United Methodist Church Announces Historic Split into Separate Denominations Over Same-Sex Marriage

The United Methodist Church will split into a “traditional” denomination and one the supports same-sex marriage and accepts LGBTQ clergy according to church leaders.

The Washington Post reports: “The plan would need to be approved in May at the denomination’s worldwide conference. The writers of the plan called the division ‘the best means to resolve our differences, allowing each part of the Church to remain true to its theological understanding, while recognizing the dignity, equality, integrity, and respect of every person.’ … Friday’s announcement came as new sanctions were set to go into effect in the church, which would have made punishments for United Methodist Church pastors who perform same-sex weddings much more severe.”

Meet the top 15 gay performers on JustForFans

Subscription fans site JustForFans has revealed its top 15 male-on-male performers. Like the better-known OnlyFans, account holders with JustForFans charge fans a small weekly or monthly subscription to watch their videos. For most of those with accounts, these tend to be overwhelmingly pornographic.

It has allowed some adult entertainers to take better charge of their financial income, cutting out porn studios. Some of the top 15 also appear in studio work, but several do not, producing only homemade porn.

The creator of JustForFans, Dominic Ford, posted the following list of the top 15 gay sex cis performers. He also gave a separate list of the top 15 trans performers.

“This list is incredibly diverse in porn star vs. amateur, age, race, body type,” he says of the gay/bi male list. “It is the point of a platform like JFF where everyone stands an equal chance of being successful. I am proud of everyone on the JFF platform, and this list is a microcosm of that diversity.”

The top 15 gay/bi male performers are below, with links to their Twitter accounts. Be warned – these are all pornographic in nature and not safe for work.

Pelosi: Trump-Directed Attack on Iranians and Iraqis ‘Without an Authorization’ and ‘Without the Consultation of Congress’

Nancy Pelosi released a statement on the attack which killed top Iranian commander Qassim Suleimani and escalated tensions in the region.

Wrote Pelosi: “American leaders’ highest priority is to protect American lives and interests.  But we cannot put the lives of American servicemembers, diplomats and others further at risk by engaging in provocative and disproportionate actions.  Tonight’s airstrike risks provoking further dangerous escalation of violence.  America – and the world – cannot afford to have tensions escalate to the point of no return. The Administration has conducted tonight’s strikes in Iraq targeting high-level Iranian military officials and killing Iranian Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani without an Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) against Iran.  Further, this action was taken without the consultation of the Congress. The full Congress must be immediately briefed on this serious situation and on the next steps under consideration by the Administration, including the significant escalation of the deployment of additional troops to the region.”
