Source: Mario Tama / Getty Elizabeth Warren’s Response To Marriage Equality Question Elizabeth Warren had a VERY spicy answer for a gentleman who asked her how she would respond to a supporter telling her that they don’t believe in gay marriage at the CNN Equality Town Hall. We can’t even lie, this response was so good that it almost feels staged, but we’ll give Liz the benefit of the doubt. The way she sauntered away, brimming with self-satisfaction, do you Stan?

The “ Old Town Road ” rapper said in tweets that he thought his sexuality was ‘obvious’ because of his album artwork and lyrics to his song “C7osure”. Lil Nas X reiterated that he was indeed celebrating his sexuality for the people not paying much attention. In a series of tweets, the rapper began by saying, “some of y’all already know, some of y’all don’t care, some of y’all not gone fwm no more. but before this month ends i want y’all to listen closely to c7osure.” some of y’all already know, some of y’all don’t care, some of y’all not gone fwm no more. but before this month ends i want y’all to listen closely to c7osure. pic.twitter.com/O9krBLllqQ — nope (@LilNasX) June 30, 2019 Immediately after the revelation, jokes flew and the rapper was a good sport about it. lmfaooo https://t.co/rjWoG7icM4 — nope (@LilNasX) June 30, 2019 In his song ‘C7osure’, Lil Nas sings: Ain’t no more actin’, man that forecast say I should just let me grow No more red light for me, baby, only green, I gotta go Pack my past up in the back, oh, let my future take a hold This is what I gotta do, can’t be regretting when I’m old Does this sound like he was coming out, to YOU? deadass thought i made it obvious pic.twitter.com/HFCbVqBkLM — nope (@LilNasX) June 30, 2019 Good for him, though!

Source: SplashNews / Splash News Marlon Wayans Responds To Negative Comments On Post About Gay Daughter It almost goes without saying how much Marlon Wayans loves his kids. The actor/comedian created a whole show “Marlon” about his life as a single dad which ran for two seasons on NBC — so we don’t know why anyone in their right mind would have the nerve to speak a peep negative about his babies — but a couple of bold MF’ers did. Marlon set them fools straight real quick too. And we’re proud of him. View this post on Instagram Happy pride to my pride and joy. I wouldn’t change one effing thing about you. Love you to the moon around the sun through the galaxies and back again. A post shared by Marlon Wayans (@marlonwayans) on Jun 2, 2019 at 7:44pm PDT On Sunday Marlon posted this photo of his daughter Amai, 19, with the rainbow sole of her shoe showing along with the caption: Happy pride to my pride and joy. I wouldn’t change one effing thing about you. Love you to the moon around the sun through the galaxies and back again. How beautiful is that? Acceptance and support means the world to most children and Marlon was quick to prove himself ready to go above and beyond. Many of his followers flooded his comments with hearts and messages of support, such as this one: every queer kid deserves a parent like this and this one: Wow you’re a great parent!! She’s lucky to have you!! But not every comment was in support of Marlon’s choice to embrace his daughter: Take this guy hating from the sidelines (and not alone either, the comment received over 400 likes): She’s not old enough to understand what that’s really all about. You have the power to change lives Bro, don’t teach her that Rather than delete the comment, Marlon quickly shut down the argument by saying: “She’s 19. She’s who she is until or until she don’t [sic] choose different. Love her for her not what I want her to be.” Beautiful response. Then there was this one, also not alone in his or her ignorance (with nearly 300 likes) who commented: You think if you support her you are good ??? Being a parent is not about saying yes to everything no you need to say yes on the good things only now just one question if you really support her would you give up being a grandfather because of this stupid decision that she made because as last as remember two girls can’t make a baby Marlon addressed this as well, a little more firmly too! “there’s technology and i got the means,” Marlon responded. ” so thank u shallow fu**er. Go hate your own kids.” There was also someone who simply said “D—n unfollow. Sad s—t.” “Bye,” Wayans commented back with a waving hand emoji. We already loved him, but this just added an extra layer of respect due. There are so many people walking around the world with battered and bruised hearts and egos because their parents didn’t show them this kind of unconditional acceptance. Kudos to Marlon for this.

