It didn’t go exactly as he had planned, but Magic Johnson’s son harbors no ill feelings. In his first interview since TMZ outed him as gay, 20-year old E.J. Johnson said he had always planned on revealing his sexuality. So even if it “came a little sooner than I thought it would, this is still something I knew I would be going through and would have to experience.” EJ Johnson Interview The NYU junior tells Howard Bragman of the YouTube talk show Gwissues that he’s been “very blessed” to receive nothing but support from his family, which includes famous father Magic, mother Cookie and two siblings. Unfortunately, however, he has also been on the receiving end of some “nasty” comments online. “It’s almost like they’re attacking me for being me, and to that, I can only say, ‘Well, I can only be myself, so I don’t really know what you want me to do,'” E.J. says. These haters are not deterring the college student, at least. He hopes to be an influential voice in the media or on television: “I would love to have a talk show someday and just be another voice for [my] generation and, you know, be the voice for young gay people who need someone to be on TV or wherever else to talk to them, and talk about all kinds of issues that all of us face. Not just homosexual issues, but all kinds of issues.” We wish him the best in all future endeavors.
A Washington man has been charged with bigamy after Facebook revealed he was married to two different women, unbeknownst to either of them. Guess someone needs to up his privacy settings. Alan O’Neill, a 41-year-old state corrections officer, married a woman in 2001, separated from her eight years later, changed his name and remarried. The two wives revealed O’Neill’s deception when – you guessed it – they both noticed the other one as a “friend” on their husband’s Facebook profile. “Wife No. 1 went to wife No. 2’s page and saw a picture of her and her husband with a wedding cake,” Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist said. O’Neill’s first wife then called and confronted the mother of wife No. 2. “An hour later the defendant arrived at [the original wife’s] apartment, and she asked him several times if they were divorced,” court records show. “The defendant at that point said, ‘No, we are still married.'” With his deception revealed, O’Neill allegedly asked his first wife to not alert authorities to the bigamy, which is illegal under federal and state laws. However, she went ahead and reported his duplicity. The accused was previously known as Alan Fulk and currently works as a Pierce County corrections officer, sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer said. He was placed on leave from his job after being charged with bigamy, and officials say O’Neill faces up to a year in jail if convicted of that offense.
This teacher was not interested in pledging allegiance.. High School Teacher Under Investigation For Stomping American Flag In Front Of Students A Kentucky teacher has been placed on administrative leave following an incident where a class full of students claimed to have witnessed the instructor stomping on the American flag after tossing it to the ground during a class demonstration. via Fox News A South Carolina school district has launched an investigation into a high school teacher who allegedly threw an American flag on the floor and stomped on it as a classroom full of students watched. Mark Bounds, a spokesman for the Lexington –Richland5 School District, confirmed to Fox News that an English teacher at Chapin High School was placed on leave as they investigate the incident. “There were allegations that at a teacher took a flag down from the post in the classroom and stepped on that flag as part of the lesson,” Bounds said, indicating the act was repeated in several other classes. “It was not a spontaneous act, but one he worked into the lesson.” Michael Copeland’s daughter was in the classroom when the incident occurred. He told television station WIS that the teacher’s actions were disrespectful and unpatriotic. “He drew a couple of symbols, like one of them was a cross, and he said, ‘What does this represent’ and everybody said ‘Christianity,’” Copeland said. “Then he proceeds to take down the American flag and said, ‘This is a symbol, but it’s only a piece of cloth. It doesn’t mean anything,’ and then he throws it down on the floor and then stomps on it, repeatedly.” Sounds like somebody needs to learn some R-E-S-P-E-C-T if they’re going to be teaching the kiddies.
