FRANK BRUNI. The gay truth about Trump: “His treatment of gay people perfectly reveals the flabbiness of his convictions and his willingness to stand at odds with a majority of Americans if it pleases the smaller number who adore him. He'll suffer our anger for their ardor. Decency and principle don't enter into it.”

LORI LIGHTFOOT. Chicago's first African-American female and LGBTQ mayor speaks with Stephen Colbert.

MASTERCARD. “True Name” program is a first for the credit industry: ‘Imagine being unable to pay for dinner or getting harassed at a checkout line because the name on your credit card isn't who you are. That's a reality for many transgender and nonbinary people, and one that MasterCard aims to address with its new True Name program. Cardholders will soon be able to swap out credit, debit or prepaid cards with their “dead name” with new ones featuring the names they actually use. Experts say it's a first for the financial services industry.'

CHARLES LESLIE LOHMAN. How a self-taught art curator because a gay rights champion: “The '60s was the barest beginning. You had gay art and straight kids taking off the shackles of the Eisenhower years. The '70s was like a flower opening up. There was hedonism. Everything got surprisingly gay: art, music, dance, theater. The '80s was a terrible shrinkage because the plague got everyone. The '90s was about recovery. We discovered artists didn't go into hiding; there were still a few private venues that showed work. We reestablished ourselves. During the new century things were sort of back to normal. This new decade has brought a new audience of people who weren't even born when the AIDS crisis was here.”

DEPRESSION. Lizzo is opening up about hers: “There's no one I can talk to because there's nothing anyone can do about it. Life hurts.”
