My grandfather became a good friends with Rock Hudson during WWII, they were in the Navy stationed in the Philippines together. When Hudson died my grandfather told me that "Roy" was one of the kindest men he'd ever known. I'll never forget his sadness.

It's a shame that Rock Hudson had to live his life in secret. He did it because there were people like Ron DeSantis & his evangelical buddies around at the time, oppressing people, making them fearful. We can't allow that situation to happen again.

Good news... Hi Wendy, Your biopsy result is benign. This is a normal result, so great news there! We will repeat your ultrasound in 1 year to follow up on any further change in the nodule, but with 2 benign biopsies, I do not think you need any further biopsies in the future.

Joanie Labine the 1st female DJ at the Whisky A Go-Go c.1964 played records in a suspended booth next to the stage & danced along to the music. Club goers thought it was part of the show so that's how go-go dancing was popularized. She also reportedly designed go-go girl uniform.

In 1952, artist Ellsworth Kelly created Red Yellow Blue White, a set of panels made from brightly dyed cotton. He then asked his friend Anne Weber to sew the leftover fabric into a dress banded with color, a way “of getting color off the wall and having it walk around the room.”
