Justice Kennedy’s Male Lover Blackmailed Him To Vote For Marriage Equality, Semen Latte Pastor Says
Was Justice Anthony Kennedy blackmailed by his secret lover into voting in favor of marriage equality? According to antigay “semen latte” pastor James David Manning, yes. A million times yes!
While speaking with Rick Wiles at Trunews about “Obama’s satanic assault on America’s morality,” Manning veered somewhat off topic into la-la land to discuss the recent Supreme Court marriage ruling, arguing that “the Devil himself has written this opinion!”, meaning, apparently, the conservative Catholic Justice Kennedy.
“Perhaps Kennedy and many of those who are on the Supreme Court have had sodomite relations themselves,” Manning hypothesized, before suggesting the Justices were being blackmailed by their secret gay lovers: “They have got to support this sodomy, they’ve got to say it or otherwise they get exposed!”
Manning issued a warning to Americans: “Fifty years from now people will look back at this period and say, ‘My God from Zion, how could a nation have fallen, how could the mighty have fallen so quickly and so far and so low?”
“If,” Wiles added, “there’s anybody still alive in the United States of America 50 years from now!”

Wiles then suggested that the United States is “ripe to be overthrown” since “we no longer have the Lord’s protection” and “the Lord is no longer obligated to defend the United States of America,” which means “there’s a great attitude adjustment coming to the United States very, very soon!”
What do you think? Is Justice Kennedy a victim of blackmail? And will the United States be overthrown sometime in the next 50 years now that marriage equality is the law of the land?

YouTube Star Joey Graceffa Talks Coming Out, New Book In GLAAD Interview
YouTube star Joey Graceffa opened up about his decision to come out publicly as gay, telling GLAAD in a new interview that he wanted fans who may be struggling with their own sexuality “to not feel so alone.”
“Originally I needed something to encompass [my new book, In Real Life: My Journey Through a Pixelated World] in a video format,” Graceffa told GLAAD’s Claire Pires of “Don’t Wait,” the fairy tale-themed music video released in May, in which the 24-year-old addressed his sexuality for the first time. “So I thought it would be really cool to incorporate three main things in the music video: bullying, dealing with [my mother’s] alcoholism, coming to terms with your sexuality and accepting yourself.”
It turned out to be a winning approach. One month after it was posted, the “Don’t Wait” video has drawn over 8 million views.
Coming out, Graceffa added, put “an army” of speculation to rest, but it was far from the most difficult subject he delved into for the book.
“Talking about my history with my mom and her alcoholism was definitely really tough,” he said, “but also talking about my first dating experiences and getting my heart broken and re-living those moments…I guess I just have this thing of just pushing things aside in the back of my mind. Writing this, I had to go back through it all.”
In Real Life: My Journey Through a Pixelated World hit shelves on May 19.

Kobe Bryant has supportive words for Caitlyn Jenner and others being their ‘true self’
Caitlyn Jenner will receive the Arthur Ashe Courage Award tonight at the ESPY Awards in Los Angeles – the same city where Kobe Bryant has won five NBA championships for the Lakers.
Bryant was asked about Jenner earlier today by TMZ and he only had words of support for the 1976 Olympic champion.
‘I think people have to be comfortable being themselves,’ Bryant said. ‘Doesn’t matter what walk of life you’re in, man, you gotta be comfortable being you. You got to be comfortable in your own skin.’
Bryant said he had met Jenner as the Bruce and believes he can continue to achieve great things as Caitlyn.
‘You got to be comfortable being who you are, man – that’s the philosophy behind it all,’ he said.
‘Be comfortable being you.’
Bryant, 36, has become much more thoughtful when it comes to LGBTI people in recent years.
It was only back in 2011 that Bryant called a referee a ‘faggot’ during the heat of a basketball game. The criticism was swift and he delivered the expected apology.
Then in 2013, Bryant took things a step further without any prodding.
In the middle of a Twitter exchange, he told a fan to stop using ‘you’re gay’ as an insult.
‘Just letting you know that using (you’re) gay as a way to put someone down ain’t ok! Delete that out of ur vocab!’
When some called Bryant a hypocrite because of his own 2011 incident using a gay slur, he replied: ‘Exactly! That wasn’t cool and ignorant on my part. I own it and learn from it and expect the same from others.’

Men, You “Need To Perform Kegel Exercises” To Improve Your Sex Life
According to female Details contributor K. Aleisha Fetters, “Your penis needs a workout.”
And since she isn’t offering any tips on finding a spotter, the real message is men “need to perform Kegel exercises,” those tightening exercises of the pelvic floor’s pubococcygeus (PC) muscles.

You likely remember the term from Sex and the City, when Samantha demonstrated her expertise while brunching with the ladies. Typically associated with women as way of — how is it Fetters puts it? — “preventing that ‘hot dog flying down a hallway’ feeling,” men can also expect all sorts of promising benefits from Kegels. Everything from curbing premature ejaculation and curing ED to making your dick point up like a cobra being charmed out of a wicker basket. Oh, and an oh-so-elusive promise of “more intense orgasms,” because when has a magazine ever promised its readers that?
Most of the logic is fairly sound — strengthen the muscles that support erections and you’ll improve blood flow and gain added control during intimate encounters.
As Brian L. Steixner, M.D., director of the Institute for Men’s Health at Jersey Urology Group notes, “ED is really just a heart attack of the penis.” So think twice the next time you’re tempted to penetrate a doughnut. Trans fats, people. Wake up.

As far as delaying climax, Kegels have something real to offer. When you contract the PC muscles, it sends a message to your brain that it’s time to pee. Pardon the medical jargon, but the penis only has one hole. Performing the exercises when you feel a big finish approaching can help you continue on like the sex god we’re sure you’re destined to be.
Then the science gets a little more fuzzy.
“Some research shows that Kegel exercises can make erections point further up in men whose penises tend to point down or straight forward when erect,” says urologist Darius A. Paduch. Well as long as some research shows it, it’s got to be true.
Fetters prescribes three sets of ten, three times a day to achieve results.
Start clenching, people.

Man Fired Over Anti-Gay Social Media Post Sues Ford, Job Firm
Thomas Banks, an Ypsilanti, Michigan man, has sued the Ford Motor Company and a job firm, claiming his 2014 firing was a violation of his religious freedom and civil rights.
In 2014, Banks publicly condemned Ford for their pro-gay policies, accusing the company in an internet comment of “endorsing and promoting sodomy.” Banks was fired for the comment.
His suit seeks an unspecified amount for loss of wages, mental anguish, emotional distress, humiliation, shame and anxiety. Speaking with the Detroit Free Press, spokespeople for Ford said they have not yet seen the complaint, so are “not in a position to comment on it.” Rapid Global Business Solutions, the job firm being sued by Banks, also said they have not yet seen the lawsuit.
Previously, in January of this year, Banks brought a complaint against the two companies via nonprofit organization Liberty Institute, alleging religious discrimination. On April 13, the EEOC notified Banks of their decision not to pursue his complaint.
