Brian J. Smith is best known as Will Gorski on Netflix’s “Sense8,” one of the most gay and trans friendly series ever aired. Still, it took him until the December issue of Attitude magazine to finally come out as a gay man. Growing up in Texas while gay was certainly challenging for everyone who had to go through that, and I am sorry he felt he had to wait so long to publicly be who he is. If you have not seen Sense8 on Netflix, it is an amazing sex positive science fiction series and one of the most complicated productions ever attempted. It was filmed all around the world with actors literally doing the same scene in different countries at the same time. You have to see it to understand it (it does have a number of sex scene so that is another big plus. It is from the directors of The Matrix, even though both brothers have changed gender since then.
I will admit that I am not a Kanye West fan. His popularity is as baffling to me as his pal’s Donald Trump. He is also a self-proclaimed genius in the same way that Trump his. He just stated that he might change his name to Christian Genius Billionaire Kanye and run for president. According to Forbes, he is not a billionaire, something else he might have in common with Trump. Despite his career as a misogynistic rapper where he refers to women as fuckin’ hos, and his appearance at the Pornhub Awards singing lyrics that degraded women more than anything in porn videos, he has converted to the Trump version of Christianity fueled by con artist evangelical mega church leaders. Why do we in this country have such a desire to follow awful megalomaniacs with serious mental health issues? After years of making his wife dress like the whore he thinks women are, he now insists that she change her image and dress more conservatively. Kim Kardashian got famous for a sex tape and is essentially now famous for being famous. If she can’t dress sexy any more, what has she got left?
A new report from GLAAD shows that LGBTQ characters have hit an all time high. This is the 24th year they have tracked LGBTQ characters on television, and things have come a long way since the early days of tracking, and even since thier first official report 15 years ago. They praised the CW’s “Batwoman,” Pop TV’s “Schitt’s Creek” and FX’s “Pose” for making particularly strong strides in LGBTQ representation. Batwoman is an openly lesbian character played by an openly lesbian actress. Of the 879 series regular characters expected to appear on broadcast primetime scripted programming in the coming year, 90 (10.2 percent) were counted as LGBTQ. There were an additional 30 recurring LGBTQ characters on broadcast. It is the streaming services that have really opened things up. Netflix, Amazon and Hulu accounted for 153 LGBTQ characters. Showtime is the most LGBTQ-inclusive network with 38 regular and recurring LGBTQ characters expected on the network’s primetime scripted series. Transgender characters have also increased, with a total of 38 across cable, broadcast, and streaming. There are also a lot of characters who are bisexual in prominent roles, such as “The Good Place’s” Eleanor played by Kristen Bell, with a total of 128 characters. There is a category called Bisexual+ which includes people who identify as bisexual, pansexual, fluid, and queer, and they are now the majority of the self-identified LGBTQ community.
Speaking of misogynistic rappers, T.I. ( Clifford Joseph Harris Jr. ), has some very odd ideas about women. Be glad you are not his daughter. She is Deyjah Harris, and not at all creepy daddy insists on going with her to the gynecologist to make sure her hymen is still intact. He says this is to protect her. I sort of get it, considering all the women he has knocked up, but just because your hymen is no longer intact does not mean that you are not still a virgin. And he is still doing this despite the fact that she is 18. Does he watch the exam to make sure? Does he also prohibit her from listening to his lyrics which are drenched in exploitative sexuality? Should we not be surprised that he thinks a woman should not be president? Deyjah should just use a finger and claim it was a horse riding accident. Until then, she is limited to oral and butt stuff. T.I. is a vile misogynist and violent drug using felon who thinks of women as objects, so of course he has his own reality series.
Last month we announced the sad new of the death of 40 year old adult star Jessica Jaymes. At the time, there was still no official cause of death. The report has come out, and we learned she has been struggling with health issues for quite awhile and died from a seizure.
How can you not love Chrissy Teigen and sexiest man alive husband John Legend? I am biased, as Legend is the current voice of my Google Assistant. Two of the legendarily sweetest people in show business have been accused by Trump supporters of being involved in a pedophile ring. They are in good company, as apparently all Democratic politicians are also involved in pedophilia, at least in Trump and Q world. She responded with an epic 7 part tweet that included “ u know what is not great? I still have to read on social media many times a day that John and I are pedophiles and look at photoshopped/miscaptioned photos of us on “Epstein Island” and I just have to deal with it because “people are crazy these days … If I take legal action, it gets worse because then, to them, it’s true and I’m trying to ‘silence’ them… I hate what some people have become and what social [media] has done for this kind of reach… It sucks… anyhow that is my morning rant. fuck you, fucking miserable Q shitfucks, you absolute fucking losers… And now they’ll post this too, and it’ll get even worse. I’m just so fucking tired.” Trump world has exhausted all of us. She became a Trump world enemy when he attacked her and her husband on Twitter.
The sleazy one in the battle between a president and a porn star turns out to be the president. Donald Trump is going after Stormy Daniels to get money from her. He wants $300,000 from her to settle her loss in her defamation suit against him where he absolutely defamed her and really did lie about her and really did pay her off illegally to keep quiet yet she is the one who is supposed to pay. In the Trump Era, justice is turned on its head. She is fighting back. Daniels’ attorneys asked a judge to rule the Trump demand “null and void,” saying that she still has an active appeal in the defamation suit against Trump—meaning that the attorney fee award may yet be overturned. It is becoming increasingly clear that she was abused and defrauded by just about every lawyer involved on her side. I am hoping she has a better lawyer now.
