[NEWS] Five LGBTQ links: Saskatchewan, Wojnarowicz, Trump and Putin, Scott Thompson, Blued

[rfmcdonald]

• This history of LGBTQ life in Saskatchewan by Valerie Korinek sounds fascinating. Has anything been done in Atlantic Canada, I wonder? Global News reports.


• This Artsy editorial is quite right about the importance of David Wojnarowicz, artistically and politically. I own a copy of his Close to the Knives.


• There is, I have to conclude, at least some homophobia in the jokes about Trump and Putin being a couple. It's quite quite possible to be a straight homophobe, for starters. Vulture deconstructs the meme, here.


• Scott Thompson is a national treasure. Read this CBC Day 6 interview.


• CBC takes a look at the roaring success of China-oriented gay dating app Blued, with tens of millions of users.
