Donald Trump IS the next HITLER. He doesn’t support women’s basic health rights, wants to abolish their rights, believe in spreading hate and anti race messages, supports violence at his own rallies and hates Mexicans, Hispanics and anyone who isn’t like him. Wrong for AMERICA wrong for PRESIDENT. Just wrong.

Here’s my two cents on something that seems unimportant to most people the Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan situation. People are taking sides and “picking a team” but the reality is they are both adults and they are on a TV show. The executives that pay them care about their bottom line: profit. Ripa may be learning her feeling of staff and co-workers as “ family ” doesn’t really gel with the reality of a cutthroat business that really only cares about the numbers and profitability of their product. The people that want to paint Ripa as “female” and she shouldn’t have taken a sick day want to chastise someone who took one day extra off. In the “real world” meaning people who aren’t on TV, think about you and your co-workers. How many people have taken a sick day because they were hung over or had a sudden emergency. It happens all the time and no one is taking sides. Ripa is correct, there was a lack of respect here. She has been a long term employee and she is vested about her ...

Israel’s entrant to the Eurovision Song Contest said he was harassed by Russian border control officers while travelling to Moscow for a preview event, blaming the harassment on his being gay. The incident took place a couple weeks ago, but Hovi Star spoke about it on Friday during a television interview on Maltese television station TVM. “Maybe people in Moscow have a rough time with people like me, maybe because I’m gay, maybe because I dress like this, maybe because I wear make-up, I don’t know. But when I wanted to get into Moscow, I had problems with passport control. They told me I can’t go in, they looked at my passport, they ripped my passport and then they laughed at me,” he told the interviewers. Star’s song for the contest, “Made of Stars,” reportedly is popular in Malta. Following the Incident, Star was issued a new passport by the Israeli consulate in Moscow to replace the ripped one. The incident first became public when the Spanish contestant to Eurovis...

Harris Wofford is about the start a new chapter of his life. At the end of this month, the 90-year-old will marry a man 50 years younger. The ex-senator from Pennsylvania, special assistant to President John Kennedy, and adviser to Martin Luther King, wrote about his journey today, 24 April, in an op-ed piece for the  New York Times . The essay starts in 1996. Wofford is in the hospital room of his wife, Clare. She is dying from acute leukemia. The couple were married for 48 years, meeting during World War II. ‘For our three children and me, Clare was at the heart of our family,’ Wofford writes. ‘When I told her, “You’re my best friend,” she would reply, “and your best critic.” And when I said, “You’re my best critic,” she responded, “and your best friend.”’ ‘We were both about to turn 70 when she died,’ he continues. ‘I assumed that I was too old to seek or expect another romance. But five years later, standing on a beach in Fort Lauderdale, Florida., I sensed a creative...

Being a Jehovah's witness may have played into the under-treatment and neglect of needed treatment that could have prevented the death of Prince. Faith is all good and well but when it supersedes medical care it's questionable who really benefits. Even stranger still is a Church releasing a statement regarding a members passing... JEHOVAH’S WITNESS CHURCH RELEASES STATEMENT ABOUT PRINCE’S DEATH — PLUS A RETROSPECTIVE ON THE HISTORY BETWEEN THE CHURCH AND ITS MOST FAMOUS WITNESS The Jehovah’s Witness Church just released an official statement following the tragic death of Prince, who converted to the religion in 2003, as reported by People. “We are saddened to hear about the death of Prince Rogers Nelson, who was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in 2003,” a representative for the church told the publication. According to the spokesperson for the Jehovah’s Witness Church, Prince “found fulfillment as a Witness and in sharing his faith with others.” In their offic...

UK warns gay travellers about US anti-LGBT laws 21 April 2016   From the section US & Canada Image copyright AP Image caption Protesters called for governors of both states to repeal the laws The UK government has warned gay and transgender travellers to be careful in the US due to legislation in North Carolina and Mississippi. "The US is an extremely diverse society and attitudes toward LGBT people differ hugely across the country," a travel advisory from the UK reads. Newly passed laws in both states allow businesses to refuse service to LGBT people. The advisory comes from the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office. In North Carolina, legislation passed by Governor Pat McCrory invalidates previously passed legislation from Charlotte, that state's largest city, that enacted LGBT protections. His new law states that transgender people must use public bathrooms according to the gender on their birth certificates. Mississippi's law has a similar ...

