“It’s easy to forget now, when we’ve come so far, where now marriage is equal under the law—just how much courage was required for Ellen to come out on the most public of stages almost 20 years ago. Just how important it was not just to the LGBT community, but for all of us to see somebody so full of kindness and light, somebody we liked so much, somebody who could be our neighbor or our colleague or our sister challenge our own assumptions, remind us that we have more in common than we realize, push our country in the direction of justice. What an incredible burden that was to bear. To risk your career like that. People don’t do that very often. And then to have the hopes of millions on your shoulders. But it’s like Ellen says: We all want a tortilla chip that can support the weight of guacamole. Which really makes no sense to me, but I thought would brighten the mood, because I was getting kind of choked up. And she did pay a price—we don’t remember this. I hadn’t remembered it. She did, for a pretty long stretch of time—even in Hollywood. And yet, today, every day, in every way, Ellen counters what too often divides us with the countless things that bind us together—inspires us to be better, one joke, one dance at a time.” —President Obama awarding the Medal of Freedom, our nation’s highest civilian honor, to Ellen DeGeneres yesterday, along with 20 other Americans who have contributed to their fields.

Manhattan Sunday, Richard Renaldi

“The city takes a while to wake up, and the first people you see at the break of day are the night-clubbers, street cleaners, and prostitutes.”

Photographer Richard Renaldi’s, a former night-clubber who has lived in New York since 1986, ongoing series “Manhattan Sunday” captures the way the city feels after painting the town red all night.

David Mancuso - 1944-2016

[D]on’t mistake him for the father of disco or the man behind modern club life, as Mancuso’s vision was more profound than that. If anything, Mancuso suggested that any music can be dance music so long as it moves people, and that the Loft can serve as an ideal for living (rather than perpetuating nightclubs’ obsession with status and need for liquor sales). Climbing the stairs up to the Loft provided a glimpse into what true community, democracy, and unity actually looked and felt like. – Andy Beta, Pitchfork

Check out Andy’s roundup of 10 classic songs from The Loft, and dig into Funky 16 Corner’s appreciation and the Sound of the Drum, a truly joyous mix.

If there is a faggot holy book, it is ‘The Faggots & Their Friends Between Revolutions.’ Every time I read it I feel like I see a little bit clearer, like I know myself a little better, and I find new appreciation for the gift of being queer. #thefaggotsandtheirfriendsbetweenrevolutions (at Windsor over Peachtree)
