Under the glare of LED strobe lights, drag queens Kaija Adonis and Axel Andrews stepped onstage Saturday night. Normally, the two would be entertaining at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub as they’d done for years. But the June 12 massacre changed all that, and now they were in Bloomington. A stretch of Kirkwood Avenue lay sectioned off beneath vendor tents and bright garland, and hundreds of attendees — mostly IU students — filled the main tent. Earlier in the day, PRIDE Summerfest drew an estimated 10,000 people into the heart of downtown for a day of festivities honoring the local LGBT community. While food trucks and inflatable bounce houses hummed with activity, carnival games led parents into dialogue as they watched their children compete. From the street

A passerby was collapsing from heat stroke in the 86-degree heat on Saturday when Bloomington Police Department officers found an EMT to help her at the PRIDE Summerfest. BPD officers set up a police booth at PRIDE Summerfest as a part of their community outreach and gave away police badge stickers, pens and, most importantly, cold water to anyone who was passing by the booth. The woman sat down and LGBT liaison officers Sgt. David Alley and Sgt. Dana Cole assisted while other officers went to find EMTs. The woman recovered and was doing fine when EMTs took her out of the heat. BPD’s original mission at the Summerfest was to talk about its new initiative with their liaisons and how it plans on bettering communication with the LGBT community and acting as leaders

MEN’S SOCCER

Thompson takes Hoosiers to victory, team starts 2-0 By Zain Pyarali pyarali@iu.edu | @ZainPyarali

Senior midfielder Tanner Thompson is already proving why he earned so many preseason accolades entering this season. Through the Hoosiers’ first two games, Thompson scored two gamewinning goals over New Mexico and

UC Irvine to give IU its first 2-0 start since 2012. The preseason All-American sealed the victory in dramatic fashion against New Mexico in the first game of the Mike Berticelli Memorial Tournament in South Bend, Indiana. After a scoreless match for the first 89 minutes, Thompson converted a penalty kick with just 30 seconds re-

maining in regulation to propel the Hoosiers past the Lobos, 1-0. “I thought New Mexico was a very excellent and mature team,” IU Coach Todd Yeagley said. “Our rhythm and attacking wasn’t great today, but I thought we battled and adjusted. I know offensively we will perform much better moving forward.”

The free kick in the final minute was a result of the Hoosier offense firmly attacking the New Mexico net and trying to avoid overtime. Freshman defender AJ Palazzolo ripped a shot that was blocked by a Lobo defender as junior defender Grant Lillard corralled the loose ball. SEE SOCCER, PAGE 6 to
