Hillary Clinton To Judge Roy Moore: “Marriage Equality Is Now The Law Of The Land – Including In Alabama”

Hillary Clinton was quick to issue this statement regarding anti-gay Alabama state Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, who instructed probate judges in his state to cease issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

“Marriage equality is now the law of the land — including in Alabama. Today’s unconstitutional order reminds us that, despite the Supreme Court’s ruling that all Americans have the right to marry the person they love, our work is far from over. There are still judges who are determined to stand in the way of people’s rights. There are still politicians who argue the Court got it wrong and states should ignore its ruling.

“We need to ensure that marriage equality is guaranteed and enforced nationwide. And we need to fight discrimination against LGBT Americans wherever it occurs. There are places where you can get married on Sunday and are at risk of being fired from your job or evicted from your home on Monday because you’re gay. That’s not how it should be in the United States of America.

“As President, I’ll fight for the equal rights of all Americans, no matter who they are or who they love.”

Melania Trump: “People Are Very Curious About Me”

In a new interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Mrs. Donald Trump (aka Melania Trump) explains why she has been absent from the campaign trail:

“Because of who my husband is, and our life, and also he is number one in the polls — well, you take that all together, and people are very curious about me.

“I’m choosing not to go political in public because that is my husband’s job. I’m very political in private life, and between me and my husband I know everything that is going on. I follow from A to Z.

“But I chose not to be on the campaign. I made that choice. I have my own mind. I am my own person, and I think my husband likes that about me.”

Mrs. Trump was a successful fashion model, having worked with photographers like Helmut Newton and Mario Testino, and appearing in high profile photo shoots including the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition in 2000.

Campaign Ad Puts Marco Rubio’s Faith Front & Center

 Sen. Marco Rubio has a new campaign ad out in Iowa in an attempt to woo the heavy conservative evangelical vote. The ad puts the young senator’s faith front and center.

From CNN:

In the 30-second ad, the Florida senator speaks directly with the camera to share why Christianity is important to him spliced with footage of his family.

“The purpose of our life is to cooperate with God’s plan,” Rubio says in the ad. “To those who much as been given, much is expected. And we will be asked to account for that … I try to allow that to influence me in everything that I do.”

Clearly a move to try and reach for some of Sen. Ted Cruz’s support in the state. Cruz currently leads the pack of GOP contenders in recent polls. Rubio is trailing a distant third.

Fox News’ Megyn Kelly Slaps Down Anti-Gay Brian Brown Over Marriage Equality & SCOTUS

In an effort to find some semblance of relevance in today’s world of marriage equality, virulently anti-gay Brian Brown (of the ironically-named National Organization for Marriage) made an appearance on Fox News last night to talk on Alabama state Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore’s feckless attempt to stop same-sex marriages in his state.

Of course, as we all know, last June the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage was a right in this country, and thus making it possible for gay and lesbian couples everywhere in America to wed.

Grasping at straws, Brown tried to make an (illogical) legal case for Moore’s impertinence. The results – and response from experienced lawyer Megyn Kelly – were not exactly what Brown was hoping for.

From Mediaite:

Brown’s opening gambit was the fine legal thinking of Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee (imagine that wedding), which holds that Supreme Court rulings are more, like, guidelines. Kelly lost it a little when Brown said officials shouldn’t “kowtow” to the court (which might be NOM-speak for some kind of man-dairy animal union), then patiently tried to explain the legal concept codified in Marbury vs Madison.

That’s when Brown really stepped in it, telling attorney Megyn Kelly “I think you are misreading Marbury vs Madison.” If Megyn Kelly ever decides to return to practicing law, her new strategy should be to just make faces during opposing counsel’s argument. She’d win every case.

Funny Or Die: Colton Haynes On Male Model Inequality

Beautiful do-gooders Colton Haynes (Arrow) & Cody Horn (Magic Mike) are taking a stand against a serious injustice occurring in today’s workplace.

Says Colton in this Funny Or Die clip:

“I thought these cheekbones were gonna take me all the way! But in July, Fortune magazine published an article that said that the highest paid female model earns 95 percent more than the highest paid male model! Men earning less than women but doing the same work? How long has this been going on? Do other male models know about this?”

Not sure how funny this is, but it’s always nice to take a break and look at Colton’s handsome face.

That’s my next president.

Netflix Drops Trailer For Upcoming Baz Lurhmann Series “The Get Down”

I’m optimistic about the upcoming series “The Get Down” coming on Netflix in 2016 and helmed by cinematic visionary Baz Luhrmann.

“Told through the lives and music of a ragtag crew of South Bronx teens, The Get Down is a mythic saga of the transformation of 1970s New York City.”

Let’s be serious – what do I have to say other than Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge, and The Great Gatsby?

Former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson Announces Another Libertarian Run For President

Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson has decided he’s going to make another run for the White House.

Back in 2012, Johnson began for a run president as a Republican, but dropped out of the Republican race to run as a Libertarian getting over 1.2 million votes.

For those counting, that’s about 1% of the vote.

Johnson regards himself as a fiscal conservative and social liberal. He’s pro-LGBT and pro-choice.

Since he left the governor’s mansion, he’s been working with a new company selling marijuana products. Legalizing pot was a passion for the two-term governor.

Johnson made his announcement today during a Fox Business News interview.
