Kim Davis, put up or get ARRESTED
Today in Kentucky, the excuses are up! Same sex couples can marry without any foolishness or drama from county clerks, Jesus freaks... Anyone.
Kim Davis has been ordered to do her job today, however, I know she's going to deny someone a marriage license. At this point, if she should get out of pocket, she should be arrested. She's been told several times to follow the law and I don't care what mess she believes in, Kim has to comply. How would she feel if someone (doctor or nurse) told her raggedy ass they couldn't save her life because of their religious beliefs.
If she knows what's good for her, she will comply with the law. If not, arrest her immediately!

“At any moment, FedEx can tell you where that package is. It’s on the truck. It’s at the station. It’s on the airplane. Yet we let people come to this country with visas, and the minute they come in, we lose track of them. We need to have a system that tracks you from the moment you come in.”
This fu*ker wants to track immigrants like FedEx tracks packages
Horror Creator Wes Craven has Died
This saddens me a lot.
Wes Craven has died from his battle brain cancer. He was 76 years-old. I will always be thankful for A Nightmare On Elm Street and Scream. These movies changed the game and horror was better for it.
His mind, his idea and vision will be missed. Rest in Peace, Wes.

Cootie Queen Kim Davis facing official misconduct charge
Oh snap! Kim's in trouble!
From The Morehead News:
On Thursday the Rowan County Attorney's Office referred a charge against Davis to the Kentucky Attorney General's Office.
Today, County Attorney Cecil Watkins said that the Rowan County government and his office had no other action against Davis.
“No authority exists for her removal or suspension from the office by Rowan County government,” said Watkins. “Kentucky State Government is the only entity that can move to have Kim Davis removed as Rowan County Clerk.”
KRS 522.020 and KRS 522.030 deal with official misconduct in the first and second degree, respectively. “A public servant is guilty of official misconduct in the first degree when, with intent to obtain or confer a benefit or to injure another person or to deprive another person of a benefit, knowingly commits an act relating to his office which constitutes an unauthorized exercise of his official functions or refrains from performing a duty imposed upon him by law or clearly inherent in the nature of his office or violates any statute or lawfully adopted rule or regulation relating to his office,” according to KRS 522.020.
Official misconduct in the first degree is a Class A misdemeanor and is punishable with imprisonment not to exceed 12 months and fines of $500.
Official misconduct in the second degree is a Class B misdemeanor and carries a potential punishment of up to 90 days imprisonment and fines of $250.
The charge must be tried in court before a designation of first or second degree is placed upon it.
“Kentucky Bar Association rules of the Supreme Court of Kentucky prohibit the Rowan County Attorney's Office from prosecuting Kim Davis due to being involved in current litigation with Davis,” said Watkins. “Typically, the Attorney General's Office refers conflict cases to a prosecutor from another county.”
The case will be tried in Rowan County.

I am grieved and angered over Josh’s choices and his actions. And this is a painful reminder and warning that living without integrity has destructive effects upon people that you care about and people that you love. And to those people who say lets just jettison this moral standard which is falling out of favor in our country today, you know people may not have a care for concern for a moral standard until they’re hurt by those who fall short or break a moral standard.Tony sticking up for Josh Duggar, watch the video after the jump

County Clerk Kim Davis wants to Appeal to Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan
Cootie Queen..... Get it together!
Yesterday, the 6th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals denied Kim's stay to deny marriage licenses to gay couples. So, she has until Monday to do her f*cking job!
But today, this jackal had the nerve to deny another gay couple their right to marry. She really thinks she can defy the law and God will be her co-pilot in this tired crusade. Seeing that she's running out of options, Kim is appealing her case to... DRUMROLL, to the U.S. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan!
Now let me just tell you how this is going to end. Kagan's going to look at Kim's stupid ass and say, "Girl, get out of my face with this mess and get your resume together."
Why do they think Kagan is going to side with them? She was the one who was in favor of marriage equality! Seriously, Kim Davis? Why don't you just accept defeat and go back to the Ozark to raise pigs?
This is getting ridiculous

