When I first moved to Miami to start life with Carlos I met many of his friends. Most were genuinely nice, one was, well, let’s say, he was difficult. I’ll call him Maynard because that’s his name.

Every time I was around Maynard in those early days—he and his partner came to our house for dinner, and we went to theirs—Maynard would always tell me he’d forgotten my name.

Bob. It’s Bob. Just the three letters and two of ‘em are the same. And yet, without fail, he’d give me that, “I’m sorry, I’ve forgotten again.”

About eight months after moving, my friend Carissa came from California for as visit, just in time for Carlos’ birthday. We gathered a group of his friends—Maynard and his partner included—and off we went to South Beach for dinner. Carissa met everyone, loved everyone, but paid special attention as Maynard once again asked my name while we had cocktails in the bar, and she does not play.

Over dinner, she looked him dead in the eye as he was talking and asked what his name was because she’d forgotten.

“Maynard.” He said in a huff.

“Mayo?” She asked.

“May.Nard.”

“That doesn’t sound right to me. You should have a simpler name like Tom or Bob. Something no one would ever forget.”

On the way home in the car, Carlos was smiling like mad; when we asked him why, he said he loved to see Maynard squirm. Carissa was, is, and always will be, one of my favorite BFFs.

As you can see, Tuxedo is starting his own war on Christmas, with his own brand of snark, and we’re all fine with that.

As many do these days, Florida ReTHUGlican Congressman Anthony Sabatini used Twitter to reflect upon what he was thankful for on Thanksgiving Day.

I am thankful this dumbass lives in Flori-duh. They deserve him.

Ashley Grames used Tik Tok to brag about not following COVID protocols like wearing a mask, social distancing, gathering in crowds, traveling and allowing her children to have playdates. Her bosses saw her Tik Tok message and put her on administrative leave.

Good, I say; bad, you may say, but … Grames is an oncology nurse at Salem Health. A nurse. Someone who has probably been on the “front lines” of the pandemic and brags about not following protocols, but then going to work with cancer patients, and others with ailments that could be affected by COVID:

“Yesterday, a nurse employed with Salem Health posted a video on social media which displayed cavalier disregard for the seriousness of this pandemic and her indifference towards physical distancing and masking outside of work. … We want to thank those of you who brought this to our attention and assure you that we are taking this very seriously. This individual does not speak for Salem Health and has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.”

Asshat. Leave? Fire her.

Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill has asked the Supreme Court to reverse a decision by the US 7th Circuit Court of Appeals which upheld another Indiana judge’s ruling that allowed both members of a married same-sex couple to be listed as parents on their child’s birth certificate.

The original case involved Ashlee and Ruby Henderson who challenged Indiana’s birth records law. They sued the state health commissioner and Tippecanoe County officials because county officials would not list both of them as parents on the birth certificate of their son, who Ruby conceived through artificial insemination, and won that case.

Now, Curtis Hill, an asshat, says:

“A birth mother’s wife will never be the biological father of the child, meaning that, whenever a birth-mother’s wife gains presumptive ‘parentage’ status, a biological father’s rights and obligations to the child have necessarily been undermined without proper adjudication.”

Seriously, this tool thinks a birth mother’s wife wants to be the father? She wants to be acknowledged, legally, as the parent of the child, and this homophobic move by Hill screams back to the Dark Ages for LGBTQ+ Americans, and we will not go back.

Mitch McConnell is back at work in Congress but has no plans for any COVID-19 relief but is fast-tracking more judicial nominees to the courts.

Thanks, people of Kentucky, for voting this traitor back into office. I hope none of you needs any relief during this second, worse, wave, because your boy gives no fucks about you.

Another trans sister has been murdered.

Chae’Meshia Simms, a Black transgender woman, was shot and killed November 23rd in Richmond, Virginia.

First responders were called to the site of a car crash and found Simms’ body in the driver’s seat, killed from an apparent gunshot wound. 

Simms’ death came three days after National Transgender Day of Remembrance, and she is now the 39th violent death of a trans or gender non-conforming person this year, more than any previously recorded year. 

This needs to be stopped. It’s Hate. Stop it.

Like lining his pockets, but the sheep still send their checks.

