Get this: Hollywood’s not gay enough! Having flooded entertainment TV with gay themes and characters, the gay inclusivity mafia is now demanding movies toe the line.
“Why can’t movies do as well as TV when it comes to LGBT characters?” Salon’s Scott Timberg lamented on June 29, just three days after the Supreme Court declared marriage (and the 14th Amendment) meaningless. Well, there’s always one more thing to whine about.
BREAKING: Elite lefty journalists residing on the coasts may not be representative of the population as a whole!
Well, New York Times education reporter Motoko Rich seems surprised by the news. She tweeted as much in response to an article highlighting the resurgence of maiden-name retention, or “how few women keep their names after marriage.”
Rich’s surprise, she tweeted, was “proof I live in a bubble.” [Cue millions of heads nodding in agreement.]
Jezebel called her “badass” and “inspiring.” Vogue deemed her a “heroine and lightning rod.” To Cosmo, she’s the “the talk of the nation.”
Yet, most of all, Maryland state attorney Marilyn Mosby is now known for being controversial. Last month, when she criminally charged six Baltimore police officers with the death of Freddie Gray, Vogue got it right: Mosby sent “ripples of both outrage and relief across the country.”
Megyn Kelly and Kevin Spacey have their eyes set on the White House.
The Fox News anchor and the House of Cards producer recently announced their plan to co-create a new presidential drama called The Resident. This will be Kelly’s first foray in the entertainment world, but Spacey’s fourth production set in the White House.
A comedian and a college student walk into a bar … but what follows had to be censored, since it wasn’t politically correct.
Comedian pokes fun at student’s arrogant letter to Jerry Seinfeld.
"The most important job that I have isn’t U.S. senator. It’s father," wrote Marco Rubio in an open letter to his daughters Amanda and Daniella. His words are part of TIME magazine's annual and touching compilation of "Letters from Dad," which features open letters of love and encouragement from famous men to their children. The project is published online in collaboration with Lean In, an organization “committed to offering women the ongoing inspiration and support” they need “to help them achieve their goals.”
“Letters from Dad” is a beautiful exploration of the uniquely special role of fathers, as well as a celebration of the father-child relationship. So here, in honor of Father’s Day, are some of the words of encouragement and advice from five famous conservative fathers who have contributed to the project.
This Father’s Day, Dove's marketing has come under the influence of the PC Police.
It’s unfortunate, as their Men+Care ad is sweet and heartwarming – and gay. On the plus side, it delivers wonderfully positive messages about men that are rarely told on TV. Dads have an important role, showing emotion is good, and fatherhood begins from conception. In the words of the ad itself, “Real strength means showing you care even from the very first moment.”
Celebration of fatherhood incomplete without gay parents.
According to Mindy Kaling, actors have “the world’s best job perk.” What is it? Being paid to have fake sex on screen, of course!
The star of the risqué and anti-Catholic show, The Mindy Project, revealed her views in a chapter entitled “I Love Sex Scenes” in her upcoming book.
So much for Stephen Colbert pretending he’s anything other than a die-hard liberal. Colbert welcomed businessman Donald Trump by lampooning his announcement speech from a trash can.
Colbert, who will replaced David Letterman on The Late Show in September, quickly created what The Huffington Post deemed a “comic gem” – a rather crude parody of Trump’s announcement speech.
Last Saturday, more than 150,000 people gathered in D.C. for the Capital Pride Parade — a celebration of all things LGBT. Sadly, for the first time in the event’s 40-year history, the Boy Scouts of America participated in the march. Banners were also carried by the D.C. Public Schools and Library, the police and branches of the U.S. Military, as well as an assortment of private sponsors.
You’ve probably heard about the latest story of someone claiming to be what she’s not. Last week, Rachel Dolezal – Spokane NAACP chapter president – was discovered not to be biracial black as she had claimed for years, but 100 percent white.
In light of recent events, the comparison between Dolezal and Bruce “Caitlyn” Jenner was inevitable.
‘If someone feels they’re this they have every right to pursue it.’
James Jordan is a former contestant on the BBC show “Strictly Come Dancing.” And, after criticizing show judge Craig Horwood’s intentions to open up the competition to same-sex couples, Jordan can probably count on remaining former.
In May, Horwood declared that “There are competitions throughout the world that have same sex couples – you just have to decide who goes backwards darling!” He continued to say that the change will occur “this year, or next year, but most certainly it will happen.”
This week, MSNBC dubbed him a “policing reform organizer.” Sean Hannity titled him a “professional protestor.” Kevin Jackson called him a “race pimp.” We’re talking about DeRay McKesson – a black activist who has taken Twitter by storm, railing against the racism he believes plagues American police forces.
But he has not only been active on social media. McKesson was also present at the scene in Ferguson, Baltimore, and most recently McKinney. On Tuesday, Hannity hosted him on Fox News and asked whether protesting was his “profession now.” And that’s where McKesson – and later Mediaite, Salon and Raw Story – got defensive.
Miley Cyrus tends to shock most people -- even the most progressive among us take note of her antics. From photographing herself topless under the covers, to which The Huffington Post responded “keep doing your thang, girl,” to her recent promotion of the “free the nipple” campaign, she has continued to garner media attention.
But her shock factor amplified on June 9, when Paper’s interview with the pop star was released. Besides the bizarre fully nude photos accompanying the article, Cyrus had some important views to communicate.
Left-on, you mean?
When it comes to the phrasing of a message, two words can make all the difference.
Last week, the CDC made a subtle change in the “Prevention Methods” section of its annual Sexually Transmitted Diseases Treatment report released June 5. Whereas abstinence had once been recommended as “a” reliable way to prevent the transmission of STDs, the report now calls it “the most” reliable way.
Bet you didn’t know there was a transgender “void” in the children’s literature market. Well there was, but we can relax. According to an article in The New York Times, transgender themes have now joined the line up of “difficult issues like suicide, drug abuse, rape and sex trafficking” as topics in children’s and young adult books.
It may come as a surprise that juvenile literature has not reflected the intensive celebration of transgender issues on TV. After all, in 2009 alone, over 40 pro-gay books were awarded by the American Library Association (ALA), so gender confusion couldn’t be far behind, right? Yet until recently, transgender themes have been rarely addressed by mainstream publishers. Now, that’s changing … just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse.
