#LGBTQ: Trans Man Forced To Expose Prosthetic Penis After Being Accused of Stealing a Sausage

A transgender man was accused of shoplifting and strip searched at the Food Fair grocery store in Essex County, New Jersey last May.

Nautica Pagan was at the store to sell his phone to someone, and he entered the store close to its closing time. when a security guard thought he saw a sausage in Pagan’s pants and wanted to search him. Pagan told the security guard that what was in his pants was private. But the guard insisted on searching him and called the police for a FEMALE officer to conduct the search.

Pagan tried to leave the store but the security guard allegedly blocked his exit putting his foot down, literally, in front of Pagan.

Instead of waiting for the officer to arrive, a female cashier was sent to the restroom with Pagan so that she could see what was in his pants.

I was asking God to please get me out of the supermarket as fast as possible.

Never I’d say I faced any discrimination in my life, until this point.”

The security officer apologized to Pagan as he was leaving.

A shoplifter can only be detained if store security has probable cause to believe that they stole something under New Jersey law. Probable cause is usually established by witnessing a shoplifter hiding something or leaving without paying while holding the store’s property. Pagan’s suit claims that the store did not have probable cause.

Rodriguez, the store manager, insists that Pagan stayed voluntarily and that the incident wasn’t that bad. Rodriguez said, misgendering Pagan.

I felt horrible when [he] was telling me [he] was crying and everything but did we detain [him]? No. Did we force [him] to show us [his genitalia]? No. We basically told [him] we need to see what’s in your pants because [the prosthetic] was very exaggerated.

He said that the store is in a high crime area and that lots of shoplifting happens near closing time. He said that Pagan might have drawn attention because he was leaving without buying anything. He also said that salami is one of the things shoplifters usually steal.

It’s expensive and they sell it to little corner stores and stuff like that.

Rodriguez said that the officer did not discriminate because he would have searched anyone under those conditions, no matter their gender.

Robyn Gigl, an attorney and a former Garden State Equality board member, said that the case rests on whether Pagan consented to staying.

I think it’s a very fact sensitive case as to whether or not there was coercion, whether or not there was consent.

Caitlyn Jenner Found Out Kylie Was Pregnant on the Internet, Just Like You!

According to The Sun, Caitlyn Jenner was apparently heartbroken after reading the news that daughter Kylie is pregnant her first child on the web rather than being told personally.

A source close to the family exclusively told The Sun Online: “Caitlyn had to find out that Kylie was pregnant just like everyone else — from the internet.

“She was heartbroken that her own daughter wouldn’t confide something so serious to her first.

“Of course Caitlyn will get over it and she will be there for her daughter and granddaughter.

“The fact is, Kylie was just worried about Caitlyn’s reaction and then the news leaked out much quicker than she expected – before she had the chance to speak to her.”

Also, Caitlyn is worried because her daughter and rapper Travis Scott are not in a long-term committed relationship.

“Caitlyn was really shocked and disappointed to learn that Kylie is pregnant,” a source close to Caitlyn told Hollywood Life.

“She thinks Kylie is way too young to have a baby, and that she should have waited until she was in a long term committed relationship.

“Obviously, Kylie has more than enough money to ensure that she can pay for help but Caitlyn still thinks that having a baby will take a huge toll on Kylie’s life.”

The source added that reality star Caitlyn would have preferred for Kylie to wait until she was older to have a baby.

Bini the bunny, a 5-year-old Holland Lop rabbit, was recently honored with a Guinness World Record for “Most Basketball Slam Dunks In One Minute By A Rabbit” – and HuffPo is having a ball with the bunny puns on this story (even if you don’t “carrot all” about sports it’s “hare-raising” what this silly rabbit can do!) etc etc etc). So, how many basketballscan Bini dunk? Seven. Which is impressive, I suppose, but the REAL story here is about his yummy owner, Shai Asor. That smile! That accent! MARRY ME, SHAI!

