A Trans journalist was Dehumanized at the Xbox One Event at Eurogamer Expo 2013
Mess in the morning.
A Trans journalist, Laura Kate Dale, was completely dehumanized by some low-rent comedian during an Xbox One Event at Eurogamer Expo 2013. The comedian's name is Fraser Millward and he's an ass. He kept making horrid jokes about her look and gender, saying things like: "he," "it," "thing" and "this one"
 |
| The ass |
Laura took the matter to Twitter, but was met by more ignorant and stupid statements. At this time, Eurogamer Expo is investigating the incident. Fraser was hired by Microsoft to entertain, instead he just revealed how insensitive and messy he really is.
I hope Laura can move pass this mess. As geeks and gamers, we have to do better.

I'm calling Poppycock on the latest 'Wonder Woman in the Man of Steel sequel' Story
Bleeding Cool posted a HUGE rumor this past week.
They asked if the mystery casting of a woman in the next Man of Steel film is Wonder Woman? When I saw the post... I laughed.
In the midst of Comic Book movie gossip, of course, talking about Wonder Woman is gold. But this post was clearly pushing the gossip wagon. However, some folks took it as fact, including totally believing this story and even claiming how real it is.
But seriously... It's such a vague ass rumor, (sorry for being bitchy) that you have to be a little daft to believe it.
If you read the BC post, you can easily see it for what it is. However, if you can't, I will break it down for you.
Let's start with some of their statements:
I’ve learned today that they’re looking for a new female lead, but the information they’re giving is incredibly light.
I can tell you that she’ll be somewhere between twenty five and thirty three – or at least leave the impression of a woman in that age range, whatever that might be.Okay, that part was truly all you need to know. This is a random casting call. WW is not a random casting call. If they were casting her, trust, they wouldn't have put out a random call for her. They know WW is a big role and a big deal, I'm sure they have someone in mind IF, she's in the movie. Again, I express IF.
I can tell you that she needs to be physically strong. They’re specific about that.
Another one:
And I can tell you that the discussion in some agencies who have been submitting actors for this role is that they’re sending up candidates for the role of Wonder Woman. They don’t know that it’s her, it’s just become their expectation, or at least a rumor that’s coloured their conception.Chile, they been sending actresses up to the main office since it was announced months ago that a Justice League film will be made. These agencies are desperately trying to get their actresses in the mix. It's their job.
Also, this same type of rumor came up during the first Man of Steel film. Folks thought that WW was in that one too, but turned out to be Faora-Ul.
Bleeding Cool was just asking a question and trying to figure something out. But in no way this was proof that Diana is about to make her debut.
I could be wrong, but I have a feeling I'm not.

Marriage Equality is in New Jersey
Wow!
What a Friday!
couples in New Jersey will soon be able to marry.
Judge Mary Jacobson of the Mercer County Superior Court ruled that gay couples can get married in New Jersey starting October 21.
The judge said:
The judge said:
"This unequal treatment requires that New Jersey extend civil marriage to same-sex couples to satisfy equal protection guarantees of the New Jersey Constitution as interpreted by the New Jersey Supreme Court in Lewis. Same-sex couples must be allowed to marry in order to obtain equal protection of the law under the New Jersey Constitution."This is big stuff!
Jamie Lee Curtis attached to a new Horror Drama
This sounds sublime!
Deadline reports that ABC Family may present a horror series starring the scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis and directed by Friday the 13th's Steve Miner.
The spec-script is called The Final Girls.
This is premise:
the drama revolves around a group of girls who have, in essence, survived their own personal horror stories and are brought together by a mysterious older woman (Curtis) to channel the stress and scars of their experience for some greater good.Sounds interesting, I will be into it.
A Trans Woman was murdered in New Jersey
We have lost another family member. 26-year-old, Eyricka Morgan was murdered in New Brunswick, N.J. She was allegedly stabbed to death by Devonte Scott. He was arrested and is currently held in jail on a million bond.
Eyricka was known to be a vibrant person. She was a former student at Rutgers University and involved in social justice issues. She very open about her experiences and active with queer women of color in the area.
We have to stop losing our trans sisters this way.
She will be missed.

Interesting Quote: Jean-Claude Killy, chairman of the IOC Coordination Commission
"The Olympic Charter states that all segregation is completely prohibited, whether it be on the grounds of race, religion, color or other, on the Olympic territory. That will be the case, we are convinced. Another thing I must add: the IOC doesn't really have the right to discuss the laws in the country where the Olympic Games are organized. As long as the Olympic Charter is respected, we are satisfied, and that is the case."Speaking for the IOC, he feels that Russia's Anti-Gay Law doesn't violate Olympic charter

I have no respect for adoption by gay families because this concerns a person who is not able to choose."I guess we ain't buying Barilla anymore.

