Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, & Their Kids Pay Respects at a Breonna Taylor Memorial in L.A.

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are joined by some of their kids while attending a memorial for the late Breonna Taylor on Friday afternoon (June 5) in downtown Los Angeles.

The longtime friends brought their kids to pay their respects on what would have been Breonna‘s 27th birthday. She was killed on March 13 when police entered her apartment unannounced and shot her eight times.

The officers were at the wrong address and looking for a suspect who had already been taken into custody. None of them have been fired or charged for Breonna‘s murder.

Before she was killed, Breonna was an award-winning EMT who had been working on the frontlines of COVID-19 and she had plans to become a nurse.

Ben, Matt, and the kids were clearly moved by Breonna‘s story and made sure to pay their respects in person. They all carried bouquets of flowers to place at the memorial.

Tinashe is opening up about what she experienced in being part of several Black Lives Matter protests over the past week.

The 27-year-old singer spoke with US Weekly, revealing that just speaking up on social media wasn’t enough for her and after the first day she attended a protest, she came back for more.

“I was just seeing everything that was happening, and posting on Instagram just didn’t feel like enough,” she shared. “I felt like, ‘What could I do to actually, physically put myself into this narrative?’ And so I went down, and that was the first day of protest. And ever since then, they’ve just gotten bigger and bigger and more unified. And it’s just really been amazing to see.”

Tinashe adds that personally, she hasn’t been seeing a lot of violence on her end.

“The environment that I felt that I was in while I was actually at the protest didn’t feel scary and it didn’t feel violent,” she says. “There were obviously moments where that really escalated. When the police would step in and use their unnecessary force, [but] that was really called out, which is amazing that we have the use of cellphones and we have all these ways to share that.”

“I think that that helped people really see that the protesters themselves weren’t the ones that were the agitators,” Tinashe said. “It was never a fear energy, it was never an energy of anger. It was always like, ‘We are here, we are one, we are brave, we’ll stand together.’”

“Lady G” has been trending on Twitter all day, but it has nothing to do with Lady Gaga.

It all started after gay adult film star Sean Harding tweeted this: “There is a homophobic republican senator who is no better than Trump who keeps passing legislation that is damaging to the lgbt and minority communities. Every sex worker I know has been hired by this man. Wondering if enough of us spoke out if that could get him out of office?”

Harding followed up the tweet by saying, “I cannot do this alone. If you’d be willing to stand with me against LG please let me know.”

The only senator with the initials LG is South Carolina’s Lindsey Graham, a Republican senator who has been in office since 2003 and is known for supporting anti-gay policies. Twitter has also associated his name with the trend, as seen in the screencap.

“Lady G” is reportedly the nickname that the senator is known by among sex workers.

Graham has not commented on the allegationsand there has not yet been any evidence presented to back up the claims. You can read what people are saying on Twitter below.