Adds HuffPo:

Bini doesn’t confine his talents to the basketball court. He can also paint, comb hair, play arcade games, and even vacuum up his own poop, according to the Metro.

Vacuum his own poop? That’s no DUMB BUNNY!

Anyway. Watch Bini hop into the Guinness Book of World’s Records below.

#Breaking: Anthony’s Weiner Is Going To Prison…

$

Yes, today Federal District of Manhattan Judge Denise Cote sentenced ex-congressman Anthony Weiner to 21 months in prison. Weiner plead guilty to exchanging lewd material with a minor last May.

Weiner had asked for probation claiming that his obsession lay with exchanging lewd material with strangers, not an interest in underage girls. (Weiner cried when the verdict was announced.)

The prosecution called probation “inadequate” and asked for two years in prison (he faced up to 10 years for his guilty plea).

The result of an F.B.I. investigation into the already-resigned congressman uncovered sexually explicit text messages with a then 15-year-old girl in North Carolina, who had reached out to Weiner via Twitter in January 2016.

A previous scandal forced him to resign from congress in 2011, while even MORE sexting blew up a mayoral campaign in New York. The latter was captured in the 2016 documentary, Weiner.

Weiner and his wife, Huma Abedin, are also going through a divorce, which Weiner attributed to his obsession. In a letter to the judge, which The New York Times has published in full, he expressed his remorse and noted that his

“continued acting out over years crushed the aspirations”

of his wife. She worked as the vice chair of Hillary Clinton’s campaign and has been a close associate of the former secretary of state for years. (Photo, YouTube; via Vanity Fair)

#OnThisDay: 60 Years Ago, Central High School is Integrated using U.S. Army Troops

US Department, from Wikimedia Commons

 

September 25, 1957Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, is Integrated using U.S. Army Troops.

On May 17, 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled unanimously in Brown v. Board of Education that racial segregation in educational institutions was unconstitutional. Five days later, the Little Rock School Board issued a statement saying it would comply with the decision as soon as SCOTUS gave them a way and a time frame in which desegregation should be implemented.

For that era, Arkansas was among the more progressive Southern states regarding issues of race. The Little Rock Public Library allowed African-Americans in 1951. In 1955, the Little Rock School Board unanimously adopted a plan for integration to begin in 1957 at the high school level. But, The National Association For The Advancement Of Colored People (NAACP) filed suit, arguing the change was too gradual, but a federal judge dismissed the suit, saying that the school board was acting in good faith. In 1957, Little Rock’s bus system was desegregated and seven out of Arkansas’ eight state universities were integrated.

In Spring 1957, there were 517 black students who lived in the Central High School district. Eighty said that they wanted to attend Central High in September. They were interviewed by the Little Rock School Board, which accepted 17. Eight of those students later decided to remain at all-black Horace Mann High School, leaving the “Little Rock Nine” to be the first black students at Little Rock’s best high school.

In August 1957, the newly formed Mother’s League Of Central High School won a temporary injunction to block integration of the school from the local court, charging that it would lead to violence. The federal district court nullified the injunction on August 30. On September 2, Governor Orval Faubus, a staunch segregationist, called out the Arkansas National Guard to surround Central High School and prevent integration, claiming he wanted to prevent the bloodshed. The next day, the federal court ordered integrated classes to begin on September 4.

That morning, 100 National Guard troops with rifles encircled Central High School. A mob of 500 white citizens gathered. When the black students arrived, the crowd shouting racial slurs and threatened the teenagers. The National Guard troops refused to let the black students into the school. One of the nine, 15-year-old Elizabeth Eckford, was surrounded by the mob, which threatened to lynch her. She was finally taken to safety by a sympathetic white woman.

Little Rock Mayor Woodrow Mann condemned Faubus’ decision to call out the National Guard, but the governor defended his action stating that integration would come to Little Rock when and if the majority of people chose to support it. Faubus’ defiance of the federal court order was the first major test of the ruling in Brown v. Board Of Education.