It’s time for some new hotties on network TV like …clockwise from top left … Gerardo Celasco—who formerly went by his stage name Adrian Bellani—a Salvadoran-American actor on sci-fi show, NEXT,  where he just smolders. On the legal drama, All Rise, this season they have added Shalim  Ortiz—who’s been here before—and Ian Anthony Dale—who has also appeared here in the past; hotties are always worth a second looks. Lastly we have Sean Boyce Johnson who has joined the cast of For Life. Oy, the smile on that man.

Thank the goddess for a DVR.

Children Stand Up To Homophobia

There was a substitute teacher in the fifth-grade class at Deerfield Elementary School in Utah who asked the class to explain, one by one, what they were most thankful about this Thanksgiving. When it was Daniel’s turn, he stood up and said he was most thankful that he was “finally going to be adopted by my two dads.”

The teacher then launched into a ten-minute lecture about how “two men living together is a sin,” and then asked the boy:

“Why on earth would you be happy about that? That’s nothing to be thankful for.”

And while that teacher ranted, three girls in the class tried to intervene, tried to get the grown-up teacher to act like a grown-up teacher, and when their efforts failed, they left the room to get the principal, who came back with them and escorted the teacher out of the classroom.

And, as bigots and homophobes, as this substitute was being removed from the school, she continued to argue, continued to try and make her point, and told Daniel it was his fault that she went off on him.

You know, because he was thankful for having two dads. And the saddest thing—other than this homophobe being allowed to teach children—is that Daniel was afraid to speak because he thought it might hurt his chances at the adoption being finalized.

One of the his fathers, Louis van Amstel,  spoke to the mother of one of the girls, who told him:

“I am so glad that I raised my daughter in a way where she would stand up for what’s right.”

The good news is that a few days later, the family’s neighbors decorated their house with paper hearts that said “We love you” and “We support you.”

The better news is that children will be the ones to end this kind of bigotry and hate; the children will stand up for what is right.

The best news is that the substitute teacher at the center of this story has been fired from the staffing company that employed her.

And the bestest [not a word, I know] news is that Daniel will have two dads by Christmas.

The Daughter's Ex-Boyfriend Dates Her Daddy, Making Him Her Step-Daddy?

I don’t wanna throw stones but this is all kinds of skeevy to me …

Barrie and Tony Drewitt-Barlow are, or were, called Britain's 'first gay dads' after they became famous in 1999 when they welcomed twins Saffron and Aspen via a surrogate. The two men later won the legal right to both be be named as parents on a birth certificate, in a landmark ruling for LGBTQ parenting.

The two men also welcomed a son, Orlando, in 2003 and twins Jasper and Dallas in 2010.

Now, the Drewitt-Barlows, after 32 years together, are divorcing because one of the dads, Barrie, 50, has fallen "head over heels"  in love with his daughter Saffron's ex-boyfriend, 25-year-old Scott Hutchison.

Yes.

And, to make it all the more kinda icky, both men, and their five children, and Barrie’s new decades-younger lover, Scott, are all living together in the same home in Florida.

Scott, who is bisexual, had previously dated Barrie and Tony's daughter Saffron, but Barrie, now in his own relationship with Scott, says their relationship was never sexual and the two were more like "friends".

I wonder if Saffron felt that way.

Maybe so, because Barrie says that, after some initial hesitation, Saffron is now "so supportive" of his relationship with Scott, as is Barrie’s soon-to-be ex-husband.

Boyfriend becomes daddy?

Okurrrrrr…..?

Look, whatever works, right, but if I were the girl'sfather and I felt some kinda way about her ex-boyfriend, young enough to be my son, I'd still stay away from that mess, and perhaps look at other gay fish in the homo-ocean.

The Mormons Now Like Children of The Gays ... But Not Their Parents

Out there to Utah, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints President, Russell Nelson, has made some changes to the Mormon church’s doctrines regarding The Gays …well, children of The Gays:

“Previously, our Handbook characterized same-gender marriage by a member as apostasy. While we still consider such a marriage to be a serious transgression, it will not be treated as apostasy for purposes of Church discipline. Instead, the immoral conduct in heterosexual or homosexual relationships will be treated in the same way.”