Source: Frederick M. Brown / Getty Jerrod Carmichael Tells Mom He’s Be Romantic With Men In ‘Home Videos’ Jerrod Carmichael in partnership with HBO released a new special called Home Videos where he has intimate conversations with his family about a variety of topics including the Black experience in America, politics, and R. Kelly. One moment that stood out is a part of the conversation where Jerrod asked his mother Cynthia to recount the time she found out her husband was cheating on her. During the conversation, Jerrod asked his mom if she’s ever been attracted to women before telling her this according to TVLive : “I’ve hooked up with dudes before,” Carmichael revealed, after Cynthia said she’d never had those feelings for a woman. Her response? “Well, OK. That’s your option. I like men.” The conversation ended shortly after that exchange, and there was no further discussion of how Carmichael labels his sexuality. In another part of the special Jerrod poses to his family the age-old question about bringing a white girl home to meet them. You can only guess how that went. Thoughts on Jerrod’s revelation about male romance?
Source: The Washington Post / Getty Pete Buttigieg Explains How He’ll Respond If Trump Used Homophobic Attack South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg is running for President against Donald Trump (and dozens of other Democrats) in 2020. We all know that Trump has no problem attacking people with specific insults, especially people he considers to be “other”. During a visit to TMZ Mayor Pete was asked about how he would respond if Trump came at him with homophobic remarks. You can hear the answer in the video below. We don’t put it past Trump to come up with some type of insult aimed at Buttigieg’s sexuality. It would be very on-brand.

Attorney’s representing the actor say that he will mount an “aggressive defense” against the charges that he’s a liar who has wasted the department’s time on a goose chase. Source: Emma McIntyre / Getty Under Illinois law, filing a false police report can result in a ONE to THREE year prison sentence. As aggressively as the CPD is pursuing this case against Jussie, we wouldn’t be surprised at all if the D.A. actually tries to send him to prison if he’s convicted.

To make matters worse, Plies didn’t have a permit for the weapon and was charged with felony carrying of a concealed weapon. Sources close to Plies say he mistakenly grabbed the wrong bag while packing and is fully claiming possession of the gun. Why the hell do rappers use this same excuse when they get caught with guns at airports? Why is there always a random gun in a random bag? SMH. Peep the video below. Free Plies?
Silja Magg Amandla Stenberg Talks To Seventeen Magazine About Body Confidence, Sexuality And Being Natural Congratulations to Amandla Stenberg , who is gracing the cover of Seventeen Magazine’s October/November Issue. Amandla Stenberg has been called a lot of things by a lot of people. She’s an “intersectional feminist superstar,” “the voice of a generation,” and whom Beyoncé wants Blue Ivy to be like when she grows up. Amandla, who turns 20 in October, is all of those things—as well as an actress (in films like The Hunger Games ; Everything, Everything ; and The Darkest Minds ); a fighter for social justice (her video “Don’t Cash Crop My Cornrows” started a Tumblr storm about cultural appropriation in 2015); and an important voice in the conversation about gender and sexuality. Soon, she’ll take on her most meaningful—and controversial—role yet: gutsy Starr Carter in The Hate U Give (out October 19), based on Angie Thomas’s best-selling novel about a teen who witnesses her friend get shot by a police officer. Check out some dope quotes from Amandla about her thoughts on body confidence, sexuality and more when you continue. On body confidence: “Being in entertainment can be hard—if you were to meet actors in real life, you’d probably be surprised at how tiny they are. I’m not a hella-skinny person—I’m petite, but I’m low-key slim-thick—and I’ve had people put pressure on me to lose weight or oversexualize my body because it doesn’t look infantile. People often say my boobs are too big. There have been several moments when I was filming a scene and someone came over with a small sports bra and said, “Put this on real quick. Your boobs look too big on camera.” You’re conceived of as too much if you have, like, thighs. It’s ridiculous! I try to only work in spaces now that make me feel comfortable. It’s challenging, but I’d rather be healthy and happy and love my body.” On self-discovery and coming out twice: “Gender and sexuality are so fluid—it’s okay to change your mind a million times and figure out what works for you. It’s okay to take your time… I’d been out as bisexual, and people have known I’m queer for a long time. I saw some comments that made me chuckle, like, “Girl, we been knew!” But I wanted to make it very clear that I have romantic love for women. I realized I had so much internalized homophobia and so much discomfort around hooking up with dudes. I always knew that when I hooked up with girls, it was the happiest I’d been in any sexual dynamic. I love that we have this umbrella term of queer, and so many things can exist underneath it, but I realized that part of my journey was hiding underneath that umbrella, because I was scared—on a personal and a public level—to confront what I was. It was easier for me to say “I’m bi” or “I’m pan” as I was figuring it out. But I came to a place where I felt really proud of my sexuality, and I decided I wanted to share that pride.” Don’t you think this is something many women who identify as something other than heterosexual struggle with? There’s gotta be a lot of pressure to be bi or something more acceptable right.