On September 20, the federal court ruled that Faubus used the troops to prevent integration, not to preserve law and order. Faubus was forced to withdraw the National Guard troops. The Little Rock Police Department was put in charge of the situation

On September 23, a mob of 1,000 white people gathered outside Central High School. The nine black students managed to enter the school through a side door. The mob became unruly learning that the black students were inside, and the police evacuated them out of fear for their safety.

That evening, President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued a call for opponents of the federal court order to cease and desist. On September 24, Little Rock’s mayor sent a telegram to Eisenhower requesting troops to maintain order and complete the integration process. The president federalized the Arkansas National Guard and deployed U.S. troops to Little Rock. That evening, from the White House, Eisenhower delivered a nationally televised address explaining that he had taken the action to defend the rule of law and prevent mob rule.

On September 25, the Little Rock Nine entered the school under heavily armed guard. Troops remained at Central High School for the entire school year. Yet, the black students had to endure verbal and physical assaults from some of the white students. One of the nine, Melba Patillo, had acid thrown in her eyes. Elizabeth Eckford was pushed down a flight of stairs. The three male students were often beaten up. Minnijean Brown dumped a bowl of chili over the head of a white student who taunted her and she was suspended. Later, Brown was suspended for the rest of the year after continuing to push back.

In May 1958, Ernest Green, the only senior in the group, became the first African-American to graduate from Central High School.

In September 1958, Faubus ordered Little Rock’s three high schools closed rather than permit integration. Most Little Rock students lost a year of school while the legal fight over desegregation continued. In 1959, a federal court struck down Faubus’ school-closing law, and in September 1959, all of Little Rock’s high schools opened with black students in attendance. But, it wasn’t until 1972 that all public schools in Little Rock were finally fully integrated.

The Little Rock Nine went on to great accomplishments. Green was Assistant Secretary of Labor in President Jimmy Carter’s administration. Pattillo became a reporter for NBC News and wrote Warriors Don’t Cry: A Searing Memoir of the Battle to Desegregate Little Rock’s Central High School. Brown was the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Department of Interiors’ Workforce Diversity in the Clinton Administration. Eckford served in the U.S. Army. Gloria Ray Karlmark, the granddaughter of a slave, graduated from the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. She immigrated to Sweden and was head of IBM’s Nordic Laboratory. Carlotta Walls LaNier, the youngest member of the Little Rock Nine, entering Central High School at 14-years-old, wrote A Mighty Long Way: My Journey To Justice At Little Rock Central High School. Terrence Roberts was Assistant Dean of the UCLA School of Social Welfare. He wrote Simple, Not Easy: Reflections On Community, Social Responsibility And Tolerance. Jefferson Thomas worked for the Department of Defense for 27 years. He passed away in 2010. Thelma Mothershed Wair was a high school teacher for 30 years.

In 1999, President William Jefferson Clinton awarded the Congressional Gold Medal to the Little Rock Nine. A decade later, President Barack Obama invited them as special guests to his inauguration.

Our collective fantasy husband Colin Kaepernick was spotted going to the gym this morning to get even buffer and more gorgeous. A TMZ reporter asked the former 49ers quarterback how he felt about all the NFL players who took a knee on Sunday following the national anthem protest he started last year. Colin just smiled his enigmatic Mona Lisa smile and said while he appreciates the offer but he wasn’t talking to the press today. His girlfriend Nessa (BOOOOO!) said he was just going to work out and asked that we leave him alone.

B.o.B. Starts GoFundMe Page to Prove the Earth Is Flat

$

“Nothin’ on You” star B.o.B. has started a GoFundMe campaign to send a satellite into space to prove his theory that the Earth is just a flat disc hanging in space.

Hi Flat-Earther B.o.B here. I started this GoFundMe because I’d like to send one, if not multiple satellites as far into space as I can, or into orbit, to find the curve. I’m looking’ for the curve.

