Matt Damon Explains Himself, Graham Norton Says Men His Age Don't Date Men His Age: MEME

Judith Light discusses Danny Pintaruo's coming out as HIV+, Rush Limbaugh says water on Mars is liberal conspiracy, Justin Bieber's drive-thru religion


As you may have read, Justin Bieber is no longer a bad boy, and he's got religion. Of the drive-thru variety. “Christians leave such a bad taste in people’s mouths, even myself. I was like, I’m not gonna go to church … I think that going to church is fellowship, it’s relationship, it’s what we’re here on the earth to do, to have this connection that you feel there’s no insecurities. I think that’s where we need to be. Like I said, you don’t need to go to church to be a Christian. If you go to Taco Bell, that doesn’t make you a taco.”


Remember that faked photo of 100,000 Peruvians praying for Kim Davis that was thoroughly debunked yesterday as being from 2014? The Liberty Counsel is standing firm that it happened, because 100,000 people praying in a soccer stadium is so common in Peru, ti's not even newsworthy. "Many churches canceled their Sunday services to attend the prayer meeting in the soccer stadium. While meetings of 70,000 to 100,000 Christians in a soccer stadium may shock people in the United States, they are much more common in Peru. Oftentimes such gatherings do not appear on traditional media any more than the weekly church services in the United States appear on television."


According to Rush Limbaugh, NASA announcing that it found flowing water on Mars is just part of some liberal scheme. “They’re lying about it. They’re just making up the amount of ice in the North and South Poles, they’re making up the temperatures, they’re lying and making up false charts and so forth. So what’s to stop them from making up something that happened on Mars that will help advance their left-wing agenda on this planet? OK so there’s flowing water on Mars. Yip yip yip yahoo. You know me, I’m science 101, big time guy, tech advance it, you know it, I’m all in. But, NASA has been corrupted by the current regime. I want to find out what they’re going to tell us. OK, flowing water on Mars. If we’re even to believe that, what are they going to tell us that means? That’s what I’m going to wait for. Because I guarantee, let’s just wait and see, this is September 28, let’s just wait and see. Don’t know how long it’s going to take, but this news that there is flowing water on Mars is somehow going to find its way into a technique to advance the leftist agenda.”


Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert is said to be negotiating a plea deal in the case of him structuring financial withdrawals to payoff someone in relation to alleged sexual misconduct with a male student back in his teaching days. The lawyers have asked the judge for more time to reach a settlement.


A special committee in Brazil's legislature has proposed a bill that would define marriage as between a man and a woman, attempting to roll back legalization that came through the courts. They minority party managed to get the bill introduced over the objections of the ruling party.


Four men in Michigan, aged 18, 20, 24, and 27 are facing felony charges for sex with a minor they met on Grindr. It's wasn't some sex party either, each met the 15-year-old separately. A family member became aware of the sexual encounters and reported it on behalf of the now 16-year-old. This is one of those things you go, yes, this is wrong, unequivocally. But you also look at a pattern from the youth, using a service that says you have to be 18, representing himself that way, and one of his partners being only 18 and you wonder about it. When in doubt, ask for ID. I've done it before. Seriously.


Graham Norton says that men his age aren't interested in dating someone their own age. “But then I look at the relationships people around me have and I find myself asking, ‘Really? That doesn’t look like winning to me. I’ve reached the point that when people ask, ‘Are you single at the moment?’, I say, ‘Come on, you can drop the ‘at the moment’.’ I’m single forever. That’s the weird thing. Gay men my age don’t want to date someone their age.”


Senator John McCain, who is normally a voice of reason (unless he can bomb something) is siding with Kim Davis. “I think she was right in that she can exercise the dictates of her conscience and everyone should respect that. I do not believe that therefore she should violate the law. She should have just said, ‘I refuse to do it.’ Just like Hobby Lobby case, which we won, because those people were allowed to exercise their religious beliefs by the United States Supreme Court.”


Saudi Arabia is protesting any inclusion of equality in the UN Sustainable Development Goals, saying "mentioning sex in the text, to us, means exactly male and female. Mentioning family means consisting of a married man and woman." They're asserting a right not to follow any "deviations" from Muslim law.


Azealia Banks is enjoying the reaction she got from saying she wanted to spray a gay man with pepper spray, tweeting "All I had to do was say one word and I moved a whole community. What weaklings!!! ?" She added a lot of things, but "I’m not a weak bitch, being called a dyke or a nigger does absolutely nothing to move me" and If I am to be a part of an LGBT community I want to be in it with people who aren’t so weak or so easily moved ya know." Well, frankly, I don't want to be a part of any community with you, Azealia, so that's fine if you want to leave. And that folks, ends my discussion of Azealia Banks. Forever. She can say whatever she wants, but I'm not giving her any more press. Let her fade away to insignificance, just like her album.


Ellen has Matt Damon on today, and in typical Ellen fashion, she gives her guest a chance to respond unchallenged to something they've said. Damon addresses his comments that said that gay actors would be better off in the closet, but says that they were taken out of context, and his main point was that actors function best when there's some mystery. It's not far off from what this column said, although even here it calls him out on the double standard. My thing is that Matt is known as a bleeding heart liberal, but he's really stuck his foot in his mouth twice in the past week, and both times he's blamed it on editing, which is starting to stretch credulity.

Judith Light spoke to a local station about Danny Pintauro coming out as HIV+, how she helped him through coming out as gay, but also expanded the conversation to how far gay rights have come, but how far they have to go, and the stigma that surrounds being HIV+ in society. Basically she proved that she's a perfect ally, which we already knew, but it's stunning to see her display it off the cuff.

Colton Haynes is the latest celebrity to do a ridiculous commercial for a mobile game, and in it he puts his fellow subway passengers in mortal danger, battling a dragon on his behalf.

Riyadh K tried a social experiment, calling one of his childhood bullies to discuss what had happened between them so many years ago. They major takeaway is that kids don't always realize what they're doing, and frankly, they can grow up to be perfectly fine human beings, even if they caused you trauma in the past. Kids are kids, and they don't always understand what they're doing. But it's a truly powerful video.
