In a June 29 Instagram post, 22-year-old Maud Angelica Behn daughter of Martha Louise of Norway, granddaughter of King Harald V and Queen Sonja, and fifth in line to the throne identified herself as bisexual while wishing her followers a happy Pride.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Maud Angelica Behn (@maud_angelica_behn)In her own post, Martha Louise shared photos of herself with her daughter at Pride and expressed unbridled support for the LGBTQ+ community. Love is never wrong, she wrote. This Pride Month, I want to honour the courage it takes to live your truth. During Pride I see a deep capacity for love love that doesnt ask for permission or explanation.Theres something profoundly beautiful about daring to love who you love, even when the world tells you to be quiet, to shrink, or to hide, she continued. But love isnt meant to be hidden. Its meant to be celebrated, lived, and shared in all its wonderful forms. She also said that Pride is about both identity and freedom, as well as the bravery to be fully yourself in a world that often doesnt make it easy. To everyone out there still trying to find the words or the courage: You are seen, you are loved, and you never have to apologise for who you are, she concluded. Martha Louise, a self-described clairvoyant, kept her title but relinquished her royal duties in 2022, dedicating herself to an alternative medicine business with her controversial now-husband Durek Verrett. She has two other daughters in addition to Maud. Their father, Martha Louises first husband Ari Behn, took his own life in 2019. Two years earlier, he had accused Kevin Spacey of misconduct. Maude has since become known for her mental health advocacy. At only 16 years old, she became famous for a powerful speech she made at her fathers funeral, imploring people to reach out for help when they need it. Theres always a way out, she told people struggling. In the aftermath, she was named 2020s Bravest Woman in Norway by Tara Magazine. She said at the time that she wanted to use her grief to help others, and now, with coming out, she is using her Pride to do the same.

I opened an email announcement sent by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), an LGBTQ+ civil rights organization, with the subject line:these colors dont run Independence Day special. I felt as if I were struck by one of the lightning bolts that had been igniting the skies the past few days above my western Massachusetts town.Initially I thought perhaps an right-wing organization had ripped off the mailing lists of queer and trans community members to co-opt our movement by employing similar imagery and textual phraseology used by those who oppose us. Related True allyship means honoring the spaces marginalized communities carve out for themselves Theres a difference between standing with us and standing in front of us. Along with the ad for a rainbow-winged eagle shirt, HRC attempted to explain with words highlighted in a vivid yellow why members of our communities needed to purchase this product in recognition of Independence Day: Dive deeper every day Join our newsletter for thought-provoking commentary that goes beyond the surface of LGBTQ+ issues Subscribe to our Newsletter today A fierce rainbow-winged eagle with a sassy attitude, this graphic is about reclaiming the imagery of America, the description read, adding that the image affirms our countrys resilience and reminds MAGA supporters that we belong and were NOT backing down.I get HRCs intent to communicate that members of our community certainly have a right to exist, to remain here in the United States as welcomed and respected participants with equal rights and privileges. The impact this email missive had on me was initially shocking, which soon turned to resentment and scorn that an organization supposedly representing LGBTQ+ people would, like those on the extreme right, promote aggressive militarist iconography under the banner of These colors dont run. This is neither reclaiming the type of imagery we should be using to represent the United States, nor is it reclaiming the phrase used in toxic masculinity to justify aggression, bullying, and violence.Yes, I understand that These Colors Dont Run! is an expression some people in the military use to assert that the United States of America, through the flags red, white, and blue, does not retreat from challenges and confrontations. The phrase has also been co-opted by members of the MAGA movement to express their intention of taking back the country to its far-right extremes.But I am often reminded of the insightful words of one of our leading poets and essayists,Audre Lorde, who warned: For the masters tools will never dismantle the masters house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change. Placing rainbow wings on a predatory American eagle is tantamount to relinquishing our social change challenges and past victories based on our dedication to the philosophy of nonviolent resistance.Must we surrender our values in this age of ever-increasing violence at home and abroad? Is this the price we must pay to maintain the rights we have worked long and hard to earn? Must we embrace the dangerously sharp-clawed eagle to advance the revolutionary change we need to make the nation live up to its promise of liberty and justice for all?Yes, queer and trans assimilation certainly has its limits. But critical questions must be addressed: Do we even want to assimilate into a corrupt system as it currently exists, where inequality prevails, where property rights hold priority over human rights, where the wealth and income gap ever widens, and where marginalized groups are blamed for causing these problems? Much has certainly been gained over the years as our visibility has increased and our place within the culture has become somewhat more assured. But I also cant help but feel that something very precious has been lost.Our early excitement, though by no means our ability, to fullyrestructurethe culture, as distinguished from mere reform, seems now to lie dormant in many of our political organizations and communities.LGBTQ+ identities alone are not sufficient to connect a community or fuel a movement for progressive social change. We must, therefore, look beyond ourselves and base our communities and movements not simply on our identities, but also on our shared ideals. We must come together with like-minded people who share similar political philosophies and strategies.This is my vision of a movementfor social change. HRC certainly does not speak for or represent me, my goals, or my ideals.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.

MSNBCs Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough was in hysterics while discussing Attorney General Pam Bondis explanation for why a full minute is missing from the surveillance tape outside the cell of the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein on the night he died.A newly released memo from the Department of Justice said a recent investigation concluded Epstein took his own life and was not murdered, claiming video footage from a camera outside his cell confirmed no one entered that night. The memo then linked to the footage, and people were quick to notice that a full minute is missing between 11:58 pm and midnight. Related Rachel Maddow eviscerates Trump administration for lying about Jeffrey Epstein investigation Its not clear when they lied or which exact claim is untrue, but things are definitely not adding up. When asked about this, Bondi claimed the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) said that every night, the surveillance cameras reset, and thus the same minute should be missing each evening. She said they are looking for another video to release showing that a minute is missing every night. Insights for the LGBTQ+ community Subscribe to our briefing for insights into how politics impacts the LGBTQ+ community and more. Subscribe to our Newsletter today Im not a surveillance expert, Scarborough said, but they set up a system that has a minute missing every night? Ill tell you what were going to do, he mocked, I got this great new system were going to set up in the prison, because we want to make sure that nothing really, really bad happens. So this system is great, and its going to go all 24 hours, but like, like late at night when bad sh*t can really go down, what were going to do is, were going to have a minute missing so it can reset. Im curious, would you go to this surveillance company to set up your home security cameras? My understanding is, for 23 hours and 59 minutes, its the safest prison you could want, replied co-host Jonathan Lemire, adding that Bondis explanation defies reason. You know, that last minute, you take your chances, I guess and certainly it is remarkable on just the shift in tone here. Scarborough could not stop laughing as he pointed out the massive security issues BOP would have if every camera skipped the same minute every day. Since everybody knows that you have that minute that skips, I mean, thank God, thank God they know that because theyll make sure not to do anything bad during that minute when the film doesnt work Whos ever heard of a prison surveillance camera that was set up to not record the same minute every day?Lemire also discussed how the administrations sudden resolve to shut down conversations about the Epstein files is extremely contradictory to its previous messaging on the topic. Thats why were seeing a bit of infighting in Trump world, in MAGA land right now, because theyve been promised for so long to get the goods, he explained. Indeed, many of Donald Trumps supporters are angry that the memo stated there was no incriminating client listfollowing an exhaustive review and that no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted.Conspiracy theories regarding the existence of this client list have circulated for years. After taking office, the Trump administration fueled those rumors and even promised to release the list, along with other files from the Epstein investigation. In response, folks on social media have been sharing a clip of Bondi telling Fox News viewers that an Epstein client list was sitting on my desk to review.White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt spun the flip-flop to reporters on Monday, claiming that when Bondi said the client list was on her desk, she was saying the entirety of all of the paperwork, all of the paper in relation to Jeffrey Epsteins crimes.But the MAGA world, which has been obsessed with Epstein conspiracy theories, is not happy about this.
