‘Nurse Jackie’ actor Haaz Sleiman Comes Out as Gay and a ‘Total Bottom’ — WATCH

Nurse Jackie actor Haaz Sleiman has come out as gay in a video posted on social media in which he also proclaims himself “a total bottom” who is prepared to destroy homophobes.

Said Sleiman:

“A new study finds that more LGBTQ people living in the United States have been murdered so far this year than in 2016. So this video is my response to this study. I am a gay, Muslim, Arab-American man. I am a gay, Muslim, Arab-American man. And i’m going to take it even further – not only am I gay but I’m also a bottom. Not only am I a bottom, but I’m also a total bottom, which means I like it up you-know-where. And I say this to all the homophobes living in the United States of America and across the globe. Why not? If you ever come to me to kill me just because I’m gay, I will destroy you. I might be gay and I might be a nice guy but don’t get it twisted because I will f**k you up.”

Watch:

Sleiman told The Advocate in 2009 that he was straight. In a follow-up social media post, he explained why.

Said Sleiman: “The advocate wanted to interview me. I told Showtime only on one condition, no personal questions. The advocate agreed. At the end of the half hour interview over the phone the idiot interviewer, whom I think was gay (), asked me if was gay or straight (no personal questions)… I was so shocked. I froze. My body started shaking. And then I lied and said I was straight. Shame on gay people who are not kind to other gay people. He did that on purpose. ”

Security Tightened for Charlotte Pride Parade as Excluded Pro-Trump Group Threatens Protest

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department announced its intentions to step up security preparations for the city’s annual Pride parade slated for today, in the face of a threatened protest by a pro-Trump group previously excluded from participation.

The event’s organizers, Charlotte Pride, had decided in June that they would not approve an application from Deplorable Pride, a self-declared “gays for Trump” association. While a reason was not given, the organization reserved its right to decide that a group’s character was contrary to the event’s mission and message. The Trump administration’s several anti-LGBTQ moves have been self-evident, the most recent such example an anti-transgender memo issued this week calling for the draconian barring of transgender troops from the military.

The Charlotte Observer reports:

The Charlotte-based Republican group Deplorable Pride said their march will begin 30 minutes before the parade, and they intend it to be “a non-confrontational peaceful demonstration.” The group will walk from Romare Bearden Park on Church Street to the corner of Trade and Tryon streets, which is the center of Charlotte Pride activities.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police estimate up to 130,000 people will attend the two-day Charlotte Pride festival and parade, which is the largest annual parade in the city.

A spokesman for Charlotte Pride defended its decision Friday, saying the nonprofit has the right to exclude any group it feels does not reflect the parade’s values of welcoming groups on the fringes of American society, including undocumented immigrants.

“In the past, we have made similar decisions to decline participation from other organizations espousing anti-LGBTQ religious or public policy stances,” according a Charlotte Pride statement. “Charlotte Pride envisions a world in which LGBTQ people are affirmed, respected, and included in the full social and civic life of their local communities, free from fear of any discrimination, rejection, and prejudice.”

In response, the CMPD signaled its intent to increase security, although they characterized it as an acknowledgement of recent events worldwide in which large gatherings have been targeted.

Local television network WSOC reports:

Police have barriers in place blocking streets and officers are keeping an eye on activities to ensure they stay safe. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers said they plan to have officers walking around with rifles.

Police said they do not expect any violent or extremist groups to disrupt this weekend’s festival.

“Things have changed around the world,” said Maj. Gerald Smith, of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.

Police officers say they are constantly changing tactics to protect large crowds such as the one expected this weekend. Smith said the police department is only aware of one group of peaceful protesters planning to show up this weekend.

“We’ve worked diligently to put together a plan that we think will increase safety significantly up here,” Smith said.

The police department said it contacted the Deplorable Pride organizer to be sure the protest would be peaceful.
