TV Host Decrees Himself An “Ignorant Tool” For Telling Lame Transgender Jokes
TV Host Decrees Himself An “Ignorant Tool” For Telling Lame Transgender Jokes
Mistakes were made, and subsequently atoned for. On Thursday morning, Australian television host Karl Stefanovic raised the ire of Today Show viewers with offhanded remarks about the transgender community, referring to them as “trannies.”
Stefanovic and his co-host Sylvia Jeffreys were discussing an odd incident involving Channel Nine journalist Christine Ahern, a cameraman, and a security guard, all of whom were embroiled in a confrontation with a transgender person on a Rio beach after she tried stealing from the crew.

Jeffreys remarked that Stefanovic was “no stranger to the ways of the tranny” and said she had “fought off tougher trannies” before. He joined in kind, holding up a poster of actor Hugo Weaving in drag from The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and claiming he might be the suspect police were searching for.
“We’ve got a confit (police sketch) done up and we know not all trannies look the same,” he said. “Is that the tranny there that we’re talking about, Hugo Weaving like?”
Now, he’s stepped forward to publicly apologize for those remarks, saying he often laughs at things he shouldn’t and that he “didn’t know the negative and deeply hurtful impact” of his comments.
“As we all know I can be a complete tool,” he said. “Yesterday I was worse, I was an ignorant tool.”

Roger Ailes Loves Using the Word ‘Faggot’
Roger Ailes Loves Using the Word ‘Faggot’
Now that Roger Ailes is out at FOX News, folks are coming out of the woodwork to share stories of the man media columnist Michael Wolff calls “the Toscanini of inappropriateness.”
CNN Money reports that three people came to them with the same story about a discussion Ailes had with Politico CEO Fred Ryan:
Ailes told Ryan what he wanted: He wanted fair coverage from Politico; he wanted the website to take stock of Fox News’ successes, not just its controversies; and he wanted Politico to stop taking talking points from “that faggot David Brock.”
Brock is the founder of media watchdog Media Matters.
Often Ailes’ diction is simply coarse, cruel and offensive. He used the N-word when speaking with President Richard Nixon, according to “Nixonland,” a book by historian Rick Perlstein.
Sherman reports that during a post-September 11 lunch with former President Bill Clinton, Ailes suggested rebuilding the World Trade towers and filling “the last ten floors with Muslims so [the terrorists] never do it again.”
He has also used the word “faggot” on several occasions, according to sources, including to describe Brock during the meeting with Ryan — a man who was by no means a friend or close confidant.
“Why am I not surprised?” Brock told CNNMoney when informed of the alleged slur.
After all, it was Brock who noted in his own book, “The Fox Effect,” that Ailes once told President George H. W. Bush he shouldn’t wear a short-sleeve shirt because he’d “look like a f**king faggot.”

Tyler Posey Apologizes for Announcing He’s Gay (Because He’s Not)
Tyler Posey Apologizes for Announcing He’s Gay (Because He’s Not)
Teen Wolf actor Tyler Posey apologized on Saturday morning after sending the internet into convulsions on Friday with a Snapchat video in which he announced, “I’m gay! I’ve never felt more alive. I’m gay!”
Apparently he was just trying to demonstrate that he is an ally.
Said Posey in a series of tweets:
“I am a big proponent of love over hate, and standing together during divisive times. Although I’m not gay, I fully support the LGBTQ community. This was a moment intended to reflect that. And everyone, I am truly sorry to the people I’ve offended or lessened how big coming out is. I just want to spread love in this world.”

ABC’s ‘What Would You Do?’ Depicts Man Cheating on Wife With Gay Lover: WATCH
ABC’s ‘What Would You Do?’ Depicts Man Cheating on Wife With Gay Lover: WATCH
In a highly entertaining segment, ABC’s candid camera reality show “What Would You Do?” depicted a man married to a woman who’s having an affair with another man on Friday.
Actors playing the man and his wife are shown in an Atlanta barbecue restaurant, purportedly on their anniversary. They ask fellow diners to take photos of them, posing lovingly, before the wife leaves to go to the bathroom. That’s when the man’s gay lover rushes in, kisses him and loudly complains that he hasn’t told his wife about their affair.
SPOILER ALERT: In the first cut, one nearby diner can’t stop laughing as he tells the waitress what just happened. After the husband subsequently leaves to take a phone call, another woman advises the wife to go to counseling, without saying why, before confronting the husband outside.
In the second take, with his wife in the bathroom after the gay lover leaves, nearby diners encourage the husband to break the news to her. But it’s not until the third and final cut that someone actually spills the beans.
“He needs to talk to you,” the woman tells the couple after the wife returns from the bathroom. “When he went to the bathroom a white man came in and kissed him on the lips and sat down. He’s gay.”
When WWYD‘s John Quiñones walks in with cameras in tow, the woman breaks down crying — perhaps out of guilt that she was so nosy.
Ultimately, the segment probably perpetuates stereotypes about black gay and bisexual men and “the down low” — a term that’s even flashed on the screen at the beginning — but we doubt that will unglue you from your screen.
Watch it below.

“Ever since I heard about the NOH 8 Campaign , the LGBT rights movement, and other social justice topics going on in my head, I finally decided to get involved in that, along with theater and creative writing, while at college.
