"When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw," he wrote."While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired."Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side.

He saved my life."Gonzales added that Joss "gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get", and that they were in the process of looking for a trailer after getting married on Valentine's Day."I was with him when he passed.

Sutton Foster's pal dishes on her relationship with Hugh Jackman after Deborra-Lee Furness broke 'secret agreement' with actor
Sutton Foster is 'happy' despite her boyfriend Hugh Jackman being accused of 'betrayal' by his estranged wife. On Sunday, the Broadway star, 50, made her first public appearance since Deborra-Lee Furness, 69, filed for divorce from Jackman. Walking the red carpet at the annual Drama Desk Awards in New York, Foster clearly wanted to avoid any personal talk and awkwardly dodged questions concerning her romance with the 56-year-old actor. However, Michael Urie, who played Foster's on-stage lover in Broadway production Once Upon a Mattress, gave details on the new relationship in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail. Urie, 44, said: 'I mean, she's my colleague and my friend, and I love her and I know that she's a really great person and she surrounds herself with really good people, like, all the time.' Directly addressing Foster's romance with Jackman, with whom she went public in January, Urie continued: 'I believe in her and I believe that she's happy.' When asked if he believes the pair are a good match, Urie said: 'They seem great. I love him. He's cool. He's very cool. He came around and saw the show.' Urie, who is in a relationship with Ryan Spahn, added that Foster and Jackman are so compatible that he thinks they should team up on Broadway. The actor said: 'I say they should do Much Ado About Nothing. That would be amazing. They would be amazing in that together.' The Shakespeare play is notably centered around two couples who fall in love despite the challenges put in front of them. Controversy started to swirl around Jackman when, in September 2023 he and Furness announced their separation after 27 years of marriage. Rumors soon followed that the actor had already jumped into a new relationship with his The Music Man co-star, Foster. At Sunday's awards ceremony, Foster had been nominated for Outstanding Lead Performance in a Musical for her role in Once Upon A Mattress, but she lost out to Jasmine Amy Rogers from Boop! The Musical and Audra McDonald from Gypsy. Urie continued: 'Playing her prince, getting to be a leading man is a complete dream. She made me better. Every night was different. We played, we were like kids, but I got to grow up before your eyes. It was a dream. I didn't want it to end.' When asked if the play could return, he added: 'Maybe! Who knows. I would do that show with [Foster] in a barn. I don't care where we go. I would go anywhere with her.' Foster is currently on a solo tour promoting her music while Jackman has his own solo show at Radio City Music Hall and is currently wrapping up his off-Broadway play, Sexual Misconduct Of The Middle Classes. On Friday, Jackman was spotted in public for the first time since Furness gave a blistering interview about her feelings of 'betrayal' to the Daily Mail. Despite the comments the actor seemed in high spirits and showed off a big smile as he signed autographs and took photos with fans. The appearance came two days after Furness opened up about her 'traumatic journey of betrayal' in the wake of her divorce filing last month. Furness said: 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' she said. 'It's a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.' She continued: 'This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose. 'It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.' She concluded her statement by adding the 'one thing' she has learned, which is 'that none of this is personal.' Jackman is yet to release his own statement on the split, but a source told the Daily Mail that he has been left 'extremely disappointed' by Furness's words as he believed they had an 'understanding' that they would not publicly trash one another. The insider said: 'There was no stipulation that she could not address this but there was an unwritten understanding that she would not trash him to the press. 'She got around this by not naming him - instead focusing on how she felt.'

Drinking coffee helps women age better, landmark 30-year study finds
Findings from new research three decades in the making suggest that women who drink coffee age better. Analysis of almost 50,000 women over 32 years has revealed that those who drank coffee in midlife were more likely to exhibit health ageing, and that it could help them stay sharp, strong and mentally well. The research, which was presented at the American Society for Nutrition's annual conference in Orlando, did not see the same link with healthy ageing with those who drank tea or decaffeinated coffee. 'While past studies have linked coffee to individual health outcomes, our study is the first to assess coffee's impact across multiple domains of aging over three decades,' Dr Sara Mahdavi, a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard University who led the research said. 'The findings suggest that caffeinated coffee—not tea or decaf—may uniquely support aging trajectories that preserve both mental and physical function.' The study included 47,513 women from the Nurses' Health Study, a large-scale American research scheme with dietary and health data. The participants were aged between 45 and 60 when they were enrolled in the research in 1984, which saw them complete surveys on their diet, health and lifestyle - including their caffeine intake - every four years. Healthy aging was defined as living to age 70 or older and being free from 11 major chronic diseases such as cancer or type 2 diabetes. It also included maintaining physical function, having good mental health, exhibiting no cognitive impairment and showing no memory complaints. By 2016, 3,706 of the women in the study met all the requirements for being considered healthy agers. In mid-life, these women typically consumed an average of 315 mg of caffeine per day — roughly the amount in three small cups of coffee by today's standards. More than 80 per cent of that caffeine came from regular coffee consumption. For women in the healthy agers group, each extra cup of coffee per day was tied to a 2 per cent to 5 per cent higher chance of doing well later in life. The findings presented were evaluated and selected by a committee of experts but are yet to appear in a peer-reviewed journal. The NHS advises people not to drink more than four cups of coffee a day, as it may increase your blood pressure. 'These results, while preliminary, suggest that small, consistent habits can shape long-term health,' said Dr Mahdavi. 'Moderate coffee intake may offer some protective benefits when combined with other healthy behaviours such as regular exercise, a healthy diet and avoiding smoking. 'While this study adds to prior evidence suggesting coffee intake may be linked with healthy aging, the benefits from coffee are relatively modest compared to the impact of overall healthy lifestyle habits and warrant further investigation.'
