[1/2] Kendall Allen holds a sign as she attends a vigil with her wife Kaycie Franks after a mass shooting at the Club Q LGBTQ nightclub, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, U.S., November 21, 2022. Those bars and other LGBT spaces around the country are again weighing how to keep their staff and patrons safe after a gunman killed five people and injured 17 more at an LGBT club in Colorado Springs. "It was definitely an eye-opening moment," said Eric Sosa, co-owner of C'mon Everybody and Good Judy in New York City. But as queer venues grapple with safety, several LGBT activists and club owners said no amount of security personnel or technology would protect them from the anti-LGBT rhetoric they blame for stoking such violence. Raimo still performs for adults, including a drag bingo night he was hosting on Tuesday at a Nashville gay bar.

Croatia finished top of their Nations League group ahead of world champions France and Denmark, and the 2018 runners-up will be riding a wave of momentum heading into the tournament. "However, there are other national teams that have such ambitions, the most important is the first match with Morocco.

New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge belted his 61st home run of the season in Toronto on Wednesday night, tying the American League record set by fellow pinstripe great Roger Maris. Judge has still very been productive in his homerless stretch, drawing 12 walks and scoring five runs as the Yankees went 6-1. Mark McGwire hit 70, then a record, in 1998 for the St. Louis Cardinals. Now Maris' name is linked to baseball's well-liked 2021 home run leader, Judge, 30, a native of Linden, California. Judge has been an elite home run hitter from his first full season in the Bronx, when he hit 52 homers in 2017.

Mandatory Credit: Dan Hamilton-USA TODAY SportsTORONTO, Sept 27 (Reuters) - The New York Yankees clinched top spot in the American League East with a 5-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday but Aaron Judge's pursuit of Roger Maris's home run record remained stalled on 60. But with eight games remaining in the regular season that pressure is being dialled up with each missed opportunity. The seven-game home run drought is the second longest of the season for Judge after a nine-game homerless stretch in mid-August. Tuesday's game marked just the second time in his career Judge had been issued four walks.

"You don't want to let the best guy on their team beat you," said Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman.

Sep 21, 2022; Bronx, New York, USA; New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge (99) hits a ground rule double against the Pittsburgh Pirates during the fifth inning at Yankee Stadium. So for the first time in a long while it appears all the stars are, for now, aligning in MLB's favor thanks to Judge and his mighty swing. "There's no real controversy around him, he's a matinee idol, good looking, great personality, liked around the league." Judge will get his next chance to draw level with Maris later on Thursday when New York open a four-game homestand against the Boston Red Sox. "It you remember those ads when McGwire and Sosa were battling it out - 'Chicks dig the long ball', well Major League Baseball executives dig the long ball too," said Dorfman.

Deși conform noilor reguli ale autorităților spaniole măștile nu mai sunt obligatorii de purtat în aer liber, ele sunt încă obligatorii în spații închise sau în spații aglomerate, acolo unde distanțarea nu este posibilă. Andrea Sosa, în vârstă de 20 de ani, chelneriță din Madrid, spune că va continua să poarte masca pentru că nu a reușit încă să se vaccineze. Jumătate din populația de 47 de milioane a Spaniei a fost deja vaccinată cu cel puțin o doză de vaccin anti-Covid. În jur de 3,7 milioane de oameni s-au infectat cu coronavirus în Spania, de la începutul pandemiei, iar 80.779 au murit din cauza Covid-19, conform datelor oficiale, scrie digi24.ro.