GetEQUAL and Black Lives Matter Activists disrupted Hillary Clinton's Campaign Event
Activists with GetEQUAL and Black Lives Matter disrupted Hillary Clinton’s grassroots campaign event in Cleveland today. They demanded that she divest from private prisons and focus on the safety of Black transgender women.
GetEQUAL posted this statement on their website:
“Bankrolled by private prison companies and lobbyists like Corrections Corporation of America and the GEO Group, Hillary Clinton is part of the system of violence that criminalizes and kills Black trans people -- how can we take her policy suggestions to curb mass incarceration and detention seriously while she’s accepting this money?” asked Angela Peoples, co-director of grassroots LGBTQ network GetEQUAL and a disruptor of the event.
Peoples continued, “These companies and their lobbyists profit from the incarceration and abuse of Black people, especially Black trans women -- an overwhelming 41% of Black trans women report having been arrested at some point in their lives, often after having been profiled by the police.”
“Hillary Clinton must stand with Black people, especially Black trans women, by refusing to accept funds from or bundled by executives of or lobbyists for private prison companies -- and investing the money she’s already accepted from those companies in the work toward Black trans liberation,” said Rian Brown, GetEQUAL state lead and local Cleveland organizer taking part in the disruption. “Until that happens, we cannot for a moment think that Hillary believes Black Lives Matter.”
Brown added: “The actions that took place across the country on Tuesday were a call for cisgender Black folks to show up for Black trans people; we’re here to demand that Clinton divest from private prisons in solidarity with our Black trans family.”
Josh Duggar goes to Rehab
Josh Duggar has checked himself into a rehab facility to fix his porn addiction. This comes after a porn star revealed having rough sex with him twice.
The Duggar family wrote this on their blog:
We are so thankful for the outpouring of love, care and prayers for our family during this most difficult situation with Josh. As parents we are so deeply grieved by our son’s decisions and actions. His wrong choices have deeply hurt his precious wife and children and have negatively affected so many others. He has also brought great insult to the values and faith we hold dear. Yesterday Josh checked himself into a long-term treatment center. For him it will be a long journey toward wholeness and recovery. We pray that in this he comes to complete repentance and sincere change. In the meantime, we will be offering our love, care and devoted support to Anna and our grandchildren as she also receives counsel and help for her own heart and future. During this time we continue to look to God—He is our rock and comfort. We ask for your continued prayers for our entire family.

Suicide Note reveals that Vester Lee Flanagan was Gay
Vester Lee Flanagan has released a suicide letter explaining so many things including a race war, and the fact that he was gay. I'm going to post some pieces of the letter from ABC News, and to be honest I'm going to meditate on this because there's a lot to unpack with this information.
From ABC News:
It is unclear whose initials he is referring to. He continues, “As for Dylann Roof? You (deleted)! You want a race war (deleted)? BRING IT THEN YOU WHITE …(deleted)!!!” He said Jehovah spoke to him, telling him to act.More to come
Later in the manifesto, the writer quotes the Virginia Tech mass killer, Seung Hui Cho, calls him “his boy,” and expresses admiration for the Columbine High School killers. “Also, I was influenced by Seung–Hui Cho. That’s my boy right there. He got NEARLY double the amount that Eric Harris and Dylann Klebold got…just sayin.'"
In an often rambling letter to the authorities, and family and friends, he writes of a long list of grievances. In one part of the document, Williams calls it a “Suicide Note for Friends and Family."
He says has suffered racial discrimination, sexual harassment and bullying at work
He says he has been attacked by black men and white females
He talks about how he was attacked for being a gay, black man
“Yes, it will sound like I am angry...I am. And I have every right to be. But when I leave this Earth, the only emotion I want to feel is peace....”
“The church shooting was the tipping point…but my anger has been building steadily...I’ve been a human powder keg for a while…just waiting to go BOOM!!!!”

