John Stamos Almost Played A Bisexual Hooker, Harry Potter's Wealth, Sir Ian Supports Gay Character On "Peppa Pig": MEME

Tony Perkins says Muslims have no rights under the Constitution, Variety trashes "Stonewall," Hillary Clinton to address Human Rights Campaign


On a housekeeping note, rather than recapping Empire this year, snicks is going to liveblog it, so join us tonight at 9PM eastern so we can watch it together. Well, you can watch it with snicks. I'll be writing Meme and will get around to watching it eventually.


Hillary Clinton is set to address the employees of the Human Rights Campaign on the morning of their National Dinner. In addition, the HRC says that it's about to put boots on the ground in early primary states that could provide swing votes for the candidates. Now I agree Hillary is the most viable candidate to win, but part of me thinks the HRC should be aligning with Bernie Sanders since Bernie has been aligned with the LGBT community for decades.


Variety trashes Stonewall as both terribly offensive, and offensively terrible. They really have nothing good to say about the film, from the rewriting of history to the actual script to the look of Christopher Street. "Turns out, Stonewall is perhaps even worse than some feared it would be—more offensive, more white-washed, even more hackishly made. It’s so bad that it’s hard to know where to begin a catalogue of the film’s sins. Maybe you start with its leering, bizarrely sex-shaming tone, which has poor cherubic baby-hunk Danny (Irvine)—kicked out of his house by his football-coach father after he’s caught giving the quarterback, yes the quarterback, a blow job—being preyed upon by gross, sweaty, teen-hungry older men upon arriving in New York. In two different scenes, Danny cries pitifully as one of these horrible, horrible men (one of them in grotesque drag) fellate him."


According to Tony Perkins, Muslims have no rights under the Constitution of the United States. “Religious freedom and our liberty is ordered liberty under the Constitution. And as Dr. Carson pointed out, and I know this is driving the left crazy, that Islam is not just a religion, Islam is an economic system, it is a judicial system, it is a compressive system which is incompatible with the Constitution. That’s what Dr. Carson said and he happens to be correct.” Which is exactly what he wants Christianity to be in this country, which you would think would present a problem of logic.


While we already knew that the new Spider-man movie would not be an origin story (you only need to kill Uncle Ben so many times), we now know how old Peter Parker is in the film - 15. That means that in Captain America: Civil War a teenager is going toe to toe with Tony Stark. Director Jon Watts has nothing but praise for Tom Holland. “Tom was pretty perfect. He’s very athletic. He can actually do a backflip! If he didn’t already capture the spirit of the character, with that on top the kid is Spider-Man.”


I'm just going to note that Mat Staver's comment is racially offensive before I run it. According to Staver, “They want her scalp to hang on the wall as a trophy. Kim Davis has made a good faith effort to comply with the court’s order and has not prevented the issuance of marriage licenses by Deputy Clerks. While these licenses do not have her name on them, the Governor said last Monday they were valid. Judge Bunning also said licenses issued while she was in jail without her name were valid.” Just last week he was talking about how the licenses were not valid. I think he's starting to realize his legal corner.


The Parents Television Council and I seldom like the same shows. In fact, their naughty list is frequently where I go to decide if I want to try a show out. They love Supergirl, but hate Scream Queens and Angel from Hell. Program your TiVO appropriately.


JK Rowling has issued a story detailing the history of the Potter family, including how they got so rich. "The name dates all the way back to the 12th century, with Linfred of Stinchcombe, an “eccentric” wizard whose magical cures for the common cold and broken bones paved the way for the Skele-gro and Pepperup potions now taught at Hogwarts. And that’s where Harry Potter (and the generations of Potters before him) got all that gold from. Mystery solved!"


John Stamos said that Ryan Murphy pitched a show to him years ago in which he would play a bisexual hooker, sort of a male Charlie's Angels. “He wanted to do three male hookers, like Charlie’s Angels, who’d go in and save relationships by having sex with the husband and the wife. I was too afraid then." He says that Nip/Tuck was also written for him, but the person he was in a relationship with at the time told him it was demeaning towards women.


I'm not entirely sure what Peppa Pig is, but it's come up a lot lately and I'm guessing it's a beloved children's show of some sort in the UK. Sir Ian McKellen was asked if he agreed that it should have a gay character, and of course he does. “Of course, why not! Peppa Pig – I’ve got the series but I haven’t actually got round to watching it yet. When I heard that kids in primary school are being taught about homosexuality I gasped and thought aren’t they a bit young? Well that just shows how old fashioned I am. Kids at that age have no problem with it, at all. They just understand love.” He also says he'd love it if they named the pig Ian. Just don't let David Cameron guest star.


If you've been wanting to watch Transparent since it won all the Emmys, but didn't have Prime, Amazon wants you to watch it too, and is celebrating the win by making the annual subscription for new users only $67 this Friday instead of the normal $99. Which I just paid last week.


While few people in the porn industry are more divisive (and I've spoken to the man, he's not particularly friendly) than Michael Lucas, he's right about PrEP - it's something that could help a lot of people. And screaming "Just Use a Condom" isn't a form of debate on the subject.

I'm an avid Peanuts fan, but I've had reservations about the movie. This trailer pretty much erases them. It feels right. It's about Charlie Brown. The gang is all there in the right places, and they act like them. And it's not a Snoopy movie, which is what it felt like in all the other trailers. I'll be requesting this day off work so I can go to the first matinee.