Colorado's Sen. Kent Lambert: Democrats Use 'Mind Control' to push Gay Marriage in the State
This man's an idiot and somehow, he's elected into office in Colorado.
Today's statement from him takes the cake
He actually said this:
In Colorado we have a Constitutional prohibition against homosexual marriage, however (the civil unions) law turned that Constitutional provision on its head. There are no wavers or provisions for any contrary thought, whether it's religion or just people's expression of their own morality. It completely suppresses basically any ideas. It's a mind control experiment by the majority party, the Democrats, here in Colorado to force everybody, including children in schools, everything else, under penalty of law to believe in homosexual marriage.

Top United Nations officials believe that the HIV/AIDS epidemic could be over by 2030, due to the advancements in medication and prevention
.
Luis Loures, a deputy executive director of UNAIDS, said this:
"I think that 2030 is a viable target to say that we have reached the end of the epidemic. HIV will continue existing as a case here or there but not at the epidemic level we have today.”UNAIDS reports that new infections has fallen 20% over the past decade, and in 25 countries, by 50%.
Over the past two years, the number of people who are receiving treatment has increased 60%.

My Two Cents on this Unnecessary Anger over the HRC's Executive Pay
A few days ago the salaries of the exec board of the HRC came out.
The President Chad Griffin made over 300K, more than the previous president, Joe Solmonese. Well, within seconds, some of the gay activists went batcrap crazy and demanded for the head of Chad.
Yes, that was dramatic, but I'm just mirroring some of the foolishness surrounding this hateration. From a few blogs, some folks said the HRC wasn't doing this, wasn't doing that. Then, they talked about why the HRC didn't do something about ENDA and some more mess.
To be honest, the reasons for their anger was based off of assumptions and speculations. Nothing reasonable or concrete. Their anger over the HRC goes back some years. And while some of it is understandable, a lot of it is foolishness.
Now, I'm not a member of the HRC, nor do I donate to them, but this sorority girl hate some activists have about them is getting old and silly. They're not perfect, but they never claimed to be the end all, be all. If anything, they're trying achieve the same goal as the rest of us are. They just have more money to play with and powerful people in their sand box. If that's the reason why some activists are mad, then quit now, because it will always be like this. The execs will continue to make money and the HRC will keep moving on.
This type of misguided anger does no one any good, so let it go and find real reasons to be upset.
Interesting Quote: Maggie Gallagher
My case against same-sex marriage was always entirely secular. I believe we need a social institution that is about directing the passions of men and women attracted to the opposite sex -- 98 percent of people -- so that our sexual acts do not hurt the children our bodies create in passion. To me, that's the heart of "civil marriage" and the explanation for why the government is involved.
I don't see that changing. I hope I am wrong that gay marriage will change that as the public idea of marriage, but the evidence is pretty strong that I am right: It is very hard to see two men as a marriage, and still see marriage as integrally involved in procreation and family structure.
Would love for you to prove me wrong. I would love nothing more than to be wrong about this.

Interesting Quote: Stephen King
“I read Twilight and didn’t feel any urge to go on with her. I read The Hunger Games and didn’t feel an urge to go on. It’s not unlike The Running Man, which is about a game where people are actually killed and people are watching: a satire on reality TV. I read Fifty Shades Of Grey and felt no urge to go on. They call it mommy porn, but it’s not really mommy porn. It is highly charged, sexually driven fiction for women who are, say, between 18 and 25. But a golden age of horror? I wouldn’t say it is. I can’t think of any books right now that would be comparable to The Exorcist.”source

Guess who voted to Defund Obamacare?
The House GOP are on a roll with this foolishness. For some reason, they truly believe they can stop Obamacare, really, they have this fantastic idea that they alone can stop Obamacare.
And how they plan to do it? By passing this ridic bill, hoping to force the Dems to defund Obamacare or the government shuts down.
The House voted 230 to 189 to pass this mess and this makes the 400000 time they have tried this? FAIL across the board. Pure fail.
US Investigations Services Vetted and Approved Edward Snowden and Aaron Alexis
So, how do you know when your company needs a review?
When you approved a traitor and a killer for a job.
US Investigations Services is company who vetted and approved Edward Snowden and Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis for jobs. Interesting, right?
Now, I guess they can't be blamed for the aftermath, but when the USIS kinda denied their handling of Aaron Alexis' file... You can't help but to think something is wrong here.
And it doesn't help that the USIS is under criminal investigation on whether they lied to the government about the thoroughness of its background checks. I hope they have some good lawyers, because it could be some smoke in the city as this all unfolds.

Pope Francis speaks about Homosexuality: Church shouldn't 'interfere' with Gays
In a recent interview, Pope Francis had a lot to say about gays, abortion, and Women. But, I'll just focus on us for now.
On the Church meddling in our lives:
By saying this, I said what the catechism says. The catechism, the Catholic Church's book of official doctrine, condemns homosexual acts, but says gays and lesbians "must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Religion has the right to express its opinion in the service of the people, but God in creation has set us free: it is not possible to interfere spiritually in the life of a person."On if he "approved" of homosexuality:
"I replied with another question. Tell me, when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?’ We must always consider the person. Here we enter into the mystery of the human being."He's really saying something, isn't he?