Porn Star Danica Dillon had sex with Josh Duggar TWICE!
And it keeps coming and coming...
Miss Danica spilt all the tea about her rough sex with Josh Duggar.
She told her story to In Touch magazine, even took a lie detector test to prove her point.
Here's more
“He walked into the Gold Club like a normal patron and said he’d been a fan for a long time and has watched my career grow — he even said from before my boob job until recently — and that he loved watching my very first scene on [an adult website],” she tells In Touch. “Then it got creepy.”
After watching her show and "eyeballing me," Danica says he bought $600 in private dances and then “asked me how would he be able to spend the evening with me.” She reveals to In Touch that Josh was violent with her when they had sex, he did not use protection and gave her thousands of dollars after their encounters.
Danica admits she “took the opportunity because Josh offered to gift [her] $1,500.” But soon after Josh arrived at her hotel room, things got rough.
“He was manhandling me, basically tossing me around like I was a rag doll,” Danica, whose real name is Ashley Lewis, and although the sex was consensual, “It was very traumatic. I’ve had rough sex before, but this was terrifying.”
Danica is hoping more women speak out about Josh.
Reporter and Cameraman Murdered during Live News Broadcast

HuffPo reports
Two journalists with Roanoke, Virginia-based news station WDBJ were killed Wednesday in a shooting that took place during a live broadcast.More to come
Reporter Alison Parker, 24, and cameraman Adam Ward, 27, died shortly after the incident, the station announced. Multiple shots rang out at around 6:45 a.m. during a broadcast from Smith Mountain Lake in the community of Moneta.
Augusta County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to The Huffington Post that they are searching for suspect Vester Lee Flanagan, 41.
Local station WHSV said on Twitter that authorities were pursuing the suspect on the interstate.
"We believe it was a disgruntled employee who fired at the TV crew," Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) said Wednesday morning in an online Q&A session.
Around 10:30 a.m., the governor said the arrest of the suspect was "imminent."
Vicki Gardner, the woman Parker was interviewing, was shot in the back and is undergoing surgery, CNN reports. Gardner is the executive director of the Smith Mountain Lake Regional Chamber of Commerce.

WATCH Jorge Ramos removed from Donald Trump's press conference
Buzzfeed reports
Univision CEO Isaac Lee, in a statement after the clash, invited Trump to an interview with Ramos.This is the beginning of the end of Mr. Trump.
“We’d love for Mr. Trump to sit down for an in-depth interview with Jorge to talk about the specifics of his proposals,” Lee said.
An Univision representative also told BuzzFeed News Ramos has asked Trump for interviews in the past. He said he did not know what the response has been from Trump’s campaign, but Ramos has not interviewed Trump.
A Trump campaign representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment from BuzzFeed News.
Reporters asked Trump during the press conference why Ramos was booted.
“I don’t believe I know much about him except he started screaming and, I didn’t escort him out, you’ll have to talk to security,” Trump said. “He just stands up and and starts screaming, so, maybe he’s at fault, too.”
Tuesday’s press conference was just one of the latest clashes between Trump and Spanish-language news stations since he announced his candidacy.

RentBoy.com Offices Raided for Prostitution
Lord, it's going down today!
The CEO and several employees of RentBoy.com were busted on suspicion of conspiring to promote prostitution... Wait, isn't RentBoy.com prostitution though?
Anywho, their offices were raided in NYC this morning. CEO Jeffrey Hurant and six of his workers were arrested.
Here's more about today's bust:
The company, which billed itself as the world's largest male escort service, is located at a walk-up on West 14th Street, off Fifth Avenue, with no signage. Boxes of documents and computers were also seized.Followed by a news clip
It was a Homeland Security bust carried out with help from the NYPD.
Authorities said the site operated as a male prostitution ring, cutting out the middle man. The complaint said that Rentboy.com, founded in 1997, hosted thousands of paid advertisements. Despite disclaimers that the ads were not for sexual services, Rentboy.com is designed for advertising illegal prostitution, the complaint said.

In the clip below, Matthew ask the men, "What's up with the faggot ass wipers?"
The guy says "Breast cancer, man -- my grandma went through it."
Matthew then says the pink wipers make the guy look like a "fruitcake" and tells him to support breast cancer in a different way.

