Karmin Performs “Brokenhearted” at the 2014 Capital Pride Festival in Washington, D.C.
"There is a lot happening." David Archuleta is reading through the lineup of artists set to perform at the two-day WorldPride Music Festival in Washington, D.C. His eyes light up as he peruses the list, certain names producing a silent gasp of excitement, though I can't tell whose from my side of our video call.
"My friend Ty Sunderland is DJing," he says, still reading. Sporting a white tank and well-groomed stubble, much as he does in the sweetly queer video for hit "Crème Brulée," the teen idol-turned-pop prince seems to be searching for one name, in particular. "Isn't Trisha Paytas performing as well?"
U.S. Rep. Angie Craig (D-Minn.) has launched a campaign for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by retiring Democratic Sen. Tina Smith.
The lesbian congresswoman entered the Senate race after holding town hall meetings last week in all four of Minnesota's congressional districts currently held by Minnesota Republicans.
In her launch video, which shows Craig traveling to different regions of the state listening to voters' concerns, Craig vows to "break through the chaos" emanating from Washington and fight back against "a president trampling our rights and freedoms as he profits for personal gain, and a cowardly Republican Party rolling over and letting it all happen."
A masked assailant threw a sharp rock through the front window of a gay couple's home in Northeast D.C., striking one of the men in the head.
The attack occurred last Friday in the city’s Kingman Park neighborhood, just as WorldPride weekend festivities were set to begin.
Surveillance video captured the assault. In the footage, a masked individual approaches the couple’s house -- decorated with rainbow Pride flags in the front yard -- and hurls a rock through the front window before fleeing. A cry can be heard from inside the home.