Yes, they still think being gay is immoral, but … the church wants to “reduce the hate and contention so common today” and so they will change their policy on the children of same-sex couples, saying they can now be baptized in the faith without special approval.

Not their loving same-sex parents, mind you.

The rules about children of The Gays being unable to be baptized went into effect in 2015 and saw the exodus of thousands of LGBTQ Mormons and their allies from the church.

The interesting thing about Russell Nelson’s latest semi-pro-LGBTQ announcement, is that he was the one who introduced that hate-filled policy back in 2015 in the first place.

So, is this a shift in attitude, a public relations game, or a money beg since so many people left, and are still leaving the church because of their antiquated hate?

Please don’t ever forget that it was the Mormon church that was a major funder of California’s Proposition 8 that took away marriage rights from LGBTQ people in 2008.

They paid for hate. And maybe now they’re paying for it and so they backtrack because, let me make this queer, you are still unwelcome in the church if you are gay. 

The Children of The Gays are welcome, their parents are not.

Common Sense: It’s Real, and It’s Spectacular

Last June, the US Supreme Court ruled that Arkansas had to issue the birth certificates equally to opposite-sex and same-sex parents, overturning their previous, discriminatory policy.

And Arkansas did nothing.

So, after months of waiting for the state to comply with the Supreme Court ruling, Pulaski County Circuit Judge Tim Fox has stopped Arkansas from issuing any birth certificates to anyone.

And a few hours later, to no one’s amazement, Governor Asa Hutchinson instructed the Department of Health to stop discriminating against same-sex couples.

The issue involved the case of Pavan v. Smith, where three married, same-sex couples with children, sued the state to get both of their names listed on their children’s birth certificates. See, in Arkansas, a woman’s husband is always put on her child’s birth certificate, no matter his genetic relationship with the baby; so, if Becky Lou is married to Jim Bob but has Gomer’s baby, Jim Bob’s name goes on the birth certificate.

Same-sex spouses were denied this, even though they were legally married.

And when Judge Fox heard their case and ruled that the state couldn’t discriminate against them, and when the supreme court of Arkansas overturned his ruling, he had just the one choice: common sense.

He issued an order to the Department of Health stopping all birth certificates from being issued until Arkansas complied with the US Supreme Court ruling.

And suddenly everyone gets a birth certificate.

Bravo, Judge Fox, bravo.

Ivanka the Rump Panders and Lies Like the Rest of That Klan

So, we’ve discussed the lunacy of The Rump; and we’ve seen the stupidity of Little Eric the Rump, who desperately wanted to be first born so he’d get Daddy’s name and a top spot in the will. And we’ve heard from Little Donny the Rump Jr., who hasn’t met a truthful phrase yet.

Now, let’s turn our attention to the one Rump that I used to hold in a higher regard than the rest of that Klan, Ivanka. I say “used to” because Ivanka is drinking the Rump Kool-Aid through a beer bong now and is just as misguided and full of crap as the men in her family.

Ivanka has come out as the architect of Daddy’s plan for child care and maternity leave, and she is trying to paint him the more pro-woman candidate. Oh, and because she’s a Rump, and a liar, Ivanka lied about Hillary Clinton’s long history of fighting for family medical leave, maternity leave and more, saying Daddy’s plan is “the first to address this in a comprehensive way.”

Um, look behind you Ivanka because your pants, the ones from your clothing line you produce in China, are on fire because Hillary Clinton released her comprehensive child-care and family-medical leave plan over a year ago.

This is the man who has called women all sorts of vile names and even once suggested he’d date his own daughter because she’s so hot, but this isn’t all about that. It’s about how, in the days following the shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Donald the Rump called himself the greatest LGBT ally there ever was, and then proceeded to talk about stripping away our progress in being treated equally in this country. And his child care plan is more of the same.

The Rump’s family leave plan makes no mention of paid paternity leave for same-sex male couples; sorry gay dads, you don’t matter. But Ivanka the Rump doesn’t want to talk about that; she wants to lie and try to shift focus away from the topic by making it seem as if the plan benefits same-sex couples:

“This is a giant leap from where we are today, which is sadly, nothing. Both sides of the aisle have been unable to agree on this issue, so I think this takes huge advancement and obviously, for same-sex couples as well, there’s tremendous benefit here to enabling the mother to recover after childbirth. It’s critical for the health of the mother. It’s critical for bonding with the child, and that was a top focus of this plan. So it’s meant to benefit, whether it’s in same-sex marriages as well, to benefit the mother who has given birth to the child if they have legal married status under the tax code.”

