It’s no secret that ABC pushes the gay agenda. But if you doubt it, wait until its newest miniseries comes out (pun intended).

Authored by openly gay screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, When We Rise will detail the history of the gay rights movement from the 1969 Stonewall Riots to the present day. It follows the stories of three people who are also members of the women’s rights movement, the peace movement and the black rights movement. “It's When We Rise, not When Gay People Rise,” Black told Adweek. “It's about how everyone benefits when we lift up any one group in this country.” If you think it will be a neutral examination of one of the biggest rights movement of our time, think again.

So much for believing you were straight.

According to HuffPost Live host Josh Zepps, “almost everyone” has the capacity to be attracted to the same sex at some point in life.

In a segment entitled “QueerView: Year in Review,” Zepps interviewed a lesbian woman, a gay man, HuffPost Live’s bisexual host Alex Berg and a man who is now living as a woman to hear their take on the milestones and issues defining the LGBT rights movement in 2015.

Each year, Christmastime is moving farther away from a celebration of peace, joy and love toward media-promoted consumerism, violence and debauchery. From movies, to music to television, many of the messages this year were far from heartwarming.

There’s no better way to celebrate Christmas than with sex, profanity and violence, right? Or so suggests one Netflix show about female prisoners.

In a new video released just in time for the holiday, the cast of Orange is the New Black created a special spoof of the classic poem “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.” Entitled “‘Twas a Night in Litchfield,” the video includes references to the inmates having sex in the bunks, robbing and roughing up St. Nick and finding porn from Santa.

If you could think of one thing on which the future of life on Earth depended, what would it be? Access to clean water? Sufficient supplies of energy? Those are important to be sure, but according to white Alternet author Frank Joyce, it’s “bringing the 500-year rampage of the white man to a halt.”

Have you heard about the Christmastime plight of atheists and humanists in the military? Apparently, they’re feeling marginalized.

During the GOP debates, Hillary was hitting it up with Hollywood celebs. 

At a fundraising event in talent manager Scooter Braun’s Los Angeles home, Clinton got together with Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Kris Jenner, Tom Hanks, Jessica Alba and other stars. The 225 supporters in attendance were required to contribute at least $2,700 to the Hillary for America fund. 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, this was the “third time Clinton had tapped Hollywood for funds since declaring her 2016 presidential candidacy.”

Liberal radio host and comedian D.L. Hughley got refreshingly frank on Thursday’s session of The View. 

After the ESPYs, the politically incorrect funnyman received backlash when he drew a comparison between Bruce Jenner and Mrs. Doubtfire. Hughley expressed indignation that people thought Jenner looked beautiful, while tennis star Serena Williams looked like a man.

Political analyst Kirsten Powers has some news for the Democratic Party: “It’s a baby!” 

Powers is well known for her political spectrum-spanning views. She’s for same-sex marriage, but supportive of religious freedom. She’s a liberal, but also a Fox News fixture. However, in her recent USA Today column, Powers was simply a woman horrified by “the grotesque human rights abuses against unborn children by Planned Parenthood.” 

“Democrats like to talk about the importance of being on the ‘right side of history,’” she wrote. But, in light of their reaction to the footage released by the Center for Medical Progress, Powers declared that they “have eschewed all concern for historical or moral rightness.”

On August 4, The View celebrity guest Kelly Osbourne made a big-time gaffe on air. In a discussion of Donald Trump and racism, Osbourne declared “If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?” 

Although her intentions were pure, Osbourne’s comment was met with big-time backlash, making her Tuesday’s “most hated person on the internet.” Yet, in the wake of the incident, co-host Nicolle Wallace, who was not present for Osbourne’s flub, had some thoughts to share.

Businessmen often get a bad rep in the news media, but that wasn’t the case in a Barron’s profile of a former CEO who now works to help former prisoners because of his Christian faith.

“Answering God’s Call,” was the cover story of the Barron’s weekly business newspaper on Aug. 3. The paper profiled former Wells Fargo CEO Danny Ludeman, who stepped down from his position of 15 years in order to focus on his faith.

As everyone knows, white conservative presidential candidates are the reason that Planned Parenthood exists. Wait, what?

On Tuesday’s Conan show, the host declared: “Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are teaming up to defund Planned Parenthood. Yeah. Experts believe it could backfire since people like Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are the reason there is a Planned Parenthood. That's the only problem.”

How dehumanized have abortion’s most rabid defenders become? This afternoon, abortion apologist Amanda Marcotte, a radical feminist writer for RawStory, made the ultimate in frivolous – not to mention idiotic – analogies. She tweeted: “Hating PPFA is, in this sense, no different that getting mad that someone uses food stamps to buy strawberries.” 

This, in the face of the latest video showing Planned Parenthood executives discussing selling aborted baby parts (and PP workers picking through fetal remains like butchers) is almost unimaginable moral obtuseness.

Gracing the cover of August’s Bloomberg Businessweek was a smiling, daisy-garlanded head of a billionaire tycoon that suggested he is a “feminist icon.”

That tycoon was the “Oracle of Omaha” and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway himself: Warren Buffett, a huge donor to birth control, and the abortion industry through his Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation.

The magazine devoted a four-page spread to the story of “how the billionaire’s family secretly funded a revolution in birth control.” But that isn’t all he has funded. Buffett has given more than $1 billion to abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood which is currently embroiled in scandal due to a series of shocking undercover videos. Bloomberg Businessweek complete ignored that scandal and barely touched on the extent of Buffett’s support for the group.

Sometimes, imitation is not the sincerest form of flattery.

“Once again, cultural appropriation is igniting a flurry of controversy,” wrote The Huffington Post’s Julee Wilson. The writer referred to a hair tutorial featured in the August issue of Allure: “You (Yes, You) Can Have An Afro*.” The asterisk beneath read: “*even if you have straight hair.”  

“It’s no surprise that the article, presumably aimed toward white women, is causing quite the commotion,” continued Wilson. “The Afro style in particular would have been an amazing opportunity to use a black actress, and yet there were no actresses of color used in the feature.”

July 31st marked The View’s 7th annual “Mutt Show.” And according to co-host Raven-Symoné, gay former boy-band star Lance Bass was the “perfect guest to have” because Bass and his “husband” have 3 dogs. 

“And they were your bridal party?” Symoné queried. (‘Wedding party’ might have been the better term, Raven, as there is no bride, but then again, weddings have historically required a bride as well...) “I was so excited that all my dogs could make it to the wedding,” Bass answered, “because my dream was to have my dogs walk down the isle.” Oh, goodness.

Cosmo loves to highlight women like The Daily Show co-creator Lizz Winstead: sex-obsessed, profane, offensive and unabashedly pro-abortion. 

In an article published July 30, the women’s magazine lauded Winstead for potentially sacrificing her career in order to be a “USO of reproductive rights, visiting clinics and boosting the morale of the ‘troops.’” After all, her “vocal advocacy for reproductive rights can make it more difficult to get mainstream work.” Yes, you read that correctly.
