The length to which people are willing to maintain that a manslaughtering white man is "not a bad guy" is amazing.

Well while we're on the topic, it also couched gay rights in judeo-christian terms, essentially validating ancient religious texts (which should have no bearing on human rights in a modern, secular government) as the foundation for determining who is moral and who is not. The Christian right had such a stronghold in…

Ah. I see that now. You spend a day outside of your routine and it's like you have to start over.

The topic that I was offering further exploration of was the unfortunate circumstance of being born with harmful sexual proclivities. I do think that pedophilic urges (can't say about rape) could be involuntary for the perpetrators and the linked article explores why it's important to give these individuals support…

If you're looking to explore a similar topic, there's a pretty difficult essay on Medium about a teenager who started having pedophilic urges when he was 16 but decided he had to do something to stop himself. Just because you're "born that way" doesn't give you carte blanche to abuse others, as the author of this…

"We recognize that same-sex marriage makes some people deeply uncomfortable," said Judge Henry Floyd

I'm not suggesting that only white people are allowed to wear the entirety of a J.C. Penney catalog. It's just a striking comparison to the twerkers and the B-boys that obviously is meant to scream "here are the normal kids, there were the weird ones." And the idea that POC would be whitewashed like this isn't a new…

No. The POC in that chorus line are literally relegated to the margins, and there are clearly not as many POC featured in the one-off solos. Everyone is also whitewashed in suburban attire, and the POC skew towards lighter skin tones. All things playing into a white-centric model.

You do realize this is the same issue, right? You do have some amount of logical analysis, correct? She (and Miley, Fergie, Gaga) only uses the parts of Black culture that are profitable for the benefit of the quirky, hey-we're-just-kids-being-kids audience. You've laid out two sides of the same problem. They're not…

Also at 3:09, when parody is stripped away, leaving the "real, genuine" dancers, those people are overwhelmingly white. smdh.

For a long time, I thought that Dog the Bounty Hunter was a made up show that no one really watched, like The Itchy and Scratchy Show or Dateline, but then I got invited to a 4th of July party where the hostess sat and watched it for 4 hours and my thoughts changed.

Is the pending commenting system going to be only for Jezebel and will being approved on one GM property allow commenter privilege elsewhere or just for that site?

Sounds great. I'll be sure to spread the word and share ROYGBIV's posts :-)

Great! I will definitely be keeping this in mind going forward, and I'm sure I'll be tweeting you in the next couple days with some LGBT+ content for you to peruse.

Hi Kat, I saw your request on Twitter for a guest post, and I wanted to introduce myself here to see if I could get more information on the opportunity. I've written a few pieces that have been shared to Powder Room and an essay that was shared on the main page last week, and I would love to write some new content for…

Anyone else picking up some Taylor Schilling?

Have we already confirmed she's not an animatronic?

Starts video with Perseid Meteor Shower reference to appear intelligent. Immediately refers to meteors as stars. ::Facepalm::

This seems like a convoluted version of the tips caveat in some minimum wage legislation that says as long as wages and tips meet the federal minimum wage, then the company is fine. I'm not a fan of that wrinkle in the laws, but it's not as uncommon as you might think. To me, what I find possibly a bigger problem is…
