Another exciting and fabulous news for the whole LGBT community around the globe. OUT Magazine, our favorite bible (Vogue came on top of the list, of course!) on gay issues, fashion and lifestyle revealed their covers for the 20th anniversary issue. And boy, it is as powerful as the annual Best-Dressed list of Vanity Fair, with less royalty (unless Prince Harry came out as gay, BUT NHO!!!)  and more on Ellen Degeneres folks, but equally as gorgeous!

And i quote:

“In our yearly portfolio, we capture the year’s most entertaining, heroic, and compelling people, from all walks of life—including professional athletes, trans pioneers, actors, activists, designers, journalists, emerging musicians, artists, and dancers. For our special 20th anniversary OUT100, “On the Shoulders of Giants,” all of the subjects reference pivotal moments in LGBT history.”

The Advocate named Vladimir Putin as Person of the Year.

The Advocate garnered media buzz (and billions of Catholic gay followers)  last year for hailing Pope Francis its Person of the Year, a move that created heated arguments among the most astute members of the Catholic Church and LGBT community. This year, however, one can only imagine if the magazine is just trolling us by entering the gates of hell, and Vladimir Putin acting as Hades, but saved by the title “Person of the Year”. Luckily for him, Adolf Hitler is unavailable at the moment!

The headline reads, “Driving the governmental, religious, and popular disdain for gays and lesbians, the Russian president became the single greatest threat to LGBTs in the world in 2014.”

The criteria for choosing the Person of the Year is being that special person who was “most influential on LGBT lives during 2014.” The other nine finalists are well-known celebrities who became icons and had shown social tolerance and respect for the flight of gay men and women everywhere.These includes Neil Patrick Harris, Laverne Cox, Robin Roberts, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page,  with one congregation–the United Church of Christ–as the stand-in for marriage equality.

Vladimir Putin is just one big troll.

“Imagine a boy who dreams of being a KGB officer
when everyone else wants to be a cosmonaut.”

He said: ‘If hearing that the CEO of Apple is gay can help someone struggling to come to terms with who he or she is, or bring comfort to anyone who feels alone, or inspire people to insist on their equality, then it’s worth the trade-off with my own privacy.’

He said Apple had long advocated for human rights and equality.

The chief executive also advocated for LGBT rights (LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSGENDER) in his homestate of Alabama.

Jennifer Lawrence sat down with Vanity Fair and spoke candidly about the nude photos of her that were stolen and published online this past summer.  Private images of celebrities including Kate Upton, Rihanna, Cara Delevingne  and others were widely distributed on the internet last month in the largest celebrity hacking scandal in history.

Speaking for the first about the photo hacking scandal (courtesy of failed iCloud app from Apple) she never minced a word and showed her disgust over the scandal and called it ” a sex crime”.

The Oscar-winning actress spoke about the legal outcome of the hack. She recently hired top entertainment lawyer Martin Singer, who has written to Google demanding that the company pay for its “blatantly unethical behaviour”. His Los Angeles-based firm Lavely & Singer represents more than a dozen of the women affected.

The October issue of Vanity Fair (with Lawrence on the cover, photographed by Patrick Demarchelier) arrives on newsstands Thursday.

John Galliano resurrected and is back from fashion grave!

John Galliano is back! After 3 years of disappearing from the confines of fashion weeks (thanks to his anti-semitic outbursts that got him fired from DIOR in 2011) the flamboyant designer has finally landed a job. He just recently named as the new creative director of Maison Martin Margiela, a Paris-based fashion house.

“John Galliano is one of the greatest, undisputed talents of all time — a unique, exceptional couturier for a maison that always challenged and innovated the world of fashion,” Renzo Rosso, president of OTB (Only The Brave), which controls Margiela, told Womens Wear Daily. “I look forward to his return to create that fashion dream that only he can create, and wish him to find his new home here.”

Martin Margiela, founder of the brand, left the fashion house in 2009 and kept a very low profile, rarely giving interviews. He preferred to do so in writing, and he would generally sign Maison Martin Margiela as opposed to his own name.

Galliano is expected to show his first collection for the brand  in January for Haute Couture week in Paris.
