Ezra Miller admonished a police officer for calling them 'sir' and explained they identified as 'transgender non-binary' during their arrest in Hawaii back in March. In newly-released body cam footage from the arrest obtained by TMZ, Miller warned the officer that failing to refer to them by their proper pronouns again would be an 'intentional act of bigotry' and a technical 'hate crime.' Miller, 29, who uses they/them pronouns and came out as queer in 2012, and said in a 2018 interview with The Hollywood Reporter: 'Queer just means no, I don't do that. I don't identify as a man....

Gov. Brian Kemp has signed into law a bill that modernizes some of Georgia’s rules around HIV-status disclosure. Under the prior law, any person living with HIV who did not disclose positive HIV status prior to a sexual act could face a felony charge punishable by up to 10 years in prison, according to Georgia Equality, an LGBT advocacy group. The revised law is narrower in scope. Now, Georgia law penalizes only those sexual acts performed by a person living with HIV “with the intent to transmit HIV” when the act “has a significant risk of transmission based on current...

It urged college and university students, immunocompromised individuals, people living with HIV and men who have sex with men to get vaccinated against the disease immediately.

"We'll CONVERT Your Children" (Woke Indoctrination Machine)

It's remarkable to me how people don't hear the words coming out of their mouths. MSNBC wanted a sob story from a teacher about how Ron DeSantis' "Parental Rights in Education" bill is adversely affecting them. That's the legislation that critics call the "Don't Say Gay" bill, but people who have read it know it just says teachers can't push sex and gender on kids 3rd grade and under. MSNBC chose Cody Bernaert, who is upset he can't talk about his personal life to his students anymore. He teaches kindergarten. In other words, five-year-olds. "My kids do have questions. They...

As Twitchy reported, Disney CEO Bob Chapek got himself into really hot water with Disney employees by not vocally opposing Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill. He did eventually call Gov. Ron DeSantis to express his “disappointment” and “concern” and sent an apology email to staff for not speaking up sooner, but that didn’t stop employees from staging a walkout. Now the bill is law and Disney says it “remains committed” to seeing the law repealed.To soothe the hysterical employees, Disney held an all-hands video conference, and Christopher Rufo has obtained footage. Disney really is dedicated to promoting queerness —...

A Disney executive in charge of content vowed to up the ante on gender politics during an all-hands meeting, promising that at least half of the characters in its productions will be LGBTIA or minority by the end of the year. General entertainment president Karey Burke choked up during the company-wide Zoom call Monday, saying the issue hit close to home because of her children. 'I'm here as the mother of two queer children, actually, one transgender child and one pansexual child, and also as a leader,' she said. During the same all-hands meeting, television animation executive producer Latoya Raveneau...

he 18-year-old pedophile at the center of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson's Senate hearing said he was shocked to see his name in the news, but admitted what he did was 'monstrous.' Wesley Hawkins, now 27, was scurrying around D.C. looking for a new job while Senate members were discussing his case at length in a nationally televised SCOTUS hearing, unbeknownst to him. He was aware that Jackson, 51 - the judge who had sentenced him to three months in jail and 10 years on the sex offender registry for child pornography in 2013 - was before Congress as...

On top of that, the company, which remained publicly apolitical for decades, has increasingly taken a hard-left stance. But not everybody at Disney subscribes to this bow to the LGBTQ lobby. A group of Disney cast members has written an anonymous open letter to the company’s management asking Disney to remain neutral. The letter is powerful and poignant, which is exactly what you’d expect from a company known for its storytelling. “As employees of the Walt Disney Company, we believe in the dignity of all people,” the letter begins. “This is why we do what we do.” These cast members...

After the controversy surrounding Disney’s response to Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill, Pixar has added a same-sex kiss back into the upcoming film “Lightyear.” On March 9, Pixar employees released a statement directed at Disney leadership stating they had been forced to cut “nearly every moment of overtly gay affection… regardless of when there is protest from both the creative teams and executive leadership at Pixar.” Variety now reports that a moment of gay affection has been added back into “Lightyear.” The character of Hawthorne, voiced by Uzo Aduba, is seen in a meaningful relationship with another woman. According to...

Defense attorneys filed papers to have Ed Buck’s convictions for providing the drugs that killed two men in his West Hollywood apartment overturned, arguing that the government “kink-shamed” the defendant by pointing the jury toward his sexual fetishes in an effort to obscure the lack of proof supporting the charges, according to documents obtained Friday by City News Service. An attorney for Buck wrote that the two men, Gemmel Moore and Timothy Dean, suffered multiple underlying medical conditions that caused their deaths, not the methamphetamine they ingested. Buck was convicted not on the prosecution’s drug distribution evidence, but on “extremely...

In an impassioned and tearful testimony this week, Florida state Sen. Shevrin Jones pleaded with his colleagues to vote against the state legislature’s controversial Parental Rights in Education bill, known to its critics as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. Like other LGBTQ+ advocates, Jones, who is the state Senate’s first openly gay member, argued that the bill, which prohibits classroom instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity that is not “age appropriate or developmentally appropriate” for children, would likely force LGBTQ+ students further into the closet and stigmatize the experiences of people who are not heterosexual or cisgender.

A pilot study funded by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that could potentially lead to changes to blood donor eligibility for men who have sex with men is underway and seeking participants in 8 U.S. cities.

National Institutes of Health paid $205,000 to study transgender monkeys just as the omicron variant of COVID-19 was sending untold numbers of Americans to the hospital. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) — the division headed up by celebrity medical spokesmodel Anthony “Doctor” Fauci — gave your tax dollars to Scripps Research to try and find out why transgender women are so prone to HIV infection. I know what you’re asking: “Who amongst us, for 200 large, wouldn’t put a monkey in a dress?” For half a million, I’d dress up with it. Not that I’m into...

VIDEODuring his July 1, 1986 testimony before a Congressional Committee on the status of AIDS drug development, Anthony Fauci was stunned into silence due to being unable to answer why there were only 1000 patients involved in clinical testing. After desperately searching his mind for an answer during his silence he finally came up with a lame bureaucratic answer: "limited resources."