But a reporter for Cosmopolitan wasn’t having it and asked why her plan excludes family leave for gay couples, “where both partners are men” and Ivanka does what The Rumps do, she sidesteps:

“The policy is fleshed out online, so you can go see all the elements of it. But the original intention of the plan is to help mothers in recovery in the immediate aftermath of childbirth.”

The reporter was not playing:

“So I just want to be clear that, for same-sex adoption, where the two parents are both men, they would not be receiving special leave for that because they don’t need to recover or anything?”

And Ivanka laughed:

“Well, those are your words, not mine. Those are your words. The plan, right now, is focusing on mothers, whether they be in same-sex marriages or not.”

Not same-sex male couples.

And that’s when the interview got kinda nasty, from Ivanka, because the reporter began repeating some of the things her lying, flip-flopping, pandering, asshat of  a father has said in the past …

Cosmopolitan: In 2004, Donald Trump said that pregnancy is an inconvenient thing for a business. It’s surprising to see this policy from him today. Can you talk a little bit about those comments, and perhaps what has changed?

Ivanka: “So I think that you have a lot of negativity in these questions, and I think my father has put forth a very comprehensive and really revolutionary plan to deal with a lot of issues. So I don’t know how useful it is to spend too much time with you on this if you’re going to make a comment like that.”

Don’t be mean to Daddy because he can’t take it.

Ivanka: “My father obviously has a track record of decades of employing women at every level of his company, and supporting women, and supporting them in their professional capacity, and enabling them to thrive outside of the office and within. To imply otherwise is an unfair characterization of his track record and his support of professional women. So the policies at our company reflect that, and the diversity of our workforce, from a gender perspective, and in all perspectives, reflects that. So my father has been a great advocate for the women in the workforce, and that’s part of why he recognized that reform is so necessary.”

Cosmopolitan: I would like to say that I’m sorry the questions — you’re finding them negative, but it is relevant that a presidential candidate made those comments, so I’m just following up.

Ivanka: “Well, you said he made those comments. I don’t know that he said those comments.”

Like Daddy, she calls the person asking the questions a liar.

Cosmopolitan: This is quoted from an NBC [interview] from 2004. I definitely did not make that up. I do want to talk to you a little bit beyond the plan, as well—

Ivanka: I think what I was — there’s plenty of time for you to editorialize around this, but I think he put forth a really incredible plan that has pushed the boundaries of what anyone else is talking about. On child care specifically, there are no proposals on the table. He really took ownership of this issue, and I really applaud him for doing that. I hope that, regardless of what your political viewpoint is, this should be celebrated.

Cosmopolitan: I want to talk about how this will be paid for. I know that Donald Trump wants to have an increase in defense spending, also is promising tax cuts, [wants to raise] infrastructure spending, and wants to build a wall [at the Mexican border]. How will this plan be paid for?

Ivanka: Well, he’s going to unveil his total tax-reform plan on Thursday, and this is a component of that, so it will be included in his overall budget and economic vision. So it is accounted for, it is paid for under this plan, and it is budget-neutral. In terms of the paid leave component, that’s self-financing through reforms in existing unemployment insurance. So the child care component of the plan, and the dependent care component of the plan, will be presented as part of the larger tax reform that he’s going to be presenting on Thursday in a speech here in New York. And the paid leave component is self-financing through the reforms I just mentioned. I’m going to jump off, I have to run. I apologize.”

And, like Daddy, when the heat is on, she flees … and then took to Twitter to whine about the treatment she received, you know, about talking about her father’s plans and then being asked about it.

She chastised Cosmopolitan with this Tweet to them:

“Your readers do & should care about issues impacting women & children. Keep the focus where it belongs—advocating change.” 

She thinks no one has cared about women until a lying billionaire and his lying children came along.

Sit down, Ivanka; you’re part of the problem.

After All The Bad News, I Need Some Good...

