Donald Trump Told George Takei He Attended A Lovely Gay Wedding; Still Opposes Gay Marriage; Still Sucks
We’ve grown ever-so weary of hearing about/from Donald Trump, and yet we feel compelled to tell you what the mega-rich humanoid bottle of Orangina told George Takei over lunch several years back.
Speaking to Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC’s The Last Word, Takei claims, “When I met him, he said, ‘You know what, George? I just came from a gay marriage’ — he had come from a wedding of a very important Broadway personality, Jordan Roth [who married the producer Richie Jackson]… He told me, ‘They’re good friends of mine. It was a beautiful marriage. They’re wonderful friends.’”

However, the bloated blowhard didn’t stop there, couldn’t stop there, because he must always speak, lest the world spin off its axis.
When Takei asked Trump why he doesn’t support same-sex marriage, Trump responded, “‘Well, I’m for traditional marriage.’ We finally agreed to disagree — he was for traditional marriage, despite the fact that he’d been married three times. That is not traditional.”
Takei has no problems with Trumps’ triptych of failed marriages, because “you want to find the person that you love, but the important thing here is to understand that our democracy is a dynamic democracy, and our Constitution is a living document, it’s not carved in stone,” Takei opined.
Sadly, Takei didn’t ask Trump why the tanlines around his eyebags are so pronounced, you can make out his preferred brand of sunglasses.

Tom DeLay: Justice Department Wants To Legalize Sex With Animals and ‘Little Boys’ – VIDEO
Just when you thought these people couldn’t get any more offensive – or ridiculous, Tom DeLay has announced that there is a “secret memo” from the Justice Department that aims to legalize “12 new perversions” including sex with animals and “having sex with little boys,” reports Right Wing Watch.
For good measure, DeLay added that gays are out for some Christian blood.
Speaking with Newsmax host Steve Malzberg yesterday, the former GOP House leader and Dancing With the Stars contestant said:
“We’ve already found a secret memo coming out of the Justice Department.
“They’re now going to go after 12 new perversions, things like bestiality, polygamy, having sex with little boys and making that legal. Not only that, but they have a whole list of strategies to go after the churches, the pastors, and any businesses that tries to assert their religious liberty. This is coming and it’s coming like a tidal wave.”
Malzberg bizarrely concluded the interview by saying “nothing would surprise me.”
Watch a May discussion with Malzberg in which DeLay compares the fight for LGBT rights with Islamic extremists “forcing someone’s belief down [the throats of] other people”, below:

More Than One In Eight Americans Unaware They Have HIV, Says CDC
The Centers for Disease Control has issued a report that more than 1.2 million Americans are currently living with HIV, including about 156,300 who aren’t aware of it.
That adds up to about 13 percent of people carrying the virus who aren’t adequately prepared to manage their own health and pose a high risk of infecting others.
The L.A. Times reports that the White House has set a goal for 90 percent of people infected to be aware of their status. As of 2012, only four states — Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii and New York — had met that benchmark, the CDC stated last week during a Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
Colorado came very close, and another seven states — Alaska, Idaho, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota and Vermont — may be meeting the target but didn’t have enough new HIV cases in recent years to provide a reliable estimate.
Louisiana ranked lowest in HIV awareness at 77 percent.
Among men who have sex with men — a group that accounts for about 60 percent or new infections per year — only Hawaii met the 90 percent goal, though New York came close and estimates suggest Alaska, Maine, Montana and Vermont have also hit the mark.
Moral of the story? Go get tested.

Jon Stewart Congratulates Conservatives On Their ‘WTF’ Wins At SCOTUS: VIDEO
On last night’s The Daily Show, host Jon Stewart took to task the so-called “conservative victories” at the Supreme Court this week. Stewart was referencing decisions that upheld the constitutionality of lethal injection and overturned new EPA regulations aimed at limiting the amount of mercury power plants are allowed to release into the air.
Said Stewart,
“So yes gay people have the right to marry and poor people have the right to insurance but on the bright side Americans can still kill prisoners painfully and everyone else slowly.”
Watch the two part send-up of these ‘WTF’ wins, below:
