Agreed. I did not know any out gay people until college when of course realistically there were plenty in my school. “Queer” hadn’t been reclaimed yet and it was thrown around pretty openly. More recently, I remember well the world of “don’t ask, don’t tell” in the military and how weird it was.In my job, you could be…

I think the issue is less...they did this thing back then. And more...why don’t they admit they were wrong when they’re called on it now?

Yep. Younger people tend to forget they were born into this world that was shaped by people of Cher’s generation. People who had to fight to get where we are today, people who held racist, sexist, homophobic views who have changed with exposure and education. Hell not even just Cher’s lifetime. In my lifetime. Just…

The freak show was replaced by real Housewives of Orange County.

First, I’ve got a stomach ache reading this and all I can really say is that I’m so sorry to hear that you’re still in this situation. It sounds lame and cliche but I sincerely mean it, and I hope that you’ll finally find some peace soon. I was married to an absolute monster and, though I got away 12 years ago, he…

I am so sorry you are having this experience. I am still suffering the emotional abuse from my ex-husband after a divorce that lasted 2 years. I am also a lawyer, and it did not make it magically easier to get through the court system, which no one seems to understand. Instead, I’m more resigned that I can only do so…

That’s exactly why I stayed with my abuser for so long and why I never reported when he raped me. Because I’m a lawyer. And I know that the law cannot and will not help me.

Her story should make it crystal clear to all the idiots who ask why so many women don’t come forward. Because this idswhathappenswhen you do.

I enjoyed his early work (Basketball Diaries, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape...) but in everything he’s done in the past 20 years I’ve always felt that Leonardo DiCaprio’s performance style can best be described as “the best actor in a high school theater troupe.”

Q: Is there a difference between butt grabbing and rape?

That is so sad. Since the Rio Olympics ended it seems they stopped reporting on Zika. Is it still spreading and have they gotten closer to a vaccine? So many things going on in the news with the idiot in the hate house ...auto corrected my bad spelling of white and it’s so much more fitting that I am leaving it!

Man.

Today we no longer recognize the universal truth: that God is the author of our life and liberty.

Typical sexual predator. He can’t take “no” for an answer.

Holy shit, I didn’t know that. Is there a book or longform article I can read about that history? I mean, I’ve always known that the institution of policing in the US is systemically racist, but everything I know about the development of policing as an institution is about English policing, so I’m totally ignorant…

Dana Schwartz is ahead of you:

The older I get the less guilty I feel about absolutely not caring if certain terrible people drop dead. And by dead I mean dead, just gone.

Good Work, Alabama. You barely did the right thing!
