So this happened here in Austin. Openly gay pastor made false claims about a homophobic slur on a cake and then gets called out for lying after surveillence video. http://www.statesman.com/news/business/whole-foods-taking-legal-action-against-cake-accus/nq7qt/

 

shit like that makes everything worse. sucks that any instance of falsehood blemishes something that still happens

 

@TheWater(s) watching these videos now. thanks for sharing.

 

It's really a great interview. He opens up a lot. I've been watching this kind of thing closely and trying to get involved in because ever since the policy change the rate of gay Mormons committing suicide has sky rocketed. It's so sad.

 

Billy Corgan is a vicious transphobe.

Not debating or making any arguments about the content of this story or what was said, but to be fair, you should mention this article you linked and based this post on is five years old.

 

If I'm being honest, I didn't notice that. Saw a bunch of people talking about (and taking shots at) Corgan, saw this article in the mix, read it, assumed it was recent for whatever reason and shared it accordingly. Whoops.

So yeah, that article is five years old. Wasn't my intention to mislead anyone. Unless he's issued some type of apology or something (which I didn't see in my quick Google search), then I'd say the statement still stands.

Edit: Well, here's a more recent interview he gave with Alex Jones in which he compares "SJWs" to the Klan and Maoists (and Jones uses the slur "tranny"). For some reason I doubt he's changed much.

Is there a list out there of cities/counties/states that allow transgender people to use the bathroom they identify with? I've found a list of places that don't allow discrimination for employment, but can't find one for the bathrooms.

 

I've seen one that maps out businesses with trans-friendly bathrooms in NC, but I don't believe I've seen one for the entire US.

So long Curt. This so-called conservative gladly took Rhode Island taxpayer dollars to fund his video game company which soon went bankrupt.

 

not surprisingly Ted Cruz is transphobic

 

I hate myself for liking Trump more than Cruz.

 

They're really going on the "PC train" here, lol

Also anyone from Raleigh knows how darn good Cooper's BBQ is. But this new post they put up in their window is just amazing.

Target says transgender people can use bathroom that aligns with their identity

 

Always love target, can't believe this is even an issue

 

Donald Trump backtracks on transgender bathrooms - Washington Times

Turns out Trump isn't really against the North Carolina law. He just thinks its a bad move for business reasons, but still supports the states right to be able to discriminate.

 

the only thing he's consistent on is the fact that he flip flops on fucking everything, i don't even consider his "stance" a stance because it's so clearly just whatever the fuck popped into his shitty head at that moment. still, not surprised he's espoused the shittier perspective after the republican base had time to bitch, fuck him

 

PAX East had a panel held by Nerds Want Equality on sexism in gaming on Sunday where it made transmisogynistic comments.

 

Do Trans Lives Really Matter?

Important article.

 

Just awful.

 

hm, looks like the law as it was intended is being enforced perfectly.
