Supreme Court of Britain ruling that LGBT people living in parts of the world which aren't so open-minded can find refuge in the UK:“To compel a homosexual person to pretend that his sexuality does not exist or to suppress the behaviour by which it manifests itself is to deny him his fundamental right to be who he is. Homosexuals are as much entitled to freedom of association with others who are of the same sexual orientation as people who are straight.”
“I would tell Miley to go to college....It’s really, really important to get an education because when all of this is gone, then at least you have your education. Then you can do whatever it is you want to do. If tomorrow I decided to stop being an actor I could go do a lot of other things.
Knowing that makes me a whole person and have confidence in who I am as a whole person as opposed to confidence in who I am as just an actor. I’m capable of dealing with life things as opposed to having other people around me deal with all my life things, which I think is really important. She’s actually wildly talented, little Miley Cyrus, and she has a sweet family. If she went to college, she’d be totally set. She’d be set forever.”
“I gave them carte blanche. There was only one scene in the film that I had them remove and it involved Edgar. Melissa asked that it be taken out. There was a scene where I walk by Edgar’s photograph, and I say ‘Fuck you’ for what he did. Unless you’ve lived through a suicide, you don’t know what it’s like. You never get over being angry with someone who leaves you like that. They were very nice about taking it out.”Suicide is a very selfish thing to do, and leaves the "survivors" feeling angry at the ones who killed themselves.
"I've always been comfortable with who I am. When it comes to my sexuality, I just finished the chapter in my book [to be released in January] about my sexuality and my idea of it. I haven't discussed it—not because I'm ashamed of anything you'll read about when my book comes out—I just don't want to put it out there in a way where someone can twist my words. While I don't believe in masculinity and femininity, I don't believe in a purely gay person or a purely straight person. I have a very clear opinion of my own sexuality. I'm not saying anything about my sexuality because I want it to be out there in my own words."Did everyone get that?
"You must come and listen to the album. I hope you like it. It's great that it will be free to readers of your newspaper. I really believe in finding new ways to distribute my music. The internet's completely over. I don't see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They won't pay me an advance for it and then they get angry when they can't get it. The internet's like MTV. At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated. Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can't be good for you."
"I've spent my entire life pretending, pleasing others out of fear of losing my job or other opportunities. But in the end, you lose your identity, ultimately limiting yourself."I wonder if we can get Johnny Weir to spend a few minutes with Kenia.
"Puffy is a bitch. He wanted to be the hot bitch in his group… You know how an ugly bitch surrounds herself with pretty girls? Well, he is the pretty bitch with the other girls around him. He will suck the life out of everyone he is around. His music sucks. It's bad. He's not an artist anyway, so it doesn't really matter. When you think about it, is he a rapper? Because he says he doesn't write rhymes, he writes cheques. Nobody's buying ['Last Train to Paris'] he even said it himself that he doesn't expect it to sell."
Section 3 of DOMA defines "marriage" and "spouse" at the federal level as
constituting only opposite-sex couples. It reads:`In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the word `marriage' means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word `spouse' refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife.'.
It's seems like Wal-Mart is spending this two-million-plus to overwork OSHA just make the case go away, because, just in case any other Wal-Mart customers or employees are stampeded upon and injured, or killed, they shouldn't have to do what they've already done in the Nassau case.
Louisiana Governor, Bobby Jindal, has signed into law one bill which makes it legal to carry a gun into church, and another law which makes having sex with a minor a misdemeanor, along the lines of having sex with a prostitute.
Arnold got the Last Weeks Winner/This Week's Loser Edit from the moment the show started, so I wasn't surprised he was sent packing. But, after Lynne's refusal to cook the pasta until the last second--which is what ruined their dish--I was thinking, and hoping, he'd pack his knives in Lynne's neck and then go.
Tamesha getting the 10K was lovely. She's stepping out of the Middle-Of-The-Pack-So-No-Screen-Time squad. And Tiffany is, too; at least I think she is because I now remember her name.
Amanda playing the Poor-Me-And-Stephen-Nobody-Thinks-We're-Good sad song. No, honey, it isn't that they don't think you're good, it's that they don't like you.
Alex and his new role as top Chef Perv. Was I the only one who thought his comment about using his 10K if he won--which he didn't--on a whore and an eight-ball just a little off-putting? And his comment on how he doesn't so much cook for babies as try to make babies? Ick. Especially when you realize that when Alex tries to make babies he's usually alone, with soft lighting an an old stiff towel nearby. TMI.
Mike Isabella as one of the guest judges? Talk about scraping the bottom of the saute pan for the crusty bits. Misogynist fuck. And his comment that he liked the hummus inspired dish because he has hummus on his menu? Who the frick cares you asshat? I know, go figure, I still don't like Mike.
And Angelo's painted on smile when he realized maybe Kenny would go home was kind of evil and sick. His lack of using his low sexy voice this week was also sick, and evil. And it was sick how he was flirting with Tamesha. I may be getting over my Angelo.
Mainly because we had Bryan Voltaggio talking about the gnudi and all I could think of was when was he going to get gnudi? Stop snarling, you knew that was coming.
I loved Tom Colicchio's indignation at the fact that one of the cheftestants used canned beans. I was certain he was gonna leap over the table and go after them a la Joan Crawford: No canned beans EVER!!!!!!
Still, I was sad to see Arnold go. I don't get that while the judges thought his dish was fantastic, except for Lynne's undercooked pasta, that they chose Kenny and Kevin, who had no juice on their ribs--I will make no sexual joke here--and there was little to no horseradish in the tempura, which, for me, is cardinal sin one.
Linda Lingle:
his first year in office. When asked about marriage equality, he said, plainly: “It’s a priority.”
