tified Scirotto made clear his intention to promote based on race, gender, or sexual orientation. Fort Lauderdale officials announced, “We serve a very diverse community and that’s important. There are just certain ways that you can do that and do it legally, and other ways that meet that muster.” Scirotto said, “If promoting diversity is the hill I’m going to die on, I will sleep well tonight.”

Straight people in ‘BITCH’ fight over gay movie “The Power of the Dog” by New Zealand movie director JANE CAMPION is up for every big cinema award around. Cisgender, craggy heart throb, SAM ELLIOTT (who was not in the movie) praised Campion but dissed the movie, saying, the movie was a “piece of shit” because it wasn’t filmed in the American West, and “there’s all these allusions to homosexuality.” The last complaint seemed to indicate he missed the point of the film. Campion’s retort, “I’m sorry, he was being a little bit of a B-I-T-C-H.

A Quebec study found men burned only 101 calories on average during a 24-minute round of sex compared to a 30-minute session on an exercise bike which burned 276 calories. Some speculate this is just a marketing ploy by the gym as now you know where to go for public sex and then a hot shower in West Hollywood.

NFL defensive end released CARL NASSIB is the first active National Football League player to come out while signed to a team. The Las Vegas Raiders are releasing him and saving his $7.75 million base salary. The Internet commentariat opine Nassib’s performance doesn’t merit his salary. NLF.com, writing in an apparently a foreign language said, “His salary was too rich for a player who played just 242 defensive snaps and earned 1.5 sacks last season” Translation software indicates, “Defensive snaps are defensive plays in which a player participated, and sacks are the tackling of a quarterback making a forward pass.” Nassib revealed his gayness on Instagram last year with no apparent blow back from fans or in the locker room.
