Morning Brew – Michelle Rodriguez attempts to defend “(Re)Assignment”

Good morning! Happy Friday!

If you’re in Los Angeles tonight, I highly suggest you come to Book Soup and see our brilliant Hook Up columnist Anna Pulley as she reads from The Lesbian Sex Haiku Book (With Cats!).

Gatorade unveiled a new wind-powered art installation celebrating out basketball star Elena Delle Donne that can be seen in Chicago outside of Allstate Arena where the Sky plays. Pretty bad ass.

U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb decided Wisconsin officials discriminated against a married lesbian couple after they refused to include the name of the non-biological mother on their baby’s birth certificate. She ordered the state to begin using more gender-neutral terms in order to keep from further liability. Women judges FTW!

Michelle Rodriguez and Sigourney Weaver see nothing wrong with their new film (Re)Assignment. Says Michelle:

“I’m bisexual. I do guys. I do girls. You can’t really argue with me because I’m you. So if I do a movie, I’d never do a movie with the intention of offending anybody in the LGBT community because I’m a part of it.”

Still honestly confused about why Sigourney agreed to do this film and why the Toronto International Film Festival wanted to premiere it.

Lady Gaga‘s new album, Joanne, is coming October 21.

Linda Perry is featured in V’s “Powerhouse Producers.”

A queer post-apocalyptic Western?! Sounds good to us. Bitch Flicks talks with Amanda Milius, director of The Lotus Gun, which you can watch below.

Queer Olympia-based band G.L.O.S.S. is being transparent with fans about refusing to sign with Epitaph Records because of their major label distribution ties.

Web series The Fake Amazonaholic included a very real marriage proposal on a recent episode.

During an ESPN interview, Abby Wambach was asked about Megan Rapinoe’s taking a knee during the National Anthem, among other things.

Esquire hypes Her Story.

Out writer Jessica Sharzer has a new show coming to Fox with Empire‘s Danny Strong. From Deadline:

…the untitled project centers on a team of civil rights lawyers who take on the most newsworthy cases of our time, balancing the high stress of their jobs with sex, drugs and assorted other vices.

Idina Menzel is not sure the world is ready for lesbian Elsa.

Umm… I don’t know about that, considering we’re having a hard time even getting Donald Trump out of the way. Sometimes it’s a little discouraging. But you never know. We keep making all these strides. We’ve made a lot of strides in the last couple of years, and then all of a sudden the hate and the vitriol within our country is exposed and you’re like, “What happened? We’re in the ancient times again.”
