Marchers in San Francisco's Gay Freedom Day parade carry a banner with a quote from Jimmy Carter on June 26, 1977. “They did not want a photo op with the president and these leaders,” Kirchick said, referring to the Carter administration. Bronski and other historians say that while Carter’s efforts to move the needle on gay rights may seem “small” by today’s standards, he planted the seeds for future presidents. ‘Jesus never said a word about homosexuality’Long after leaving the White House, Carter continued to vocally support gay Americans. And Carter — who taught Sunday school since he was 18 — used an atypical means of reason to justify his support: Christianity.

☆ Will Ferrell dressed as his 'Elf' character in the crowd of an NHL game

Will Ferrell caused a bit of a stir on Sunday when he attended the Philadelphia Flyers-Los Angeles Kings game in Los Angeles while dressed as Buddy the Elf from his hit 2003 movie “Elf.”Ferrell didn’t appear quite as wholesome as his alter ego was in the movie, though. He also looked a bit grizzled, perhaps from all the work he just wrapped up working as Santa’s helper. His presence at the Kings game was a gift for fans who were amused at the sight of a rundown looking Ferrell. Ferrell may have been a good luck charm for the Kings, too. The team rallied from a 4-2 deficit to win 5-4, the team’s seventh straight home victory.

Will Ferrell attended the Kings-Flyers game at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena Sunday dressed up as his iconic character from the beloved 2003 holiday movie “Elf,” and Buddy was looking a little worse for the wear this time. Buddy’s “disgruntled” look is because he had a “tough holiday season,” according to FanDuel Sports Network reporter Carrlyn Bathe, who spoke to Buddy at the game. “Elf” was directed by Jon Favreau and starred Ferrell, Zooey Deschanel, the late James Cann, Mary Steenbergen, Ed Asner, Peter Dinklage and Bob Newhart, among others.

This year, at least 52 people were killed in tornado outbreaks through November, according to preliminary figures from NOAA. Another surprise was 2024’s considerable uptick in the occurrence of strong tropical tornadoes — tornadoes produced in hurricanes. Of all recorded tornadoes produced by tropical systems that have made landfall in the U.S., less than 1% have been EF-3 or stronger. This year, four of the five hurricanes that made landfall in the U.S. produced tornadoes of EF-3 intensity. Given those lingering unknowns, teasing out any direct links between climate change and specific tornado outbreaks remains tricky.

LOS ANGELES — A California appeals court has overturned the rape conviction of former San Francisco 49er Dana Stubblefield after determining prosecutors made racially discriminatory statements during the Black man’s trial. The appeals court said prosecutors used “racially discriminatory language” that required them to overturn Stubblefield’s conviction. The case was “infected with tremendous error from the minute we started the trial,” said Stubblefield’s lead attorney, Kenneth Rosenfeld. She later received a text from Stubblefield saying he wanted to pay her for her time that day, and she went back to the house. By saying Stubblefield’s race was a factor in law enforcement’s decision not to search his house, prosecutors implied the house would’ve been searched and a gun found had Stubblefield not been Black, the appeals court said.
