April, Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o presented the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Documentary to Wambere and Call Me Kutchu directors Katherine Fairfax Wright and Malika Zouhali-Worrall.