To that end, he says he needs is a small investment of $200,000 dollars (and launch approval, of course). So far he’s received $1,771.

Via HuffPo:

B.o.B. has expressed skepticism about the Earth being truly round since 2015.

“No matter how high in elevation you are … the horizon is always eye level …sorry cadets … I didn’t wanna believe it either,” he claimed, according to the paper. ”Don’t believe what I say, research what I say. I’m going up against the greatest liars in history … you’ve been tremendously deceived.”

In January 2016, astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson attempted to calmly respond to the rapper’s “evidence” on Twitter, before finally getting frustrated.

Tyson dropped the mic on B.o.B.’s flat Earth beliefs a few days later on The Nightly Show.

“Isaac Newton, my man, said, ‘If I have seen farther than others, it’s by standing on the shoulders of giants.’ Can I get an amen? So that’s right B.o.B. When you stand on the shoulders of those who came before, you might just see far enough to realize the Earth isn’t fucking flat!”

He added, “And, by the way, this is called gravity!”

One GoFundMe commenter had a bright idea:

Bro. I am totally with you on this. But we cannot trust anything but our senses. The technology you’re using will make it appear that the earth is round because of the curvature of the lenses mounted on your satellite. The only way to find out if the earth is flat is by going to outer soace yourself and ejecting yourself from the spacecraft, because the window glass would also have a slight curvature making the earth look round. Then you have to get out of your space suit, becayse the glass on your space suit will curve the appearance of the earth. So only then you will see that the earth is in fact, flat.

“Your Orgasm Is Not Neutral”: Gay Adult Film Star Wesley Woods on Why You Shouldn’t Get Off to Colby Keller

$

Towleroad today posted an open letter that gay porn star Wesley Woods wrote about White Masculine Privilage, specifically that shown by fellow gay pornstar Colby Keller (who, you might recall, voted for Trump though he claims he “doesn’t support him” – whatever that means).

Its worth reading in full, mostly for his thoughts on why masturbating to Keller’s videos is tantamount to supporting his politics and allowing his ideas to impact the marginalized. Fascinating stuff.

He writes:

My relationships with those that are socially disempowered and highly impacted by politics makes me more sensitive and offended by white masculine privilege, like that shown by fellow gay pornstar- Colby Keller- a man who obviously lives in an ivory tower without any minority friends.

Is that why he doesn’t understand the impact and power of his vote? “I think the problem is that I don’t support Trump,” Keller says. ”I did VOTE for Trump, that’s the distinction.”

The problem with this “distinction” and ideology is that there isn’t one. A vote IS support. A vote isn’t anything more or anything less than SHOWING support of that candidate.

When the votes are counted and collected there’s no fairy vote mother who comes by and asks your stance on the nominee- you stated it, with your vote.

He hopes that one day, when we evolve as a species, we will one day wake up, stretch and suddenly understand why he did what he did. But, what about minorities without his white male privileges that can’t wait until “one day” to be educated on the glory of what his vote did.

I understand why he did it- he is a white man who can blend REAL QUICK with his surroundings- he (and I) have NOTHING TO LOSE. What a disgrace to others who do not live a life where that opportunity exists. He OPENLY and PROUDLY voted AGAINST anyone who feels marginalized. Colby, you and I will never fully understand how it feels to live a life of oppression.

You will never fear being shot by a police officer, you will never fear being grabbed by the pussy, you will never fear being mocked for your disabilities, you will never fear what others think of you based on the color of your skin, you will never fear being an outsider- but, with your pompous regard to others in choosing your vote, I hope you understand the impact you placed against those oppressed by the people you put in power.

I don’t believe Colby Keller stands behind his vote anymore- I think he’s trapped, and instead of apologizing he stands behind his vote adding to the offensiveness of the current political debate. It is a disastrous attempt at being truly radical.