A while ago I shared the story of Amaya, and her two dads, who featured in a recent issue of American Girl magazine. Amaya was featured in the magazine because she wanted to share her story of being fostered by, and then legally adopted by, Rob and Reece Scheer, and how she was inspired to do charity work in support of other foster kids because she felt so lucky to have a family.

Well, those wacky One Million Moms Seventy-Four-Thousand Moms called for a boycott of American Girl Doll — and its parent company, Mattel — and their magazine because of The Gay. And, well, those One Million Moms Seventy-Four-Thousand Moms and their boycott worked …

Due to the rampant homophobia of those “moms” Amaya’s story went viral. She and her family, and by association, American Doll, were everywhere, being talked about and interviewed and featured in all kinds of other news sources online and in print; even Ellen was talking Amaya and the boycott that never was ….

You see, Comfort Cases, the charity Amaya and her dads, as well as her other three adopted siblings, founded, is ending 2015 on an up note:

• Comfort Cases held its annual Holiday Packing Party on November 21, assembling 500 more cases than the previous year, a 70% increase.

• The total number of cases collected and distributed in 2015 topped 10,000 — 4,000 more than 2014, and an increase of 65%.

• With contributions coming in from all over the world, monetary donations to Comfort Cases will triple what they were in 2014. That’s up 300%!

So, it looks like those boycotts that the One Million Moms Seventy-Four-Thousand Moms are so fond of starting actually work … just not in the way those bigots intended.

An Eleven-Year-Old Schools One Million Moms Seventy-Four Thousand Moms

So, One Million Moms — actually, it’s more Seventy-Four-Thousand Moms — recently launched another one of their boycott campaigns against American Girl, a company that makes dolls and publishes a magazine for children—because an ad by the company featured … :::gasp::: … a married same-sex couple, Rob and Reece Scheer, who are raising four foster care children, including adopted daughter Amaya:

"One Million Moms Seventy-Four-Thousand Moms is extremely disappointed that American Girl, owned by Mattel, is promoting sin in the November/December 2015 issue of its magazine."

The sin is that a legally married same-sex couple is raising children, and so this rag-tag band of, probably not mothers but, bored Christian Loons pointed their followers to an article titled 'Forever Family' about adoption from foster care; and that’s a bad thing because the4 article included a large picture of a girl with her two dads, and their three other adopted children.

One Million Moms Seventy-Four-Thousand Moms then asked their followers to contact American Girl and tell them that as long as they are "pushing the homosexual agenda to children, your family will no longer be able to support the company, its magazine, or purchase its products."

Boo hoo. I could go on about hate, or about the need for people to adopt or foster children, and the way some of the Christian right chooses to ignore, and sometimes punish, those children, but, you know, sometimes there are others who say what I want to say, and say it better.

Amaya and her two dads, Rob and Reece, appeared on Fox’s ‘Good Day DC’ this week and Rob said that when he heard about the One Million Moms' Seventy-Four-Thousand Moms’ campaign against his family and American Girl, he was "shocked."

"These were moms! These were moms that were saying that my family was wrong, that the love that my husband and I are giving our four kids and what we’re doing was wrong. I would expect moms not to say these types of things about our family." — Rob Scheer

Rob then noted that, rather than urge boycotts against doll companies, and soup companies and cereal companies maybe these “moms” try and help the “364,000 kids in foster care."

And then Amaya, my new hero and idol, was asked what she had say to One Million Moms Seventy-Four-Thousand Moms and she said it better than her dad, and better than I ever could:

"This is none of your business."

Snap.

So … Audra. I could sum up her performance with one word: flawless. But y’all know I need more than one word, so ...

The voice is perfection.

The song choices are amazing.

She was gorgeous and funny and thoughtful and thought-provoking.

She talked of her support for marriage equality — she was one of the first — way back when it was just Massachusetts and Iowa—because, as she said it, she’s a beneficiary of the Civil Rights movement, and without that movement back in the 60s, she might not have been able to stand on a stage in Greenville, South Carolina and sing before a mixed audience.

