When asked by Entertainment Tonight where trans people should go when nature calls, Dash, who never turns down an opportunity to run her mouth, replied, “Go in the bushes. I don’t know what to tell you, but I’m not gonna put my child’s life at risk because you want to change a law.”

Naturally, the Internet had a field day over the remarks and Dash’s shamelessly transphobic attitude.

Just remember that before FOX News, @REALStaceyDash‘s biggest claim to fame was playing a 16-year-old when she was like, 50.

Gay Grandson of Hamas Founder Finds Solace in the American Dream: WATCH
The gay grandson of one of the founders of the terrorist organization Hamas has found refuge in the United States after a protracted battle to avoid being deported to a certain death at the hands of his family in the Middle East.
We first told you about John Calvin and his fight to avoid being deported from Canada last summer. Calvin fled to Canada from Palestine at the age of 14 when he learned his father was going to participate in an honor killing. Calvin says his uncles have both been involved in terrorist actions and are constantly in and out of jail. Calvin didn’t want anything to do with Hamas, though, and once safe in North America, he came out as gay.
Unfortunately, Calvin was not able to win his legal fight to remain in Canada. Rather than face certain death in Palestine, he fled to the U.S. “I decided the best course of action was to flee home and come to the U.S. rather than be deported and sent to my death,” Calvin said.
After being arrested by American border patrol agents and being detained for 7 months, he was ultimately granted permission to stay in the U.S. because his father had told CNNMoney in an interview last year that he and his family have “the right to retaliate against” Calvin if he were to return.
The immigration judge dismissed Calvin’s application for asylum in the United States, but according to Calvin, used his father’s admission to CNNMoney as evidence to grant him deferred removal under the UN Convention against Torture.
“He does believe, evidently, that I will be under threat of torture and death, and thus I should be granted protection under the convention against torture,” Calvin says.
“The judge has found it would be against our law to deport him, even though he’s not eligible for any form of discretionary relief,” Eli Echols, immigration attorney with Socheat Chea, P.C., told CNNMoney.
According to Echols, while Calvin won’t be deported, he can’t become a permanent resident, but can apply for a work permit on a yearly basis, which will enable him to get a social security number.
Calvin was not able to apply for asylum status in either the U.S. or Canada because of his family’s ties to terrorism.
Calvin says he believes in the American dream and is already fantasizing about his version of it, which involves a law degree, a husband and two kids.
Now living in New York, Calvin can live openly gay without fear of retribution. “It’s like gay Bethlehem,” he says of the city. He also adds that the historic Stonewall Inn was the first place he came to in New York. “It was liberating.”

Cop Called To End Heated Fight At Gay Bar, Stays For Karaoke, Kills It
It all began when a man threw his drink over some fracas involving his lady friend. After being kicked out, he repeatedly tried muscling his way back into the bar to continue the fight. That’s when police got involved: up to 10 officers hurried over to Waterloo Bar, a gay bar in Glasgow, to take care of the disturbance.

Once of those officers — Sergeant Jon Harris — wound up taking to the stage to sing a gutsy rendition of Gloria Gaynor’s way-played classic “I Will Survive.” (No, he doesn’t strip, unfortunately.)

Michelle Obama Unleashes Blistering Rebuke of Donald Trump – WATCH
Delivering a commencement address at City College New York on Friday, First Lady Michelle Obama rebuked Donald Trump without even having to mention him by name. To those in attendance, however, the subject of the First Lady’s ire was all but clear.
Said Mrs. Obama,
[Some folks out there today] seem to view our diversity as a threat to be contained rather than as a resource to be tapped. They tell us to be afraid of those who are different, to be suspicious of those with whom we disagree. They act as if name-calling is an acceptable substitute for thoughtful debate. As if anger and intolerance should be our default state rather than optimism and openness that have always been the engine of our progress.
But graduates, I can tell you that as First Lady, I have had the privilege of traveling around the world, and visiting dozens of different countries, and I have seen what happens when ideas like these take hold. I have seen how leaders rule by intimidation, leaders who demonize and dehumanize entire groups of people often do so because they have nothing else to offer. And I have seen how places that stifle the voices and dismiss the potential of their citizens are diminished, how they are less vital, less hopeful, less free.
Graduates that is not who we are. That is not what this country stands for. No, no, here in America, we don’t let our differences tear us apart. Not here.
The first lady then ticked through a list of cultural and historical landmarks created by people who were not born in the United States, including Google, eBay, the artificial heart, the telephone, blue jeans, Russian-born Irving Berlin’s “God Bless America,” the Brooklyn Bridge and the White House.
The greatness of the United States, she mused, has “never come from folks who climbed the ladder of success or who happened to be born near the top and then pulled the ladder up after themselves.”
“No, uh-uh,” she continued, to applause. “Our greatness has always come from people who expect nothing and take nothing for granted, folks who work hard for what they have and then reach back and help others after them. That is your story, graduates, and that is the story of your families. And it’s the story of my family, too.”
Speaking of the historic nature of her husband’s presidency, a presidency which Mr. Trump has sought to delegitimize, Mrs. Obama added,
“And graduates, it’s the story that I witness every single day when I wake up in a house that was built by slaves, and I watch my daughters, two beautiful black young women head off to school waving goodbye to their father, the president of the United States, the son of a man from Kenya who came here to America for the same reasons as many of you: to get an education and improve his prospects in life.”
