Mike Huckabee “Resigns” From Country Music Association Foundation Board After Major Backlash

Entertainment, Featured, Religious Morons and Anti-Gay Idiots, , , , , , ,

Former Arkansas Governor and anti-LGBT “Christian Nationalist”  Mike Huckabee resigned on Thursday from the Country Music Association Foundation board of directors after criticism from multiple members of the country music industry. 

Huckabee held the position for less than a week.

The announcement follows pointed criticism from members of the country music industry, as well as fans — much of it stemming from Huckabee’s stance on LGBT issues.

Jason Owen, co-president of Monument Records and owner at Sandbox Entertainment, called the appointment a “grossly offensive decision” in an email to the association’s CEO Sarah Trahern and CMA Foundation executive Tiffany Kerns. 

Owen wrote that due to Huckabee’s election to the CMA Foundation’s board, neither his companies nor anyone they represent would continue to support the foundation.

Owen and his husband, Sam, are fathers to a young son and are expecting twins. Owen said that Huckabee’s stance on the LGBT community “made it clear my family is not welcome in his America.”

Huckabee speaks of the sort of things that would suggest my family is morally beneath his and uses language that has a profoundly negative impact upon young people all across this country,” he added. “Not to mention how harmful and damaging his deep involvement with the NRA is. What a shameful choice.”

The CMA Foundation is the charitable arm of the Country Music Association, devoted to growing and supporting music education programs across the country. Its board consists of 12 members. Huckabee’s inclusion on the board had sparked hundreds of comments from outraged fans on social media.

In Huckabee’s letter of resignation he wrote:

I genuinely regret that some in the industry were so outraged by my appointment that they bullied the CMA and the Foundation with economic threats and vowed to withhold support for the programs for students if I remained.  

I’m somewhat flattered to be of such consequence when all I thought I was doing was voluntarily serving on a non-profit board without pay in order to (continue) my decades of advocacy for the arts and especially music.”

Poor bullied Mike Huckabee.

Let’s all make sure to send him our thoughts and prayers.

BREAKING! – Trump Fires Anthony”The Big Mooch” Scaramucci As Communications Director

Featured, Gay News Domestic & U.S. Politics, , , , ,

 

Now that didn’t take long did it?  Think “cocks” had anything to do with it?

President Trump has decided to remove Anthony Scaramucci from his position as communications director, three people close to the decision said Monday, relieving him just days after Mr. Scaramucci unloaded a crude verbal tirade against other senior members of the president’s senior staff.

Mr. Scaramucci’s abrupt removal came just 10 days after the wealthy New York financier was brought on to the West Wing staff, a move that convulsed an already chaotic White House and led to the departures of Sean Spicer, the former press secretary, and Reince Priebus, the president’s first chief of staff.

The decision to remove Mr. Scaramucci, who had boasted about reporting directly to the president not the chief of staff, John F. Kelly, came at Mr. Kelly’s request, the people said. Mr. Kelly made clear to members of the White House staff at a meeting Monday morning that he is in charge. It was not clear whether Mr. Scaramucci will remain employed at the White House in another position or will leave altogether. – via The New York Times

Damn.  I’ve had GRINDR hook-ups that lasted longer then Scaramucci.

UNEMPLOYED! – Tennessee Anti-Gay Lawmaker Stacey Campfield Gets His Ass Kicked In Primary.

Featured, Of Interest, , , ,

Campfield is gay

 

Tennessee’s most rabid anti-gay state lawmaker, known for pushing the most extreme anti-gay legislation and making remarks that made even members of his own party cringe, LOST his primary battle on Thursday.

State Sen. Stacey Campfield (R) was soundly defeated in the state’s District 7 ,getting only 28 percent of the vote. Cardiac surgeon Richard Briggs won the primary with a whopping 66 percent.

Campfield once inaccurately made comments about the origins of AIDS in an interview on SiriusXM OutQ with host Michelangelo Signorile, who is also the editor-at-large of HuffPost Gay Voices.

“Most people realize that AIDS came from the homosexual community — it was one guy screwing a monkey, if I recall correctly, and then having sex with men. It was an airline pilot, if I recall,” he said.

But Campfield became most widely known for sponsoring legislation in 2011 that was referred to as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which would have made it illegal for teachers to discuss homosexuality with students in kindergarten through the eighth grade. Campfield has repeatedly attempted to pass the legislation, but it has not become law.

Campfield is 46, unmarried, and  spends 100% of his time thinking about gay sex and will soon be appearing at a rest-stop near you.

Hasslebeck fired from The View

Well it looks like  Joy Behar, isn’t the only lady leaving The View.

US Weekly reports that Elisabeth Hasseldreck Hasselbeck has been let go because her extremist right-wing ways were causing viewers to tune out and not watch the show.

According to the source, the show’s resident conservative voice is being ousted after market research revealed that she isn’t popular with TV audiences.

“The viewers they polled all said she was too extreme and right wing,” the insider tells Us. “People did not watch the show because of Elisabeth, so they told her yesterday her contract would not be renewed.”