She told a story of playing the Mother Superior in NBC’s live version of The Sound of Music, and how, during the live airing, the actors couldn’t leave the soundstage for fear that the noise from doors opening and closing would be heard on TV. So the actors sat in cubbyholes backstage and, since they also had to keep quiet, Audra live Tweeted the show with her daughter Zoe, who told her that it was beautiful and sounded great and was a fabulous show. Audra texted her back saying she had to go, she was up to sing ‘Climb Every Mountain,’ and when she returned to her phone, hoping to see what her daughter had said, she found this text:

“Do we have dryer sheets? I wanna do some laundry.”

Audra. Flawless.

In a case of ‘My How Things Change’ comes this tidbit … An LGBT community center has opened in Imperial County, California.  Not familiar with Imperial County? Well, here’s the back story:

After the passage of marriage equality in California, several anti-gay groups turned to the deeply conservative Imperial County because they needed a governmental body to defend Prop 8 when the state refused to do so.

Imperial County became the starting point for Prop Hate in 2008 and now, today, they have opened their first LGBT community center.

Times do change, though the march still goes on …

Early next year there's a big change coming to Playboy magazine. No more nudes; citing easy access to nekkid pictures via the internet, Playboy will stop with the nude pictorials.

So I guess folks really will be reading it for the articles.

We missed the democratic debates because of Audra and that was all well and good with me, but I did see a few snaps of that hot guy on my television later on.

Martin O'Malley. If I was a shallow type, or, let’s be real, a more shallow type, I might vote for him for president just to ogle him during each and every news conference and State of the Union Address.

Pedro Redding has been charged in the gang assault and murder of trans woman Keisha Jenkins last week in Philadelphia ... original post HERE.

A judge arraigned Redding on murder, conspiracy and weapons charges noting that he was among a group of “neighborhood individuals” who go around the city’s Hunting Park section robbing people.

So far no other arrests have been made and, again, I wonder how this isn’t a Hate Crime since Keisha Jenkins was murdered — beaten and then shot twice — and not just robbed.

So, there’s a commercial for Campbell’s soup that starts off with a Dad feeding his son, and saying, “Luke, I’m your father.” The camera pans back and there’s another man, who also says, “No, Luke, I am your father.”

Two gay dads feeding soup to their child and One Million Moms Seventy-Five-Thousand Moms wants a boycott.

You know what to do … to the soup aisle at your local grocer and stock up on Campbell’s!

American Horror Story: Hotel. Seriously? You expect me to believe that Lady Gaga would toss aside Matt Bomer for Finn Wittrock?

I mean, Finn can wittrock a pair of black lace briefs, but he’s no Matt Bomer.

So, the CW has cancelled America’s Top Model… about ten years too, late is what I’m thinking. But, Tyra Banks, who gave the world “smizing” — smiling with your eyes — is now giving us crazing, er, crying, and lyzing, um, lying, as she released this statement to Instagram:

TYRA MAIL! 

Thinking #ANTM #cycle22 should be our last cycle. Yeah, I truly believe it’s time. Our diehard fans know we’ve expanded the definition of beauty, presented what Flawsome is, tooched and booched and boom boom boomed, shown the world how to show their neck, rocked couture/catalogue/commercial poses, have found our (and your) light, strutted countless runways, gone on tons of go-sees, added guys to the girls mix, and have traveled around the globe and back again. Yeah, it’s time. It really is.

Wow, I am SO proud of what Top Model has done.

Bitch please. The CW kicked you to the curb. And, um, please to explain exactly what it has done?

Another Republican, Richard Hanna a New York Congressman, says the House Select Committee on Benghazi was formed solely to go after the reputation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

And let the Teabaggers begin the Hanna Bashing, though I might ask that, even if you don’t like Hillary Clinton, you’re okay with the GOP spending millions and millions of your tax dollars on a fake investigation?

Just saying.

Lamar Odom is reportedly still in a coma today after being found unconscious after an ALLEGED four-day coke binge at a Las Vegas whorehouse.

The whorehouse is not ALLEGED, however. But, true to form, the Kardastrophes have taken to brooms and flown to his side, after first stopping in hair and makeup and wardrobe, and brought along a camera crew because, well, if they don’t sell it to TV it didn’t happen.

To be fair, the Kardastrophe news channel, AKA TMZ, says the show is on hiatus so there were no cameras, but this is That Woman and her family so I’m kinda thinking that’s a lie because … November sweeps.
