This week’s “Bachelorette” had more twists and turns than an out-of-control roller coaster – and we couldn’t be happier (though now have whiplash).

Elliot Page, Academy Award-nominated star of “Juno,” has come out as transgender. “I love that I am trans. And I love that I am queer,” he wrote.

“Happiest Season” showed a poor example of what a healthy gay relationship and a healthy coming out story should look like onscreen.

This year’s Grammy nominations – like awards shows before it – show the Recording Academy still has inroads to make with diversity.

Patrick Dempsey, who played Dr. Derek “McDreamy” Shepherd “Grey’s Anatomy,” appeared at the end of the season premiere Thursday night.

My fellow Americans: We have a new “Bachelorette.” It’s probably not as pivotal to history as a new president, though some may argue otherwise.