When reached for comment, a rep for the show told Us in a statement: “Elisabeth Hasselbeck is a valued member of The View and has a long term contract.”

We shall see.  We shall see.

Brooke Shields is rumored to be joining the table as Behar’s replacement.

 

Motor City Moron Ted Nugent: ‘Evidence Is Irrefutable’ the Parkland Student Activists ‘Have No Soul’

Discovery Channel Cancels ‘American Guns,’ Reality Show and Kicks Ted Nugent’s Ass To The Curb

Entertainment, Featured, , , , , ,

There maybe a little integrity and sensitivity left on television after all as the Discovery Channel says it has not renewed “American Guns,” won’t air reruns from its past two seasons and will no longer feature Tea Party lunatic and gun advocate Ted Nugent and has kicked his crazy ass to the curb.

E! News reported that the network did not say whether the decision to cancel the show was  directly connected to last week’s mass shooting at Sandy Hook  Elementary School in Newtown, Conn but “American Guns” who wrapped its second season Sept. 5. The ratings hit for Discovery.

Raw Story website reported Tuesday a Discovery Channel representative confirmed Nugent will not be featured in future programs.

After Friday’s devastating massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, the spokesperson said that Nugent would definitely not be returning to the Discovery Channel.

Nugent and his allies at the National Rifle Association (NRA) repeatedly claimed that his hour-long Discovery Channel special was actually a planned “series.” The Detroit native and tea party lunatic told Armed America Radio listeners in October to “expect that there will be at least a dozen shows a year.” The channel’s spokesperson confirmed that this was never actually in the works.

Last April Nugent went on record stating:  I’ll tell you this right now, if Barack Obama becomes the president in November again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next  year,”

Little did he know it was actually the unemployment line he was talking about.  Which are “entitlements” of course and as a card-carrying Tea Party member he doesn’t believe in.  But will be the first in line when it comes to applying and getting them.

Featured, Gay News From Around The Globe, Religious Morons and Anti-Gay Idiots, , , , ,

19 year old Eric  Jones, an Eagle Scout and camp counselor for the Boy Scouts in Missouri, came out to the camp director over the weekend was fired and told to pack his bags and leave.

“He said I was deserving to be there, but he had  to follow the policy of BSA,” Jones said.

Jones said that while he knew  of the Boy Scouts policy, he thought that the director “would overlook it”  because he had been working at the camp for nearly five years.

“This is definitely good for me. (coming out) I’m generally  happy,” Jones said, describing how he feels a day later. “But most  importantly, I feel discriminated,” he added.

While the BSA recently announced it would review its policy on gays after a petition campaign from GLAAD inspired by the ousting of Ohio den mother  Jennifer Tyrrell, one that Eagle Scout Zach Wahls has also been heavily involved  in.

According to the Daily News in a statement given to them by a BSA spokesman: “Contrary to media reports, the Boy Scouts of America has no plans to change its  membership policy. We do not grant  membership to individuals who are open or avowed homosexuals or who engage in  behavior that would become a distraction to the mission of the BSA.”

AM 1280 pulled Dean after he engaged in a six-minute song mocking African Americans and then likened President Obama to Osama bin Laden.  This was one day BEFORE Dean stood before the Minnesota House and offered a “prayer” that resulted in an outcryt House members.

 Dean’s “fundraising” at Wal-Mart stores came to a head on Tuesday after Sally Jo Sorenson of Bluestem Prairie noticed them outside the Hutchinson Wal-Mart and attempted to ask ministry employees questions about their fundraising.  When Walmart was notified Wal-Mart they found out that the “ministry” falsified information in its application to raise funds at the stores.

Anti-Gay Nutjob Michigan Ex-Assistant Attorny General Andrew Shrivell Has Long History Of LGBT Harassment

Uncategorized, , , , ,

Andrew Shrivill the ex- ssistant state attorney general of Michigan who was fired in November after public outrage after stalking, harassing  and starting a blog that slurred openly gay University of Michigan assembly president, Chris Armstrong, as a racist with a “radical homosexual agenda” 

A recent report has now stated that Shirvell has a long history of anti-LGBT harassment according to report compiled by the attorney general’s office sending e-mails to a former state representative and others that included gay slurs, and also Shirvell harassed Armstrong’s friends as they were socializing in Ann Arbor and made numerous calls to U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office while Armstrong was working there as an intern.

After Shirvell’s harassment of Armstrong became known national criticism erupted  last fall. The attorney general’s office drew more than 22,000 e-mails, 150 letters and 940 phone calls, most advocating for Shirvell to be fired.  Attorney General Mike Cox said at the time that the firing came after a state investigation revealed that Shirvell “repeatedly violated office policies, engaged in borderline stalking behavior and inappropriately used state resources.”

Armstrong and his lawyer Deborah Gordon petitioned the state Attorney Grievance Commission to have Shirvell disbarred. That process is still ongoing. Gordon said Armstrong has not ruled out further legal action against Shirvell
