But I'm not talking about whether or not he should feel compassion or whether he should use his family history as a catalyst for positive change, I'm addressing Ari Schwartz's specific question as to whether he has a moral obligation to apologize for or feel guilty about the terrible things his ancestors did and I

No, what my ancestor did was not related to money and he didn't profit from it financially and neither did any of his decedents (who were all extremely impoverished up until my generation).

My great-great grandfather was a terrible person who did something very awful (don't want to say what because I'd like to stay anonymous just in case anyone I know is reading, but there are books written about him). I feel no guilt about it and I feel no obligation of any kind to apologize for it. I think what he did

Toe nail extensions??????

Not just a floral jumpsuit- a floral jumpsuit that is both satin and sheer. Lord almighty, how bad can it get?

The farting rainbows thing is true though...and sometimes sunshine depending on what we've had to eat.

First, do you know how many parents are shown on various tv shows and movie? Many, many, many, many, so having one set of lesbian parents amongst the countless straight parents on a tv shows is also pretty damn rare. I am a real live gay person and I plan to have kids. I'm happy to see people like me on tv. It's not

I know lots of lesbian parents or lesbians who want to be parents. Just because you don't doesn't make it "forced and phony" or exceedingly rare.

Sarah Hyland has been knocking it out of the park recently. I normally wouldn't like something so shapeless, but she looks the perfect combo of retro and modern. Hate the shoes though.... They just scream 1997 to me

I do think it needs to be discussed. I want the discussion to happen; I'm just disappointed the way it is happening with a lot of commenters. I think I just expected more from this audience, which I probably shouldn't have.

I am seeing quite a bit of it. These are discussions that need to be had and I think the article does a good and fair job of talking about it, but I think many of the comments are not. I think there is a lot of misogyny amongst gay men, but I'm seeing a whole lot less of "let's discuss the misogyny amongst gay men"

I don't think they are the same. I'm talking about the person who literally said they hate gay people because one of their gay "friends" was shallow or another person who said they have never met nice lesbians in real life or the person who said they struggle to be friends with gay people. Some gay men are very

Why even bother with the "sorry?" You openly admit to judging an entire group of extremely varied people with different values, backgrounds, characteristics, races, genders, and experiences based on your experience with one person. You're not sorry.

Although I don't agree with every aspect, this a very thoughtful article, but it's really paining me to read these comments. I'm a lesbian, so I've experienced lots of misogyny in my life, and I've also experienced a lot of homophobia. It's great to examine misogyny in the context of gay men, but it's not okay that so

The fact that there isn't a written rule about it doesn't make the parents any less inconsiderate. No one is suggesting these parents be burned at the stake; they are rightly calling them out for being discourteous and bringing an infant to a clearly inappropriate venue

Isn't it common sense that children that can't be controlled (infants and young children) don't belong in fancy restaurants, plays, concerts, or other venues that require quiet? There doesn't need to be a written policy to know that's inappropriate.

She needs some new stylists if that is the case. I feel like her body is somewhat similar to Mindy Kaling's (smaller upper body, curvier hips), but Mindy always looks fantastic and Lena always looks a mess. Good posture and better more flattering clothes make a world of difference.

This was the Rockettes performing this year. Do you think children shouldn't be exposed to their outfits? I've personally never heard a peep from anyone about their revealing outfits.

My friend's dad used to totally do that!! Their whole family was used to it, but it always mortified me.

Exactly! Secretly confessing your undying love to your bff's wife when he's in the next room (and of course trying to make yourself look as sweet and romantic as possible in the process) is shady as fuck. I always hated that that storyline was seen as romantic.