His department isn't too happy about this at all. Right now, social media is dragging this creep across the coals. Word has it that Matthew may face criminal charges over the traffic stop foolishness.
I hope he's fired.

Duke Students whine over reading Fun Home
Duke University is one of the top schools in the nation. Many students are super excited to be a part of the Duke family due to the prestigious name and the amazing opportunities.
This year, the required reading for the new freshman class is the award winning "Fun Home" by Alison Bechdel. However, some within the Duke's freshmen class were scared that the graphic novel will invoke sinful thoughts.
CNN reports:
The 2006 graphic novel, an autobiographical work about Bechdel coming to terms with her homosexuality as her funeral-director father remains closeted, was selected as a summer reading book for the Duke Class of 2019. But some students declined to read it because of its sexual themes and use of nudity.
"I feel as if I would have to compromise my personal Christian moral beliefs to read it," incoming freshman Brian Grasso wrote on Facebook, according to the Duke Chronicle.
"The nature of 'Fun Home' means that content that I might have consented to read in print now violates my conscience due to its pornographic nature," freshman Jeffrey Wubbenhorst added in an email to the publication.
A Duke spokesman observed that the reading was voluntary, though he hoped that "students will begin their time at Duke with open minds and a willingness to explore new ideas, whether they agree with them or not."
"Like many universities and community, Duke has had a summer reading for many years to give incoming students a shared intellectual experience with other members of the class," said Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations, in a statement to CNN.
" 'Fun Home' was ultimately chosen because it is a unique and moving book that transcends genres and explores issues that students are likely to confront," he added, noting that Bechdel came to campus for a discussion during orientation week.Lord, these cry babies are the worst. The WORST! Why are they going to college? There will be plenty of temptation all through the dorms. I swear, these faux Christians can't handle real life.

The Family Foundation of Kentucky held their Hate Rally for Kim Davis
Over the weekend, bigots held a rally for their Queen-to-be Kim Davis.
The First Amendment Rally for County Clerks at the Capitol, was supported by The Family Foundation of Kentucky. This group claims to be fighting in the name of God and civil rights (you can laugh if you like)
Anywho, during this mess, almost 2000 people showed up to sing hymns and tell Kim Davisto keep up the fight. Here's a snippet below
Kentucky.com reports
Kim Davis, who has been sued by the ACLU of Kentucky for refusing to issue marriage licenses to all couples, thanked the crowd while crying.
She said she was at the rally to praise God and shouted out at least three times, "He is worthy." Whitley Clerk Schwartz told the crowd that political correctness does not honor everlasting life, and Casey Clerk Davis said Americans need to "put God back in government where He belongs." Casey Davis was more political than the other two clerks. He told the crowd to "beat Jack Conway and Andy Beshear" at the polls in November. (Andy Beshear, a son of the governor, is the Democrats' candidate for attorney general.) But Davis said people of different political parties can agree on important subjects. He noted that he is a Republican and Rowan Clerk Davis is Democrat. He said they are not biologically kin but "she's my sister. We are related through the blood of Jesus Christ."
Fire her, please!

Tony Perkins: Josh Duggar 'Harms the Cause He Has Publicly Espoused'
Now the hate leaders are speaking out about Josh's sex pig ways. Check out Tony Perkins' statement:
"Last night we learned from online reports about allegations concerning Josh Duggar and then read his confession today. We are grieved by Josh's conduct and the devastating impact of his pornography addiction and marital unfaithfulness. Our hearts hurt for his family, and all those affected by Josh's actions. His deceitful behavior harms his family, his friends, his former coworkers, and the cause he has publicly espoused," Perkins asserted. "Those of us who advocate for family values in the public square are held to a higher standard, and Josh's failures serve as a painful reminder of the destructive effects of not living with integrity. We are praying for the family."
Poor Josh... Trying to be so good only him a little sexual deviant. They should've let him be a normal teenaged boy. The should've let him explore and get this out of his system. This cult-like mess f**ked him up and his family is to blame.

