All of the props to Wende for being so open about her decision-making.

Thank you, Wende.

and this type of “sex” aka rape is being normalized to women and girls and men and boys who watch this shit. 

I talk to my male from ends about this. They all deny watching porn where the woman seems uncomfortable and I deeply believe they are lying. 

a standard industry practice in which a performer typically says on-camera that everything that happened in the shoot was consensual before receiving their paycheck. “I said that everything went fine and I had a good time,” she said in a text. “But I was holding back tears because you don’t get paid if you say you…

Holy shit I didn’t realize they had to go through a consent video before getting paid.  That’s revolting. 

This is Dirtbag which would hardly seem the place to post about her. She got admitted to Thailand, BTW. So there is good news on that front.

Yeah he also made some asinine comment about how it’s not his life’s dream to be an ally and he’s not interested in that gig, so I doubt he’ll be making any visits like that.

I am a Black queer person so following this story closely. One thing missing from his apologies is a clear understanding of why the comments are so toxic. Don Lemon laid out the high rates of child abuse and homelessness Black LGBTQ youth face due to parents with this exact “my kid could never be gay” attitude. The…

Don Lemon called his ass out, he has not been all over the place apologizing, he apologized on Ellen for the first time. He’s not sorry and he’s not done being a homophobe, he just doesn’t want to jeopardize his career 

I listened to the bit Don Lemon played last night (i.e. not the whole podcast, so maybe there was more or better context) and what resonated most was the angry tone in his voice. He doesn’t think he should have to apologize, so it’s hard to take it as an apology. He used the same line about the times being more…

Kevin Hart’s ‘apology’ is the equivalent of “I’m sorry you feel that way.” It’s a non-apology and I completely agree that he continues his “Once again, I’m sorry” thing is because he got caught and it’s messing with his income.

Calm the fuck down, January; we still have a whole year of horror to endure.

That's some Gilead-level dystopian present bullshit right there. 

Because RuPaul is has misogynistic streak, in that Gen X, gay dude way. Like, the show is fun, and in general, he’s done a lot more good than bad for the world, but it’s definitely there.

Come on, Ru!!! You didn’t ask Sharon Needles to change her name and though I think it’s clever and no foul there, could be construed as “bad taste.” Questionable call.

That dress is hilarious.  I once went as a slutty tampon for Halloween, and it’s still my favorite costume ever.

Manila is maxi-padded for the gods! How could Ru & co pass up all the potential puns for this lewk?

Sigh. THIS right here is why I think there are hard limits to cis men doing drag (be they gay or straight) and claiming it’s 100% ok and they are 100% respectful.

I like that some of the doctors qualify the question with a response that it depends upon “who” is experiencing the pain. Indeed, everyone rates their particular pain to their own scale of experience. If someone has never experienced severe chronic pain or a significant physical injury, they have an underdeveloped…
