US Military Nude Female Photo Investigation Expands to Male Servicemembers Found on Gay Adult Sites

Pentagon

A U.S. military investigation into images of female service members shared on websites without their consent has been expanded to include numerous gay porn websites containing men in military uniforms having sex.

USA Today reports:

The broadened investigation to an increasing number of websites underscores the complexity of policing social media sites where sensitive images can be uploaded in an instant for all to see. In the case of the sites with gay pornography, military investigators will be tasked with determining whether active-duty troops were involved in conduct that could bring discredit on their service, a potential violation of military law.

The Marine Corps is not the only service affected. Images of men in the uniforms of sailors, soldiers and airmen also appear on an array of Tumblr sites. Similar to the Marines United case, it is unclear whether men appearing in the images — some photographed engaging in sex — provided consent to have their images shared publicly. Victims of so-called revenge porn in the Marines United case have limited protection under military law if the photographs or videos were taken originally with their consent.

A joint military task force is investigating and briefed Congress on Thursday.

Investigators are reportedly using face recognition software to comb the photos and determine the identities of the men involved in order to contact them.

Arkansas House Advances Anti-Transgender Bill H.B. 1986

Arkansas House Advances Anti-Transgender Bill H.B. 1986

Today, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) civil rights organization, blasted the Arkansas House of Representatives for advancing H.B. 1986, an anti-transgender bill, to the Senate. The bill clearly intends to discriminate against transgender Arkansans by making it criminal for a transgender person to access a sex-segregated space consistent with their gender identity.

The measure would make it a crime for transgender Arkansans to use the facilities that correspond to their gender identity, and would open them up to further discrimination and ostracization. It would impose a criminal record on a transgender person who discreetly avails themselves of a locker room or similar facility that is consistent with their gender identity – even if they haven’t done anything wrong.

“Simply put, H.B. 1986 targets transgender Arkansans, just because of who they are. HRC Arkansas opposes any bill that singles out LGBTQ Arkansans for discrimination, and, laudably, Gov. Asa Hutchinson also opposes unnecessary anti-transgender legislation,” said Kendra R. Johnson, HRC Arkansas state director. “Millions of Americans live in cities and states with affirmative non-discrimination protections that ensure transgender people are able to access places of public accommodation — including theaters, grocery stores, coffee shops and gas stations — and those protections date back decades in many places. Arkansas should learn from the mistake North Carolina made with its disastrous HB2 law, and reject this discriminatory measure.”

H.B. 1986 is one of several egregious anti-LGBTQ bills introduced in Arkansas this legislative session. By making it illegal for transgender people to access restroom or locker facilities consistent with their identity, it opens them up to increased discrimination and harassment — as well as criminal consequences – as they simply go about their everyday lives. It also exposes Arkansas to tremendous risk of the kind of financial, legal, and political blowback that has beset North Carolina since the passage of HB2.​

In 2014, HRC launched Project One America, an initiative geared towards advancing social, institutional and legal equality in Arkansas, Alabama and Mississippi. HRC Arkansas continues to work to advance equality for LGBTQ Arkansans who have no state level protections in housing, workplace, or public accommodations. Through HRC Arkansas, we are working toward a future of fairness every day — changing hearts, minds and laws toward achieving full equality.

From #AlternativeFacts to “Ivanka’s stuff,” Kellyanne Conway’s greatest hits told in memes

For a political strategist and professional spokesperson, Kellyanne Conway has made an alarming number of embarrassing gaffes during her short tenure as Donald Trump’s counselor.

Whether it’s sharing “alternative facts,” inventing fictional terrorist attacks, or suggesting Obama installed hidden cameras in the Trump Tower microwaves, one thing is certain: Whenever Kellyanne opens her mouth, the sh*t just flies.

Let’s take a look at some of her greatest hits (so far) told entirely in memes…

First, there was her inauguration day outfit
