I Didn't Say It ...

Beth Ditto, singer, shades Taylor Swift for her sudden LGBTQ activism:

“I was like, great anthem… straight white girl? Cool, thanks. Released just in time for Pride! I wonder where the proceeds are going for that, you know? That’s the thing that bothers me about it.”

I’m also bothered by the fact that Swifty was never very vocally pro-LGBTQ—she did donate to fight an anti-LGBTQ referendum in Tennessee last year—and then suddenly she has a video featuring every gay theme she can come up with; using the LGBTQ community as accessories in a music video.

Go.Away.Swifty.

Pete Buttigieg, on the anniversary of John McCain’s death, noting the death of the GOP under _____:

“John McCain did a remarkable job of reaching out to people of different persuasions. He was very convincing to independents because he did not appear to be dogmatic and he really prided himself, I think, on openness—especially with the press. I have taken a lot of lessons from that, even though my values and ideas are very different than his were. I do think he had that capacity to see across the aisle, to partner with others. Something that is on desperately short supply in the Republican Party right now. I think they are poorer as a party for having evolved from the party of John McCain to the party of [_____].”

McCain was never my favorite, but compared to _____ and the GOP of today, he was a saint.

Patricia Ward Kelly, Gene Kelly’s widow, in an open letter to Lara Spencerfor her slamming of Prince George taking ballet:

“In 1958, my late husband, the dancer, director, choreographer Gene Kelly, decided to take on the stigma facing male dancers in an Omnibus television program for NBC that he created and starred in called “Dancing, A Man’s Game.” He hoped that by aligning the great sports stars of the day—Mickey Mantle, Johnny Unitas, Vic Seixas, Sugar Ray Robinson, among others—he could challenge and destroy the shame surrounding male dancers once and for all. For Gene it was more than a professional task. It was, in his words, a personal “crusade” to show that dancers are athletes and that it is okay for a man to be graceful. As he says in the special: “What could be more graceful than a football player throwing a pass—what is more excitingly beautiful than the swift movement of a double play? Every motion a good athlete makes is as beautiful as any a dancer makes. Gene would be devastated to know that 61 years after his ground-breaking work, the issue of boys and men dancing is still the subject of ridicule—and on a national network. ABC must do better.”

Gene Kelly knew better in 1958., but 51 years later Lara Spencer, in a feeble attempt at humor, perpetuates gender roles.

Bill Maher, on the impending _____-created recession:

“I’m just saying we can survive a recession. We’ve had 47 of them. We’ve had one every time there’s a Republican president. They don’t last forever. You know what lasts forever? Wiping out species!”

Wiping out racist Republican presidents by voting them out helps, too. Oh, and remember that last recession, the one during W’s term that Obama fixed? Yeah, we can do that again.

Kanye West, speaking out of his ass on his new “fashion” line:

“I’ll be working on designs and looking at references from 3,000 years ago and reading the Old Testament at the same time. [Leviticus] says ‘You should keep my statutes. You should not let your cattle breed with a different kind. You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor shall you wear a garment of cloth made of two kinds of material.’ I tell my apparel team that the clothes that we’re using are of a single material. I remember sending a manager I used to work with a really rude email about how every time he wore this wool jacket with leather sleeves, he set culture back by ten years. So now I can send him the verse from the Bible that says, ‘You should not wear a garment of cloth made of two kinds of materials.'”

I wonder how this illiterate tool feels about shellfish and football and the LGBTQ community.

Candice Keller, Ohio State GOP Representative, blaming these last two mass shootings on gay marriage, drag queen advocates, and President Obama:

“After every mass shooting, the liberals start the blame game. Why not place the blame where it belongs? The breakdown of the traditional American family (thank you, transgender, homosexual marriage, and drag queen advocates); fatherlessness, a subject no one discusses or believes is relevant; the ignoring of violent video games; the relaxing of laws against criminals (open borders); the acceptance of recreational marijuana; failed school policies (hello, parents who defend misbehaving students): disrespect to law enforcement (thank you, Obama).”

Funny, you ignorant tool, the El Paso shooting blamed immigrants and channeled white supremacist hate speech from your party’s leader.

Not one word about The Gays, drag queens or even Obama.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Supreme Court Justice, and hero of mine, on people on the right trying to hurry her death:

“There was a senator, I think it was after my pancreatic cancer, who announced, with great glee, that I was going to be dead within six months. That senator, whose name I have forgotten, is now dead himself, and I, am very much alive.”

I saw a Tweet that said the first person that will live to be 150 has already been born, and someone replied that they hoped it was RBG.

So do I.