Josh Duggar: “I have been the biggest hypocrite ever."
From the Duggars' Website
“I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became an addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife. I am so ashamed of the double life I have been living and am grieved for the hurt, pain, and disgrace my sin has caused my wife and family, and most of all Jesus and all those who profess faith in Him. I have brought hurt and a reproach to my family, close friends, and fans of the show with my actions that happened with I was 14-15 years old and now I have re-broken their trust. The last few years, while publicly stating I was fighting against immorality in our country, I was hiding my own personal failings. As I am learning the hard way, we have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to chose our consequences. I deeply regret all hurt I have caused so many by being such a bad example. I humbly ask for your forgiveness. Please pray for my wife Anna and your family during this time."

Here's the synopsis
Here's the synopsis
The campaign, by Pereira O’Dell, focuses on various different scenarios which question what makes a true friend (#VerdaderoAmigo). In this eight-minute film, a group of teen boys joke and tease each other in the usual high school way about girls, video games and such-like. Two of the boys are especially close buddies, but Rafael is hiding something from his friend Diego– he’s gay. When he leaves his phone unattended, Diego reads a text that surprises him. His decision to cover for his friend, and accept him for who he is, is what cements this true friendship. And, as Rafael points out, gay guys know all the pretty girls.

Josh Duggar had an Ashley Madison account

Y'all have heard about Ashley Madison being hacked and all that juicy information is out on the webs for all of us to read, right?
Well, in the midst of all of that scandalous information we have now learned that Josh Duggar had an account with the cheating site! Yes, he had an account and please read all the dirty information below thanks to Gawker.
But data released online in the wake of the hack on Ashley Madison’s servers certainly seems to show otherwise. Someone using a credit card belonging to a Joshua J. Duggar, with a billing address that matches the home in Fayetteville, Arkansas owned by his grandmother Mary—a home that was consistently shown on their now-cancelled TV show, and in which Anna Duggar gave birth to her first child—paid a total of $986.76 for two different monthly Ashley Madison subscriptions from February of 2013 until May of 2015.Girl...

Interesting Quote: Andrew Haigh
“I would love it if there were more shows with different types of gay people, but I couldn’t do that with Looking. What is frustrating is that gay people complain that there is no representation on screen, but then when we made Looking, not many people actually watched it. We had really low viewing figures and got cancelled! … A lot of people seemed to talk about it without actually watching it. So many people said ‘I didn’t watch your show, I didn’t like it’, but they’d admit they barely watched the pilot. So you’re making a judgment on two seasons of a show after watching just five minutes, and turning it off because somebody was being jerked off in a wood and you didn’t like what that said about gay people. I do think it is rooted in a fear where we want representation in the world, but only of the best of us. Now, it is of my feeling that if we want true acceptance, then we should be accepted fully, as shitty people, who have emotional baggage and who do find it hard to be gay. I have no problem with those characters being on screen.”

Activists Painted the Stonewall Statues over Film's Whitewashing
The trailer for the upcoming Stonewall film has angered many of us.
The main reason is the whitewashing of the tale. The movie has this Danny character as the 'White savior' of the story. Activists from all over were pissed, including the survivors of the original riots.
A couple of activists took note and decided to do more than tweet about it. They painted the statues in front Stonewall to represent the POCs involved in the riots.
Autostraddle talked to the activists who painted the statues. This is what they had to say:
Those sculptures are supposedly there to commemorate the Stonewall riots, but there isn’t a trace of the actual riots in them. They’re a slap across the face to the Black and Latina trans women who got whacked with batons and shoved into police vans, and still had the guts to continue to lead the fight for LGBTQ liberation. I mean, the people who modeled for the sculptures weren’t even at the riots! That’s just a straight-up insult. It’s also important to note that the Mildred Andrews Fund paid a (presumably) straight and cis white man $90,000 to depict gay people. It’s no wonder that the sculptures are so impassive and tone-deaf.
We painted them because Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, Miss Major, Storme DeLarverie and all the other Black and Brown people who led the movement deserve credit for their courage and strength. What we did was rectification, not vandalism. Those statues are bronze (brown) underneath the layer of white paint — the symbolism behind that is infuriating. I know that some people are going to be angry, but I’m not concerned with preserving bullshit art. I’m angry about the whitewashing of LGBTQ history.

