a statement on the Metropolitan Police’s website read.“We recently announced the reinstatement of LGBT+ community liaison officers for each of our 12 BCUs in London to support and advise on investigations where homophobia is a motive, and to ensure the community has a dedicated point of contact to address any concerns they may have.”A post shared by The Two Brewers (@the2brewers)Taking to social media yesterday (August 15), one shared his recollection of the incident and explained how he has received extensive support from the LGBTQ+ community.“I’ve not been feeling sad, nor angry, or confused… I’ve just been left [with] so many questions… to think what can lead to changing a person’s mind that much that they can feel it’s OK to attack anyone.”“What today has strengthened in me, more than ever before, is that I could never, and have never, be prouder, happier, or more comforted, by the community I am lucky enough to have as my LGBTQ+ family,” he added. “I would NEVER change it for the world.
Christine Romans Exits CNN After Two-Decade Tenure
28.07.2023 - 15:13 / variety.com
Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor Christine Romans is getting ready for a new start after “Early Start.” The CNN veteran, who has been with the Warner Bros. Discovery network for 24 years as a business correspondent and early-morning anchor, is leaving for an as-yet unannounced role with another outlet, according to people familiar with the matter. She announced her exit on Friday’s broadcast of “Early Start,” the CNN crack-of-dawn program she has anchors since 2014.
“I’ve decided I’m ready for a new chapter,” Romans said Friday morning. People familiar with the network characterize the decision as the anchor’s own, and not part of any of the recent cost-cutting measures Warner Bros. Discovery has enacted in recent months.
Romans has deep roots at CNN, which she joined in 1999 after stints at newspapers and Reuters Television. She has been around CNN long enough to have worked as a correspondent on Lou Dobbs’ evening business-news program and to have appeared on the now defunct CNNfN, a business-news cable network meant to help the former Time Warner compete with CNBC. At CNN, Romans is viewed as a stalwart.
“She’s a rock,” said one person familiar with her tenure at the network. CNN is expected to keep “Early Start” on the schedule, but will use a rotating array of anchors until making a permanent decision about assigning talent to the show.
