As with Pride events last month, this bears repeating: the anti-gay and active normalization of hate by politicians in certain parts of the country and on social media, has made everything reflecting LGBTQ culture in 2023 more significant and vital. Outfest Los Angeles LGBTQ+ Film Festival, now in its 41st year, begins this week and it is no exception. There is strength in numbers and Outfest’s packed 11 days of programming serves as an important counter to the bigotry that some seek to sow in our country.In June, important events like this can get lost in the rainbow-hued happenings, so it’s nice that this event happens later. Queer creators, story-tellers and allies in entertainment are showcased in 23 venues across Los Angeles, and it’s all headquartered in the Directors Guild of America in West Hollywood. (At press time, SAG-AFTRA announced its strike alongside the WGA, so check the event’s social media for updates as to how it might affect the schedule).As of now, Outfest Los ...Rare do-over in California Capitol revives bill to toughen child sex-trafficking penalties

A bill that would declare child sex-trafficking a serious felony and toughen sentences for the crime would seem like an easy sell to most politicians. But not in Sacramento this week.California’s ruling Democrats have been working for years to reduce criminal penalties under the banner of social justice, hearkening to reformers who say the criminal justice system is stacked against the poor and racial minorities. On Wednesday, however, some Democratic lawmakers went a step too far for Gov. Gavin Newsom and newly named Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas.After six Democrats refused to vote the Republican child sex trafficking bill, SB 14, out of the Assembly Public Safety Committee, Newsom and Rivas intervened, and on Thursday, under pressure, the committee changed course and revived the bill.It was a rare rebuke from a governor with presidential aspirations and a signal that Democratic leaders in California must be wary about being labeled as “soft on crime.”“This ...Man arrested after trying to steal catalytic converter in Walnut Creek: police
