I guess she was also disappointed when she realized she was white.

How awful. May this man's wife rest in peace.

Dude, thank you! I was like so her sisters coming out was all about Lena, not the sister. I was trying to cut her some slack and say that it was her acceptance speech, so maybe that's why she made it seem that way, but my brain wouldn't let me. Mainly cause it reeked of self absorption and pretentiousness.

It also troubles me immensely when someone of a privileged group romanticizes membership in a marginalized group. It usually occurs in those who misguidedly believe that just being black or gay or whatever automatically makes a person different and therefore interesting. And if there was any room for doubt, yes, I'm…

I thought so too, but there's no way she's joking in describing her incredibly privileged upbringing, which makes me wonder about the entire quote:

I have always felt a strong and emotional connection to members of the LGBTQ community. It was actually a huge disappointment for me, when I came of age and realized that I was sexually attracted to men. So when my sister came out, Ithought, Thank God, someone in this family can truly represent my passions and…

The word needs to be gotten out that this is illegal and people victimized for it can and should sue their employers over it. You can't fire someone for being injured (like I essentially was after being in a car accident), and you can't fire them for taking time off to care for an ill family member. If I'd had ANY…

When a story is so fucked up that even I can't joke about it, you know you're dealing with a terrible, TERRIBLE human being.

A lesbian's vision is based on motion. If you stay very still, she can't see you.

Has Breitbart become a comedy site now? Has SNL ever touted itself as a political news organization? If neither of those things has happened, this comparison is invalid.

I'm confused. You seem to be trying to apply the rules of logic to the conservative movement? That doesn't seem like a productive use of one's time.

Did they not realize that running the tagline "You can't make this shit up" over clearly doctored pictures makes no sense at all? I mean, it's a doctored picture, so clearly you can make that "shit" up because the person who doctored the pictures did make it up...because they're fake pictures. The phrase "you can't…

I love the way her dancing in between the tumbles makes it seem like she's saying "Yeah, I just did that awesome gravity defying thing. Here's my victory dance!"

All I'm getting in your post is contempt with a dash of barely concealed racism.

Well she *is* in college, you pedant/spoilsport/dreamcrusher.

Russell Wilson (Seahawks QB) goes to the children's hospital every Tuesday. Every. Single. Tuesday. I hate football, but I love that man.

It should also be added that Oktar is very heavily influenced by American Evangelical Christians and receives a lot of his support from them. In fact his whole "celebrity" was precipitated by American Creationists working on Turkish science curriculum.

I love truly genuine celeb do-gooders who do this stuff BEFORE it's an obvious PR stunt. He just seems more genuine in his tweet (compared with, say, Macklemore instagramming text conversations "altruistically").

My husband told me this yesterday and it made me cry then as well. I don't care why you do it, making a sick kid happy is a good thing. Always.
