Good morning!
For my #WCW, I’m going with Ellen DeGeneres hanging with a bunch of kids in clothes she designed, set to Le Tigre‘s “Deceptacon.” Seriously, her ED line for GAP Kids is sick.
One of Berlin’s best house DJs, Tama Sumo, is an out and proud lesbian. She talks about bringing politics to the dance floor and dating another DJ in an interview with Boiler Room.
Both Annie Clark and Cara Delevingne looked lovely at the New York premiere of Paper Towns last night.

Out director Coley Sohn is raising funds for her new film Dodie & Cheryl Get Hitched. Here’s the description:
Dodie and Cheryl are two small-town lesbians who lead a quiet, modest life, accepted by most because they keep it to themselves. After they attend a neighbor’s shotgun wedding, Cheryl finds herself longing for more. She wants to count too. As wedding plans get underway, Dodie’s enthusiasm wanes. Resentment builds between them, coupled with an ugly swell of hypocrisy from their dogmatic community. In the vein of John Waters, Dodie & Cheryl Get Hitched questions not only if the couple’s union can survive, but also why they would want to be part of such an f-ed up institution in the first place?

Girls Aloud’s Sarah Harding is trying out acting on Coronation Street, but it won’t be as a gay woman, though that was the original plan. She was supposed to play the third in a Sophie-Maddie love triangle, but then Maddie got killed (of course) so now Sarah is playing a straight gal named Preston.
Jennifer Hudson’s music video for “I Still Love You” is up for a VMA! Directed by out filmmaker Molly Schiot and also starring Leisha Hailey, the video is about a gay couple and one of the groom’s fathers, who shows up to the wedding unexpectedly. Tune in August 30 to find out if the video wins Best Video with a Social Message.
Also at the end of August, Fun Home star Beth Malone will stage a solo cabaret in NYC!
