“Although it may seem the universe finds some strange purpose in interrupting the trajectory of successful queer spaces on the cusp of a content renaissance, the queer community is resilient, if not resourceful. As long as there are those who would seek to rid themselves of the few spaces queer people inhabit, there are far more of us still who strive to ensure our community has all the space we need to connect, grow, and flourish.” Queeks celebrates queer geeks -- come hang out! https://queeks.com

Apple's new Mac ads feature a helpful (and cute) Genius

EDITOR'S NOTE: Normally Apple announcing new ads wouldn't generally make the cut for NewsQueeks.  But..I think you'll agree..the new ad boy is cute.  Don't you agree?  :)

My first thought, when I saw Apple's trio of new Mac ads that premiered during NBC's Olympicscoverage last night: "Was it a deliberate casting choice to go with a guy who would remind us of Ferris Bueller?"

This Genius Bar stalwart -- who does wear his blue shirt and badge everywhere he goes, including to bed -- is called upon to help the hapless, helpless guys he encounters on a plane, on the street and at his front door at four in the morning. (Fans of the Upright Citizens Brigade will recognize improv star Matt Besser as the freaked-out father to be in the Labor Day spot.)

Asteroid named for gay rights pioneer Frank Kameny

A Canadian amateur astronomer has named an asteroid he discovered after U.S. gay rights pioneer Frank Kameny, who died last year in Washington.

Kameny, who earned a doctorate in astronomy at Harvard University, was an astronomer with the U.S. Army Map Service in the 1950s but was fired from his job for being gay. He contested the firing all the way to the Supreme Court and later organized the first gay rights protests outside the White House, the Pentagon and in Philadelphia in the 1960s.

Internet's Reaction to J.Lo "Lesbian Show" Shows Internet is Way Too Easily Excitable

Releasing important or controversial news on a Friday has historically been seen as a ploy to bury a story, the theory being that nobody's going to pay much attention to it because they're too busy watching the clock. It's been done by Bush's andObama's White House, in fact.

This past Friday afternoon, ABC Family (allegedly) announced that they're going to develop an hour-long drama series with Jennifer Lopez. But why Friday afternoon, ABC Family? A Friday afternoon on what many are taking as a long weekend, no less? Why couldn't you wait until until after the weekend? What are you hiding from us?
