Maine congressional candidate Jordan Wood marked the start of Pride Month (1 June) by sharing footage of a tense town hall exchange in which an attendee called him a “f*ggocrat” while arguing about election fraud claims. The out gay Democrat said the incident reinforced his belief that “democracy demands” showing up, engaging with difficult conversations, and refusing to back down in the face of hostility. The confrontation took place at a March town hall meeting when a voter challenged Wood over unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud. After Wood pushed back on the allegations, the man became increasingly agitated and launched into a personal attack before storming out of the event. As attendees voiced support for Wood, he apologised for the disruption and reminded the audience that the town hall was open to everyone and that questions were not screened in advance. Rather than ending the interaction there, members of Wood’s campaign team followed the man outside and continued speaking with him in the parking lot. “They de-escalated the situation. They stood in the parking lot for 15 minutes and talked to this man about Social Security, his dogs, and listened as he brought up his family’s ties to the KKK,” Wood wrote in a Facebook post regarding the incident. “After a while, he apologised to them, and somewhat to me,” he continued. Reflecting on the encounter, Wood said the same courage required to stand up to hatred and misinformation is the courage that has long defined LGBTQ+ movements. “I’ll keep showing up in every corner of Maine’s 2nd district,” he wrote. “I’ll keep taking every question from every person who walks through the door. I’m not intimidated and I’ll never back down from a fight.”

Tim Burton on why he chose to make 'Ed Wood' (1994): "Interviewer: Why did you chose Ed Wood as a character? Burton: The first film by him that I saw was 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' (1958). It had images I never forgot. Later he was elected ‘worst director of all time.’ How can someone be elected as the worst? There are so many bad filmmakers. I started reading about his life and about the bizarre characters that surrounded him, like Bela Lugosi. Wood was always positive, even in the worst circumstances. When you read his letters, you realize he thought he was making great films, he thought he was making 'Citizen Kane' (1941). In a letter from his final days, Wood wrote that he led a great life and made great pictures and in fact, he was abandoned and dying of alcoholism. That’s what fascinates me about that character. He was very weird. I think it would be easy to copy an image by Alfred Hitchcock, not with his mastery, but it is possible to imitate it. But copying an image by Ed Wood is so hard. His images were very weird. You don’t know how he did them. Wood was something more special than just bad (laughs). Interviewer: How decisive was the character of Bela Lugosi, since you had already celebrated another horror myth before, Vincent Price. Burton: Vincent was fundamental to my decision of making films. There was a resemblance between them, but the differences are striking. Vincent had a much more positive end. Bela got old taking morphine and drinking formaldehyde. Vincent was much less bitter about Hollywood. Interviewer: The film would initially be in color. Why did it turn out to be black and white? Burton: When we began doing the makeup tests with Martin Landau, me and makeup artist Rick Baker asked ourselves: what was the color of Bela Lugosi’s eyes? I never saw him and no one’s ever seen color images of Lugosi. Him, Vampira, Thor Johnson are black and white icons. It was such a simple decision, without any aesthetic pretension. It just seemed right. Interviewer: Filming in black and white doesn’t bring difficulties in Hollywood today? Burton: It is difficult, even if you’re fortunate and successful. It’s difficult to put up any project. I always thought it would become easier. I was wrong."
