Sexuality

Leave it to the show that is one step below pornography to promote the profit of porn. The latest episode of HBO’s The Deuce dives into the world of the porn industry, reminding us in more ways than one how exploitation still pays well.

The September 19 episode of American Horror Story: Cult took on such weighty issues as gun rights, racism, and cisnormative guinea pigs. The episode "Neighbors From Hell" picks up right where the last episode left off, with Ally (Sarah Paulson) having just accidentally shot and killed her wife's employee Pedro when he dropped by the house unexpectedly. In the aftermath, these weighty issues are…

There’s ESPN resident loudmouth Jemele Hill bashing President Donald Trump on Twitter as “a white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself w/ other white supremacists.” Don’t agree? Guess what? That means there’s something wrong with you.

As immediately documented by this writer on Twitter, the internet exploded on Friday when Fox Sports personality Clay Travis disgusted CNN Newsroom host Brooke Baldwin and former ESPN employee Keith Reed by suggesting during a segment on Jemele Hill that he “believe[s] in only two things completely, the First Amendment and boobs.”

On Wednesday’s CNN Tonight, host Don Lemon took the extraordinary step of conceding that Hillary Clinton made mistakes during the election that she won’t acknowledge, but it didn’t sit well with CNN political analyst and American Urban Radio Networks White House correspondent April Ryan as she vehemently defended Clinton. 

In its penultimate episode on September 13, The Sinner crossed the line again with a scene in which teen sisters Cora (Jessica Biel) and Phoebe (Nadia Alexander) kiss each other and Frankie (Eric Todd). Frankie and Phoebe then have sex on the couch while Jessica Biel gets intimate with her boyfriend J.D. (Jacob Pitts) and another man on the floor in the same room. From the series that brought us…

Amazon’s original series One Mississippi, which streamed its second season on September 8, focuses on a Los Angeles radio host, a lesbian named Tig (Tig Notaro), moving in with her family in Mississippi. The story follows semi-autobiographical scenarios based on comedienne Tig Notaro’s life, but the low hanging fruit of Trump-is-a-racist jokes, the modern day slavery remarks, and the jerkish…

The description of the newest HBO show The Deuce reads, “The story of the legalization and ensuing rise of the porn industry in New York beginning in the 1970s.” If a plot like that doesn’t make your stomach churn, get your supply of eye-bleach ready for what’s sadly up to be the latest hit show on HBO’s hands - because this story, along with HBO itself, is all too ready to remind us that sex…

During the season 16 premiere of Lifetime’s Project Runway, we were introduced to designer Aaron Myers who described himself as a "dude in a dress" who wants to create androgynous fashions because as he claimed, that is where fashion is heading.

Until this week, The Sinner was a wonderful break from the regular agenda-driven television that overwhelms all other options. With the September 6 episode, Part VI, they broke their streak, when the main character Cora (Jessica Biel) demonstrates what her boyfriend does to her on her younger sister Phoebe (Augie Murphy).

Former CNN personality Piers Morgan and co-host Susanna Reid hounded a Conservative member of the British Parliament on ITV's Good Morning Britain on Wednesday over his Catholic views on sexuality and abortion. The pair wouldn't accept Jacob Rees-Mogg's repeated affirmation that he "support(s) the teaching of the Catholic Church" on traditional marriage, and badgered him to explicitly say he…

Netflix’s hit series Narcos premiered its third season on September 1 and, after two seasons of a violent, semi-historical account of the war against drugs in Colombia in the 1980s and '90s, the show decided to go one step further by highlighting and focusing on infamous drug lord Pacho Herrara’s homosexual orientation. Because even in September 2017, critics still consider that “amazing to watch…

Once a woman-hating blowhard, always a woman-hating blowhard. Keith Olbermann, the "new" face of the Democratic resistance on Conde Nast's digital video platform, is the same old foul-mouthed beast he was on cable TV. Over the weekend, the former MSNBC frother went berserk over Trump Education Secretary Betsy DeVos's anodyne call for prayers "for all those in the path of #HurricaneHarvey" and her…

Freeform’s The Bold Type, which centers around three young women who work at fictional Scarlet magazine (based on real-life Cosmopolitan magazine), is one of the most left-leaning, not to mention inappropriate shows, on television right now. (Freeform was formerly ABC Family and The Bold Type has been dubbed a teen drama, despite its extremely adult content.)