Three Trans Women of Color found dead Last Week
Three more trans women of color were found dead this past week.
Tamara Dominguez
Kandis Capri
Elisha Walker
BuzzFeed News reports on how these women were killed:
Dominguez was hit by a car and run over around 3 a.m. local time on Saturday morning in a church parking lot in Kansas City, Missouri, police told local station KCTV. Authorities said she was run over at least three times and her death is being investigated as a possible hate crime. A police spokesperson was not immediately available for comment on Tuesday.When will this end?
“[The killer] doesn’t know she has family,” Dominguez’s friend Juan Rendon told KCTV. “She had her mom. She had her nephews, brothers, and sisters that person didn’t think about what he did.”
Justin Shaw, executive director at the Kansas City Anti-Violence Project, said he was devastated by Dominguez’s death. “Our hearts are heavy with grief that another member of our community was taken too soon,” Shaw said in a statement. A GoFundMe has been establish to help the Dominguez family return her body to Mexico and pay for her funeral.
Capri, 35, was shot outside of an apartment in Phoenix, Arizona, around 11.30 p.m. local time on Aug. 11. Capri’s mother, Andria Gaines, told the Guardian that police said her child was shot three to four times.
AZCentral.com reported Capri was taken to a hospital where she died from her injuries. Gaines said her child’s transgender identity makes her wonder if Capri was killed as part of a hate crime.
“He identified as transgender,” Gaines told the newspaper. “Initially I was against it, but eventually I determined that was my child and I still loved him and I accepted him as he was.”
Walker was reported missing in November from Salisbury, North Carolina. Local gang member Angel Dejesus Arias, 23, was identified as a person of interest in Walker’s disappearance after her burnt-out car was found, Rowan County Sheriff officials told BuzzFeed News in a statement. In July, authorities began using a cadaver-detecting dog in the search for Walker’s remains. But it wasn’t until last Thursday, during the search of a residence near Smithfield that officials discovered Walker’s body in a shallow “crude grave” in woods behind the house.
Arias has since been charged with murder and felony larceny of a motor vehicle.

Amiyah Scott will join the ladies for what is setting up to be the best season of the series. As I mentioned earlier, Amiyah is trans and a model. No details on why she was chosen, but I think the rumors of her being romantically linked to artists and rappers helps.
I hope she received well and don't bring too much drama.

A Kentucky Hate Group will host a Rally for Kim Davis
The Family Foundation of Kentucky is hosting a rally for the idiot queen, Kim Davis. Kim is trying to use her religious freedom to deny same-sex couples marriage licences. When the government said, "Do your job, Cretin," she starts waving her arms to God.
But instead of God coming to save her, a hate group came with this foolishness.
These fu*kers
Michael Sam is taking a much needed Break
Michael Sam has been in a whirlwind of stuff. From the NFL drafts, engagements, the media and being gay, Micahel hasn't really come down from all of that attention. And while it can be a good thing, it can also take its toll. So on Twitter, Sam released this statement.
“The last 12 months have been very difficult for me, to the point where I became concerned with my mental health. Because of this I am going to step away from the game at this time.I thank the Alouettes for this opportunity and hope to be back on the field soon. Thank you all for your understanding and support.”I can't imagine the pressure and the madness he was dealing with. But I hope he steps away and get himself back on track.
We're rooting for you, Michael.

Civil Rights Champion Julian Bond has Died
We lost a hero, a fighter, a believer...
Civil Rights leader Julian Bond has died.
Julian has always been been a fighter.
As a student at Morehouse College, he co-founded Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee that organized protests during the civil right movement. Later in life, he served as the board chairman of the NAACP for 10 years. In this role, Julian spoke out against homophobia and strongly supported gay rights.
Julian continued his work for civil rights until his dying day.
He was the true embodiment of strength... Thank you, Julian for your integrity and wisdom.
