More On Trump's Transgender Military Ban
Sometimes it's hard to parse this one. We know, for certain, that Trump supports a transgender ban in the military. That's a given. He tweeted that openly and it's always going to be out there in writing.
Friday (25 August) afternoon, Donald Trump issued a memorandum ordering the end of transgender military service effective in 2018.
In short, it sounds as if Trump wants proof that if there are trans people serving in the military they won't cause proble...

Where The Trump White House Stands On Transgender Military Ban
Here's an article that gives some information on where the Trump White House now stands on the transgender ban in the military that Mr. Trump Tweeted about not too long ago.
Other than the basic fact that we know, for certain, that Donald Trump tweeted about his transgender military ban for the entire world to read, the rest is still questionable.
The official wouldn’t say whether service members who had come out would be allowed to...

Suing For Straight Discrimination At the Cheesecake Factory
This one is a little unusual, but not totally. A straight guy who used to work at the Cheesecake Factory is suing them because he claims they allegedly allowed a gay employee to "touch him."
According to his lawsuit, a male co-worker grabbed Ross’ butt and crotch while he was working a shift in August 2016.
Here's the rest. It gets worse, and it gets into legalities that I don't like to comment on. The comments are worth reading, though...

Richard Simmons Sues Over Trans Comments
This is going to be an interesting case to follow because as far as I know, and from what I've always been led to believe, truth is an absolute defense in any defamation suit.
The National Enquirer claims Richard Simmons can’t sue it for claiming he’s transitioning because there’s no harm in saying someone is transgender. But the fitness guru counters that transphobia is alive and well in America—and he cites Donald Trump’s ban on trans service members a...

Sarah Paulson's Lesbian Character Loses Her Mind Over Trump
I'm not sure how I feel about this one. It's obvious I don't support Mr. Trump or the way he's treated LGBT people (especially trans people), but I didn't lose my mind when he got elected. I like to to think I'm a little tougher than that. But the truth is not everyone is that tough.
They are starting to release trailers for American Horror Story 7, and the latest involves a lesbian character played by Sarah Paulson who loses her...

A Dedicated Dick Pic Web Site
This might sound funny on the surface, and it might even sound like great karma for the pervs who send unsolicited dick pics, but if you look at it closely it's a bit scary. If they can do this with dick pics they can do this with anything.
A Swedish web designer came up with technology that can track an unsolicited dick pic right back to the person who sent it. And, he thinks it might be interesting to resend it to the person's family so they know what their famil...

Some VERY Horny Nuns; Why Straight Guys Joke About Gay Sex; Men Making Homemade POPPERS
Some VERY Horny Nuns
This is about a comedy, so it's not meant with any disrespect to nuns in the real world. I went to 12 years of Catholic school and I love the nuns. They are some of the most dedicated, honest, selfless people I have ever known.
The film The Little Hours knows, however, that the idea of horny nuns has a lot more potential for hilarity. It may be the funniest—and most overlooked—comedy of 2017.
There's more here.

Fired Google Employee Compares Being Conservative Today To Being Gay In the 50s
This guy who worked for Google penned a sexist letter and now he's complaining about diversity and comparing being gay in the 1950s to being conservative today. Like he could even begin to imagine what being gay in the 1950s was like. Even I can't do THAT. This is truly clueless at its best.
“I was simply trying to fix the culture in many ways. And really help a lot of people who are currently marginalized at Googl...

A Young Widow's Promise and the Confederate Soldiers She Buried In New Jersey
In a remote part of Salem County, in deep southern New Jersey, there's a place called Fort Mott. And next to Fort Mott there's a place called Finn's Point National Cemetery that has a confederate monument. Ironically, the biggest claim to fame is that Andrew Cunanan, the guy who murdered Versace, also murdered the caretaker at Fort Mott in the 90s while he was on the run. I'm familiar with these places because I grew...
