Chris Evans genuinely dislikes icky conservative opinionator Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro has a big problem with Jason Collins being called a “hero.”

Upon Jason Collins’ historic coming-out, Shapiro took to Twitter to decry the calls of heroism being lauded at the NBA center — a popular trend among straight white men who never had to come out as anything in their lives.

Piers Morgan took Shapiro to task on his CNN show for his insensitive comments, at which Shapiro accused the Piers of hating America by thinking that we’re all just a bunch of homophobes:

Shapiro: “Let me ask you something. Why do you hate America so much that you think this is such a homophobic country that when Jason Collins comes out it is the biggest deal in the history of humanity? President Obama has to personally call him to congratulate him.”

Answers Morgan: “I think you might be homophobic simply because you said, why is Jason Collins a hero because he’s gay? Why sneer at a guy for coming out when he’s being courageous?”

Says Shapiro: “I’m Jewish. I wear a yarmulke on TV. There’s a lot of anti-semitism… Being who you are in 2013 in America is what America is about. It is not heroic to be who you are publicly. I’m glad for Jason Collins if he feels that he’s going to live a happier life now. But it does not make you a hero to be who you are.”

I personally can’t stand the sound of Shapiro’s voice.  It’s like nails on a chalk board.  To think people actually listen to him on the radio and such is difficult to fathom.

UPDATE: After the segment aired, super-star movie stud Chris Evans, who has a gay brother, tweeted this:

Satirical tweet of the day

Seriously, folks.  I say it over and over, but this clearly makes President Obama the WORST “socialist” in the history of the concept.  Actually, isn’t this the opposite of “socialism?”

Wall Street is soaring, 38th straight month of positive job growth, unemployment dropping – what are the GOPers going to have left to complain about?

President Obama announces clear support for LGBT inclusive immigration reform

At a press conference in Costa Rica last night, President Obama announced that he supports LGBT-inclusive immigration reform because it’s “the right thing to do” but admitted he was uncertain about what might happen with the provision.

Said Obama:

“The LGBT community should be treated like everybody else. That’s the essential core principle behind our founding documents. The idea that we’re all created equal and we’re equal before the law…

“And so Senator Leahy may present this provision in committee, it may be presented on the floor. It will be one of many amendments and provisions, some of which I support. Some of which I think are really bad ideas…

“I can tell you I think that the provision is the right thing to do. I’ll also tell you that I’m not going to get everything I want in this bill. Republicans are not going to get everything they want in this bill.”

Brian Brown of NOM continues to hide his head in the sand

Even as Rhode Island became the 10th US state to approve marriage equality, NOM leader and asshat Brian Brown continues to bury his head in the sand and pretend that he is not fighting a losing battle. From USAToday:

“Does inclusive mean that you get rid of your founding principles? Are party platforms supposed to mean anything? If the party does that, the party is DONE! The party is DONE if the Republican party abandons traditional marriage! It will mean that it has turned its back again on not only its base but on the overwhelming majority of folks who identify as Republicans.”

Brian – that NOM paycheck is going to disappear sooner than you think.  Just saying…

Check out the full interview with Mr. Brown by Susan Page of USAToday below:

Robert Brown, former lead singer of Bearforce1, releases new track remixed by Cahill

New from Robert Brown, the former lead singer of Bearforce1, comes this video “Love In The Shadows” remixed by world famous Cahill.

Bearforce1 was a dance music band, in the campy style of Village People, from the Netherlands with four gay members. At a time when smooth boy band images were the norm, Bearforce1 featured furry, fun, masc bears. Bearforce1 was unapologetic about showing-off hairy, bearded band members shaking their moneymakers with their shirts off.

After disbanding in 2009, Brown decided to set out on a solo career.

Now known as Circuit21, Brown and company’s new album EVENTUALLY is set to be released this summer.

Thoughts? Yay or nay? Leave a comment below.

The original “Bearforce1” video from 2007 which garnered over 3 million views:
