John Cena, actor, wrestler, hot man, on supporting
his gay brother Steve Cena: “My brother was like a true nerd, and this is at the height of the 1980s, like Revenge of the Nerds. [But] our town wasn’t yet at the Revenge of the Nerds sort of state. Life was tough for my brother in high school. Not only was he an introvert and interested in computers. He’s also gay. And being gay in the 1980s in a small town in Massachusetts … man, that’s an uphill climb. He just had a lot of character traits that weren’t in the ‘cool kid’ group, and he’s also holding this secret that he can’t tell or talk to anybody about. I really feel for what it must have been like for him growing up. But I also inherited that chapter of his social constructs. And, man, it got me to learn how to lose a few fights [laughs]. That sort of behavior [of feeling protective of my older brother] started like at 10 years old for me. I don’t think I understood what was going on. Kids are harsh. They form cliques real fast. And we always just hung out with each other. There was enough of us to have a basketball team, which means we could do whatever we want. We want to play football or baseball, there’s enough of us. So we didn’t feel [that] we needed anybody else … If we could make it through school and get back to the house, all is fine. [I] took on the role of, ‘Hey, if you say something to [my] brothers, I will do my best to throw myself in harm’s way. It’s going to stop here.’” Without missing a beat, Cena shut down all of those
problematic questions about his older brother being gay. This would’ve already
been a great display of allyship in 2024 but twenty-plus years ago it was an
even bigger deal. Hot. Smart. LGBTQ+ Ally; what’s not to love? |

Ken Buck, recently retired GOP Congressman from Colorado, taking
Large Marge to CNN: “My experience with Marjorie [Taylor Greene] is, people have talked to her about not filing articles of impeachment on President Biden before he was sworn into office, on not filing articles of impeachment that were groundless made on other individuals in the Biden administration. And she was never moved by that. She was always focused on her social media account. And Moscow Marjorie is focused now on this Ukraine issue and getting her talking points from the Kremlin and making sure that she is popular and she is getting a lot of coverage.” Marjorie wants attention so give her attention by voting her
overwhelmingly out of office. |

Jesse Watters, Fox “News” host, saying there is no
difference between being gay and being transgender: “We adopted a young child, and at age five, he was playing with dolls, and everybody knew he was gay, or was going to be gay. And it’s not like all of a sudden we took him to the doctor and chopped him off. No one would ever do that … A lot of these people are just gay—or lesbian,” and what they’re doing is they’re intervening in a regular gay or lesbian life, and that’s a new experience, and it never used to be like that.” Yes, parents of boys who play with dolls take their boys to
doctors and have them castrated. This has got to be the biggest idiot on Fox News, and
consider their stable of morons that’s saying something. Oh, and Jesse doesn’t have an adopted son; he has four biological children, two each from his two wives, and I
hope none of them appear gender fluid lest Jesse start castrating them if
they’re boys, or forcing his daughters to have phalloplasty if they’re
Tomboys. |

Oliver Stark, actor on 9-1-1, clapping back at
online trolls upset over his character Buck’s queer storyline: “Humbled and overwhelmed by the positive reaction to Buck’s storyline. I’ve read so many of your messages, and I couldn’t be prouder. [But] if you are one of the smaller group of people commenting on my posts about how this has ruined the show. I would like you to know that I truly don’t care. This is a show about love and inclusion. It’s featured queer relationships from the very beginning, including a beautiful Black lesbian marriage played out by two of the best actresses I’ve ever watched. If one other character finds a new facet to his sexuality and realizing his bisexuality is your deal breaker—I fear you’ve missed the entire point of the show. [This] new arc is a really nice gift: the opportunity to delve into this storyline, to be involved in telling it. I feel very proud of the work and just to be a part of it.” Love is love is love. And if you don’t get
that, turn off the TV, get back into your cave, and STFU. |

Dan Crenshaw, GOP
Congressman from Texas, dismantling Tucker Carlson: “This is who Tucker is: a click-chaser. Tucker’s MO is simple: defend America’s enemies and attack America’s allies. There isn’t an objective bone left in that washed up news host’s body. Mindless contrarianism is his guiding principle, buttressed by his childish tactic to ‘juSt aSK quEsTiOns!’ But any educated adult, especially one with such a long career in journalism, should occasionally try answering some of those questions objectively. But he never does. Instead, he uses his platform to sow doubt and paranoia and false narratives. He does this for one simple reason: clicks and engagement, which of course translate to monetary benefit. He wants you to believe he is the last place you can go to for truth, that he’s the ONLY one brave enough to reveal the elitist lies being told. This nonsense about Christian mistreatment in Israel is just the latest example. Tucker will eventually fade into nothingness, because his veneer of faux intellectualism is quickly falling apart and revealing who he truly is: a cowardly, know-nothing elitist who is full of shit.” Wow, when the GOP starts coming for one of their staunchest allies, the party seems likely to crumble. Still, I’ll sit with my popcorn and watch this car wreck. |

Jamie Raskin, Democrat Congressman from Maryland,
shutting down a GOP colleague who claimed the Founding Fathers never
anticipated this level of undocumented immigrants at the border: “There was no immigration law when the Constitution was adopted. In fact, the only illegals in the country, at least according to the Native [American] population, were the people writing the Constitution.” The GOP likes to pretend that white people were here first
but we were, and are, immigrants and the descendants of immigrants in this
country. |
