Morning Brew – Tuesday, April 5: Jasika Nicole in a new book, Ian Brennan talks Brittana

Morning!

Out actress Jasika Nicole is also an incredibly talented artist, and her work is going to be featured in a new book, The Letter Q.

Are you in Chicago? Do you love Le Tigre? The Chicago screening of their doc Who Took the Bomp is happening Friday, April 15 and you can win tickets to see it.

So if you are in the Windy City and want a shot at winning tickets, shoot me a PM and tell me your favorite Le Tigre jam. If you don’t want to chance my picking you at random, then you can buy discounted tickets by using the promo “cimmfest.”

Lesbian Baptist preacher Genie Hargrove was the subject of a StoryCorps story last week, and now a blogger at The Moderate Voice is putting together a video of her work, including his commitment renewal ceremony that she officiated in 2009.

Gayle King talked with TV Guide about her new show and her friendship with Oprah. When asked about those lesbian rumors, she said:

In the beginning, it used to bother me. Like, “Oh, my God, I don’t want people to think I’m gay – I’m trying to get a date!” But now I don’t care. I’ve given up trying to figure that out. At this stage, if you still think that, it’s on you.