APRIL 17, 2016   7:38pm PT by  Alyse Whitney Once Upon a Time  finally made good on its promise to include a gay storyline in season five, and it was an unexpected choice. Although Mulan (Jamie Chung) revealed her unrequited love for Princess Aurora (Sarah Bolger) in season three, she wasn’t the one in a new relationship in Sunday’s episode, “Ruby Slippers.” However, she did help make it happen. While Mulan is helping Ruby (Meghan Ory) find her wolf pack in Oz, they meet Dorothy (Teri Reeves) and help her try to take down Zelena (Rebecca Mader) when she steals Dorothy’s dog Toto. Ruby and Dorothy end up bonding over shared family problems, and Ruby turns to Mulan for advice about her feelings. “I know we just met, but I have never felt like this about anyone before,” she tells Mulan. “Don’t make the same mistake that I did. Don’t wait until it’s too late to tell someone how you feel,” Mulan replies, but by the time Ruby goes to do so, Dorothy is gone. REA...

Pastor Jordan Brown says he found an anti-gay slur on the cake he bought from Whole Foods for a congregation member. (Kaplan Law Firm) AUSTIN, Texas – A Texas pastor is suing Whole Foods after he says a bakery worker added an anti-gay slur to the message he requested on his frosted cake. Brown, who is openly gay and preaches at the non-denominational  Church of Open Doors , went to the flagship Whole Foods in Austin, Texas to buy a cake for one of his congregation members, according to a lawsuit filed in Travis County court. The pastor says he pointed to a blank, pre-frosted cake and asked the bakery worker to write “Love Wins” on the frosting. It was not until he walked out of the N. Lamar Blvd. store, got into his car and looked down at the cake that he saw written in blue icing, “Love Wins F**,” according to the suit. After leaving a voicemail with the corporate office that he says wasn’t returned, Jordan called the store, his lawyers say. Team Leader Geoff Nunez was...

Director Justin Kelly‘s true-crime tale doesn’t let the explicit gay sex get in the way of dark humor and fascinating characters Movies don’t get much juicier, funnier, creepier, sadder, or smarter than writer-director  Justin Kelly ‘s “King Cobra,” which dramatizes a real-life murder case set in the world of gay porn. Kelly’s work is outstanding, as he manages to control the most seemingly uncontrollable material while exploring many different facets of the case. “King Cobra” is as in-your-face explicit a gay movie as has ever been made with recognizable male actors (including  Christian Slater  and producer  James Franco ), who predictably takes the lion’s share of the most physical sex scenes. Kelly (“I Am Michael”) sets up two separate stories and cuts back and forth between them until they finally collide, with tragic results. We see young Sean Lockhart (Garrett Clayton, “The Fosters”) meet up with cultured, melancholy gay porn film producer Stephen (S...

CHRIS KEANE/REUTERS Under attack for signing the controversial anti-LGBT law known as HB2, North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory (R) said Sunday that a gay rights advocacy group is more powerful than the National Rifle Association. “The Human Rights Council. My gosh, they’re more powerful than the NRA,” McCrory told Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” alluding to the nation’s premier gun lobby. “And they have millions of dollars, which makes me want to overturn [Citizens] United, because I don’t know who their donors are, either. But they are putting on a lot of pressure, instead of having good dialogue.” Despite the group’s power, McCrory didn’t have its name right; it appears he was alluding to the Human Rights Campaign, which lobbies on civil rights for the LGBT community. The group has been a leading critic of the new law. McCrory has been  battered politically  for approving HB2, better known as the Charlotte bathroom bill. The law requires that transgender people...

RUDE and CHRISTIAN... funny how the judgement of "religious" folk goes against everything Jesus was about. The walls of hell will be lined with the judgement of the "christian" with that huge log in their own eye. - m.t. Gay waitress Alexandra Judd was left a Bible verse as a tip earlier this week. A gay waitress in North Carolina received a Bible lecture — instead of a tip — from a diner earlier this week. Alexandra Judd was shocked to see "lev 20.13," short for Leviticus 20:13, where the gratuity should have been while serving brunch at Zada Jane's Corner Cafe in Charlotte on Tuesday. The receipt also included the words "praying for you." KING: AMERICA HAS ENTERED INTO NEW ERA OF HATE  The King James Bible version of Leviticus 20:13 reads: "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