A true radical works on undoing systematic and root causes of systemic problems and cultural injustices, but Colby Keller is further adding to it.
As someone who has built a career as a performer and therefore has his popularity and career dependent upon public opinion- are his fans not aware of what they are supporting when they are supporting him- Or, do they not care?

Please do not think the porn you watch, just like all other art and media outlet, does not have an impact- your orgasm is not neutral- you are directly supporting him, his platform and therefore his politics. You are acknowledging and allowing Keller’s ideas to further impact those marginalized.
Everything matters!

#OnThisDay: 48 Years Ago, The Beatles’ “Abbey Road” is Released

$
0
0

EMI/Capitol Records

 

September 26, 1969Abbey Road, the last recorded album by The Beatles, is released.

Abbey Road is the eleventh studio album by The Beatles, meaning that the recording sessions for the album were the last in which all four Beatles participated. Although Let It Be is the final album released by the band, most of that album had been recorded before the Abbey Road sessions began.

The unusual double A-side single from the album, Something and Come Together, was released a few days later, topped the Billboard Charts in the USA and Britain.

It was a perfect ending to a landmark career, with the band still in its prime, capable of amazing songwriting and recordings by any measure.

The Beatles wanted to come back after the serious downer of the Get Back sessions, which, nearly a year after they had finished recording, still couldn’t be constructed into an album that the band could get behind. So, they returned to the studio on Abbey Road in the summer 1969, with no idea of what they would do. They weren’t getting along, their musical interests had split in four ways; John Lennon didn’t really want to continue with The Beatles; Paul McCartney did, but only on his terms. It seems that they all sensed that this would be the end. But, what a way to go out.

The Beatles and their producer George Martin had a mastery of the studio that was undeniable. Abbey Road still sounds fresh and innovative 48 years after it was released.  Even if it’s basically a McCartney and Martin album, as you tell from on the famous 16-minute second-side medley, everyone in the band is in top form. Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band was conscious of being important, and Let It Be strained to be significant (and they both have greatness), but Abbey Road doesn’t have misstep or throw-away in any of its 10 tracks.

Lennon’s I Want You (She’s So Heavy) and McCartney’s Carry That Weight are about the atmosphere at Apple Records. It was “heavy”. Heavy was a word that was used during that era: “Heavy, man”. They are balanced by George Harrison’s Here Comes The Sun, the bright, optimistic first track on side-two.

Side one ends with McCartney’s Maxwell’s Silver Hammer and Ringo Starr’s Octopus’s Garden, two silly, charming songs in The Beatles tradition of silly, charming Beatles songs. But, side two is something new. A suite of songs runs from You Never Give Me Your Money through Her Majesty and it feels like The Beatles signing-off in a grand fashion. From the bits and pieces of songs that had piled up, McCartney and Martin pieced together a song cycle bursting with light and hopefulness, and this glorious stretch of music moves away from all the bad vibes that had built up over the previous two years. From The Sun King to Lennon’s witty fragments Mean Mr. Mustard and Polythene Pam (with Mustard’s lyric about “sister Pam” melding the pair of pieces), and the one-climax-after-another sequence of She Came In Through The Bathroom Window, Golden Slumbers, and Carry That Weight, the nine fragments add up to so much more than the sum of their parts.

It just feels warm and wondrous. And then, the perfect finish: a song titled The End, with alternating guitar solos from John, George, and Paul and a nice drum solo from Ringo. It was a sweet and appropriate curtain call from a band that just a few years earlier had been four lads from Liverpool with more confidence than skill. This is how to finish a career. It was also the end of the 1960s.

The Beatles never record another album together. But, they were still young men: Harrison was 26-years-old, McCartney was 27, Lennon was 28-years-old, and Starr was 29. The Beatles’ first album, Please Please Me, had been released six and a half years before. Twelve studio albums and dozens of hit singles, that’s a lot of weight to carry for a short amount of time.

Abbey Road was unique among The Beatles’ albums. It doesn’t have the band’s name nor the title on its front cover. It’s just the four members pictured walking away from the Apple Studios. The iconic photograph was taken by Iain Macmillan, a friend of Lennon and Yoko Ono; he died in 2006, taken by cancer at 67-years-old.

