Dove also recalled, 'I went on Instagram Live and said, 'Guys, I really needed to explain something to you. Maybe I haven't said it, but I'm super queer. This is something I want to represent through my music because it's who I am.''

'I had to basically go on Instagram Live at the time and be like, 'Guys, I'm not queerbaiting, I am queer. And I just wanted more fucking representation in the fucking cartoon. And the emoji was just hinting at the music video!'' she said.

Dove also said, 'I had a feeling that people were going to say I wasn't queer enough … I didn't really have an issue being second-guessed, because I truly was like, 'I know what I am.''
Dove went on to call out the 'weird' and 'discriminatory' attitudes people can have toward those who haven't publicly disclosed their sexuality. 'Even within the queer community, people are very heavy on labels; you have to define yourself, you have to know what it is, you have to show us proof,' she said.
'If we have that issue within the community, we have quite a ways to go before we're not feeling that from the world,' she added.

Mom-to-be roasted for naming her daughter after tragic event that shocked the world: ‘Felt like getting punched in the face'
Strange, unique, and eccentric names have come back into fashion for new parents, with monikers ranging from bizarrely-lettered variants to the Millennial-led dog names for babies trend — see short, cutesy names like Max, Sadie, and Bear, as prime examples. However, one parent-to-be took these trends to the next level and paid the price: relentless mocking on the Internet. A friend of the parent in question was sent a seemingly innocent baby shower invitation, but after closer inspection, noticed the name, Chernobyl Hope, was especially unique — or, as the Internet dubbed it after the friend posted the invitation to Reddit, 'ridiculous' and 'offensive.' Advertisement 3 Redditors were so shocked by this invitation, as seen in the post, that dozens of users accused the original poster of being a bot or AI-generating this wild story. kittysogood / Reddit It appeared as if the parents were unaware of the 1986 nuclear disaster in Chernobyl, Ukraine. The recipient of this unconventional baby shower invitation posted it to the subreddit r/tragedeigh, where aggrieved Internet users come together to poke fun at unfortunate, offensive, and just plain crazy baby names, particularly where unconventional spelling is involved — hence the Millennial-core 'deigh' epithet. Advertisement Many replies said they were so uncomfortable with this baby name, they had no choice but to turn to humor to cope. 'I'm sure everyone at the celebration will be radiant,' one user commented facetiously, prompting the reply: 'Speak for yourself. If I were a guest at that shower and heard that name, I'd have a total meltdown.' 'I guess it's a nuclear family,' another user quipped. 'Honestly, if it didn't have the connotation of being a nuclear disaster, it would be a pretty name,' rationalized one commenter, while another quipped: 'Extra points for having the invitation feature an elephant's foot.' Advertisement Wedged between comments making jokes at this family's expense and users expressing outrage at the name was the only other detail — or semblance of an explanation — the original poster left behind: 'I have a feeling they don't know what Chernobyl meant. I asked them where they got the idea from, and said it just sounded nice,' they explained. 3 Another user shared that they have a co-worker named Chernobyl, and added that, understandably, she goes by Che. Getty Images Overwhelmingly, users reacted to the wild post with distaste. The Chernobyl explosion occurred in a nuclear power plant located in a town (now recognized as being in Ukraine) of the same name, and remains the worst nuclear accident in human history. 31 people died immediately as a result of the incident, per the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), but varying studies have produced long-term death tolls ranging into hundreds of thousands of premature deaths as a result of radiation exposure. Advertisement 'I haven't ever met another person (aside from a cousin) who has been affected by Chernobyl. I was born sick due to it because my mother was pregnant with me and in the area when it occurred,' shared a commenter. 'It has made my life… not fun. Being profoundly disabled at age 37 due to human error… And an error that never offered compensation for all of us who had their lives ruined by it,' the enraged Redditor continued. 'What a legacy. Naming someone after something that has left people with cancer, going through 30+ surgeries just to stay alive, and losing their quality of life. I'm just appalled. Repulsed.' Many commenters also offered the original poster advice for dealing with the profoundly awkward situation. 3 'Why would you do this to a kid?' wondered dozens of commenters. Wavebreak Media – 'Even if you think your relationship with them will sour, at least for the baby's sake, you need to talk to them and suggest they change the name and explain to them what this means, all politely, of course. If they say they will still continue with the name, you can smile and give a thumbs up.' 'Absolutely remove these people from your life,' recommended another blunt reply. Obscene and ignorant as this name choice may be, in many countries, it's not necessarily illegal. Advertisement In the United States, birth certificate laws and regulations vary by state, but even still, most prohibited names have been disallowed for administrative purposes — monikers in excess of 140 characters and those containing numbers are prime examples. Some states have outlawed names like Jesus Christ and Santa Claus, but as of now, baby Chernobyl Hope is more than fine the government's eyes.

One of Frank Lloyd Wright's earliest homes — and the only of its kind in Indiana — has listed for sale
A quintessential Frank Lloyd Wright home is on sale for $1.17 million in Indiana. The four-bedroom family home in South Bend is hailed as 'a true architectural treasure' and 'the only true Prairie residence in the state,' in the listing, first reported by The nearly 3,000-square-foot construction, completed in 1906, was an early work for Wright, who remains one of the most respected architects in history. It received his hands-on attention throughout its development, according to agent Steve Bizzaro, who co-listed the property with Gabrielle Iams. 11 The front of the roughly 3,000-square-foot South Bend home.

The home, the first Wright property built in Indiana, bears all of the hallmarks of his signature style — bold horizontal lines, overhanging eaves, ample built-ins, an open floor plan and natural materials. 'With 65 original art glass windows, custom built-ins, and period lighting, the home showcases Wright's signature harmony between architecture and artistry,' Bizzaro added. 11 The home has terraces on the front and back.

Getty Images Its former inhabitants, Suzanne and Tom Miller, took up residence in 1978 and undertook a painstaking restoration of the property, reported. The Millers restored each of the home's 65 windows, and stripped and repainted extensive amounts of woodwork. The couple earned a posthumous Wright Spirit Award for their efforts in 2021. The current owners added their own touches, as well, like bathroom and kitchen upgrades, air conditioning and a driveway with an electrical vehicle charger.
