All tag results for 'homophobia'

Look, we all know the anti-gay marriage clock is ticking.

We know equality (hey, what a great American concept) will soon prevail over the shrinking cloud of homophobia that rains on its followers.

Regardless, NOM (or National Organization for Marriage) hired Kirk Cameron to preach his infamous views on marriage — that unless it's a straight union, it's destined for doom! (above)

You know we've expressed our views on Kirk's contradictory statements before, the ones that aid in hindering American equality anyways.

But we thought you might like to know what GLAAD thinks about all of this.

Kathy Griffin is "immensely proud" of her dear friend Anderson Cooper for finally deciding to publicly come out of the closet.

However, she is completely aware of a sad reality that the LGBT community still faces in this day and age. In an article for the Daily Beast, the same publication in which Anderson declared he was gay, the comedian wrote:

As one of the most sparkling queens of country music, Carrie Underwood has a good chunk of her fan-base living in the bible-belt.

So when she decided to publicly support gay marriage, she endured some of the most fiery backlash we've ever seen!

It's funny too. Most of the people condemning Carrie used religion in their reasoning, yet it was their fiery feedback that roared with hate.

After being called a "disgrace" and being accused of working with the devil, Carrie finally responded to all of their hell in a statement, saying:

Anti-homophobia is the name of the game in Germany right now, and we are so pleased to see their latest ad-effort during the Euro 2012 games!

The poster (above) shows two soccer players in mid-kiss, which is a bit more than a brotherly show of affection!

It asks:

"Would you also beat up your favorite player for this?"

So. Fab.

Good luck to everyone playing in the tournaments!

Let's end homophobia everywhere, including sports!

Will, Will, Will!

You need to take a chill pill, Will! That's one slippery hill with a bill at the bottom that you do NOT want to pay! Let us fill you in, readers!

Will Smith SLAPPED a reporter across the face, with the back of his hand, when the reporter tried to kiss him on the red carpet for Men In Black 3 in Moscow!

The actor was kind enough to indulge in a hug, but then Will quickly reaches his fill of the PDA, he shoves the reporter back, and then b**** slaps him!

WTF!!!!

Afterwards, he said:

Wow! We completely applaud these students' courage and would like to join them in saying, "Let Dominic speak!"

Classmates at Sacred Heart Academy in Pleasant Hills, Michigan are just as appalled as we are that a man named Dominic Sheahan-Stahl was disinvited from giving a commencement speech at their graduation because he got engaged to a man.

In response to their school's bigotry, the students made a heartfelt YouTube video (above) that encourages America's youth to fight homophobia by not tolerating hate and to #LetDominicSpeak.

School officials reportedly folded to pressure from Bishop Joseph R. Cistone of the Diocese of Saginaw, but Dominic and his 6,000 supporters aren't.

Instead they have organized their own LGBT-friendly graduation ceremony at Central Michigan University, during which Dominic will get his chance to address those that will listen. Thanks to the all the support, the keynote speaker has never been more inspired in his life and said:

“Through the outpouring of love and support that I've received from family, friends, Sacred Heart students and many people I've never even met, I've come to realize that a majority of Catholics support their LGBT brothers and sisters. I was always taught that God is love and I hope that my brother and other students will come away from my speech with the knowledge that all people deserve to be treated equally.”

Right on! EQUALITY FOR ALL!!!