In the background an American tourist, Paul Cole, is pictured standing next to a police van. Cole was unaware he was pictured on a Beatles album cover until years later. The Volkswagen Beetle parked on the other side of the road was sold at auction in 1986 for $33,000, and is currently on display at the Autostadt Museum in Germany.

Fans knew that The Beatles recorded most of their music at the studios on Abbey Road, but the release of the album made the building and the street famous. The marked pedestrian walkway is a favorite destination for tourists, with countless photographs being taken of fans following in The Beatles’ footsteps. There is now a webcam so you can see the crossing at any time.

The artwork and cover have been given homage by Kanye West, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. In 1993, McCartney adapted the original artwork for his album Paul Is Live.

McCartney wore sandals for the first two shots taken Macmillan, but afterwards took them off and walked barefoot. This was one of the clues in the “Paul Is Dead” urban legend, which began as soon as the album came out.

There were three more clues on the front cover:

The order in which The Beatles walked was said to be reference to a funeral procession: Lennon dressed in white as a priest; Starr in a black suit as an undertaker; McCartney being barefoot, as corpses were buried; and Harrison as a gravedigger. McCartney is also out of step with the others and has his eyes closed. He is pictured holding a cigarette with his right hand. But, it was well-known that he was left-handed, suggesting that the man in the picture was an impostor.

A VW has the license plate LMW 28IF. LMW for “Linda McCartney weeps” and 28IF was referring to McCartney’s age if he had lived. Except that in 1969, he would have been 27-years-old.

On the back cover, some people claimed to see the Grim Reaper cast as a shadow on the wall next to The Beatles’ name.

Abbey Road entered the albums chart at number one, and remained there for 11 consecutive weeks. It was bumped by The Rolling Stones’ Let It Bleed for a week in December, but came back to number one for six more weeks and spent a total of 81 weeks in the charts.

It was the best-selling album of 1969, the fourth best-selling of 1970, and the fourth highest-selling of the entire decade of the 1960s. In the first six weeks, four million copies of Abbey Road were sold worldwide, with a further million by the end of 1969. It was the first The Beatles album to sell more than 10 million copies.

Abbey Road has remained in print since its first release. The album continues to be reissued on vinyl.

“And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love
You make.”

Rapper Young Dolph Shot Multiple Times on Hollywood Boulevard

According to TMZ, rapper Young Dolph was outside the Shoe Palace at the Hollywood and Highland intersection when he was hit multiple times by gunfire. Thankfully, officers were nearby and responded immediately. He was rushed to a nearby hospital (I’m assuming Cedars Sinai) where it was later revealed that his injuries appear to be non-life threatening. As of a few minutes ago, one person has been arrested in connection with the shooting (but no further details).

TMZ is quick to remind us:

It’s not the first time this year the rapper’s come under gunfire … back in February his SUV was shot at over 100 times while he was in Charlotte, N.C… Blac Youngsta turned himself in for the shooting in May after a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Goodness, Young D! Be safe!

#QuoteUnquote: Apparently, Trump Doesn’t Know Where Puerto Rico Is –”This Is an Island Sitting in the Middle of an Ocean”

We know the POTUS is NOT that smart, but this quote about Puerto Rico in relation to the Hurricanes that hit Texas and Florida just makes you wonder HOW dumb he really is…?

It’s very, very tough because it’s an island. The difference is this is an island sitting in the middle of an ocean — and it’s a big ocean, a really, really big ocean.

Donald Trump, as reported by The New York Times, discussing hurricane aid for the America territory

For the record, Puerto Rico is in the Caribbean Sea, about 100 miles from the Dominican Republic, a 2 and a half hour flight from Miami. Regardless of whether our idiot President knows where they are, they need our help. Click on a link below and donate what you can. Even $5 adds up…
