Episcopalians vote yes: At their general convention in Salt Lake City, Episcopalians voted to allow church weddings for same-sex couples. The weddings will begin in churches after Nov. 1.

Bill Cosby not charged: Comedian Bill Cosby, who has been accused of sexual assault by more than two dozen women, will not face charges in New Jersey on allegations brought by one of those women.  Lili Bernard, who met Cosby when she appeared on "The Cosby Show' in 1992, claimed Cosby drugged and assaulted her. Prosecutors in Atlantic City say they have ended their investigation into the claims and that no charges will be filed against Cosby.

Macy's dumps Trump: Macy's has announced that they are ending their relationship with Donald Trump over comments he made about Mexican immigrants. The company issued a statement that read in part, "We are disappointed and distressed by recent remarks about immigrants from Mexico. ... In light of statements made by Donald Trump, we have decided to discontinue our business relationship."
