High School Students Circulated ‘Gay List’ Online, Naming 100 Classmates as ‘The Biggest F*gs’ — WATCH
High School Students Circulated ‘Gay List’ Online, Naming 100 Classmates as ‘The Biggest F*gs’ — WATCH
Three Vancouver high school seniors have been suspended after creating a so-called “gay list” (the actual name of the list used a homophobic slur) of 100 classmates at Eric Hamber Secondary School and circulated the private Google doc online, sharing it to Snapchat as well.
News 1130 reports: ‘NEWS 1130 spoke with the sister of an Eric Hamber student who posted about the list on Facebook. While she didn’t want her name on the record she confirmed the list was published in a Google Doc, with 100 names of Grade 12 students. She remembers the title including something along the lines of “The biggest F**s at Eric Hamber.” She added that she doesn’t believe the list authors were trying to out anyone, rather that they were using homophobic slurs to stigmatize both gay and straight students, something she says made her angry as soon as she learned about it.’
CTV adds: ‘”A list of members of the school community, containing inappropriate content, was circulated,” the board told CTV News in an email. “As the matter is further assessed, appropriate disciplinary actions will be taken in addition to ensuring students and staff receive the supports they need.” Public schools across the city are committed to a “safe, inclusive, equitable and welcoming learning and working environment,” the VSB added.
The day after the list was shared, some students put up rainbow flags in school hallways, according to one student.

Jussie Smollett Indicted on 16 Felony Counts for Staging False Hate Crime: WATCH
Jussie Smollett Indicted on 16 Felony Counts for Staging False Hate Crime: WATCH
Empire actor Jussie Smollett was indicted on 16 felony counts of disorderly conduct late Thursday. He is set to appear in court on March 14 where he will enter a plea and a judge will be assigned to the case.
Jussie Smollett Grand Jury … by on Scribd
“The specific allegations–“false report of offense”– are Class 4 felonies,” CBS Chicago reports. “The indictment expands the case against the actor. The counts focus on allegedly false statements he made to two different Chicago Police officers. Each count covers various alleged acts that Smollett falsely described to the officers–including that he was hit by two men, that they yelled racial and homophobic slurs and poured a chemical on him.”
“A conviction on any count could lead to a sentence ranging from probation to up to three years in prison,” the Chicago Tribune reports.
The Tribune adds: ‘Smollett, who is African-American and openly gay, has said he was walking from a Subway sandwich shop to his apartment in the 300 block of East North Water Street around 2 a.m. Jan. 29 when two men walked up, yelled racial and homophobic slurs, hit him and wrapped a noose around his neck. Smollett said they also yelled, “This is MAGA country,” referring to President Donald Trump’s campaign slogan of “Make America Great Again.”’
Watch a report from CBS Chicago on the indictments:
At a press conference on February 21, Chicago Police Chief Eddie Johnson reported that Smollett had turned himself in after testimony from two brothers, Abel and Ola Osundairo, who said that Smollett had paid them to stage the attack.
Speaking of the hoax attack, Johnson said, “‘Empire’ actor Jussie Smollett took advantage of the pain and anger of racism to promote his career.”
Johnson said “This stunt was orchestrated by Smollett because he was dissatisfied with his salary, so he concocted a story about being attacked.”
Said Johnson: “I’m left hanging my head and asking why. Why would anyone, especially an African-American man, use the symbolism of a noose to make false accusations?”
Added Johnson: “Bogus police reports cause real harm. They do harm to every legitimate victim who’s in need of support by police and investigators.”
“I’m also concerned about what this means moving forward for hate crimes,” said Johnson. “My concern is that hate crimes will now publicly be met with a level of skepticism that previously didn’t happen.”

Tinder Opens its Doors to Support International Women’s Day and Promote #BalanceForBetter
Tinder Opens its Doors to Support International Women’s Day and Promote #BalanceForBetter
#BalanceForBetter“>
We’re excited to announce some new initiatives in celebration of International Women’s Day – that will extend far beyond today.
Tinder connects the community to good causes.
While we want to help you connect with each other, we also want to connect you to causes that matter. Tinder will offer up to $1 million in in-app advertising for eligible nonprofits as part of an ongoing effort to connect the Tinder community to causes around the world. And today, in celebration of International Women’s Day, we’re kicking it off with a campaign for She’s The First – an international organization fighting gender inequality through education.
#BalanceForBetter“>
For our first round of applications we’re specifically asking to hear from organizations dedicated to bettering the advancement and well-being of women, but we welcome all nonprofits to apply for in-kind advertising on Tinder. Please visit here for details.
Tinder opens doors for women in the workforce.
That’s why we’re opening our doors for women in tech—literally. On March 26, Tinder will host a panel discussion and meet-and-greet featuring women making an impact across Los Angeles’ tech scene.
#BalanceForBetter“>
We’re committed to doing our part to drive #balanceforbetter in our workplace and in our industry—and that means opening doors for women at every stage of their careers. For our 2019 internship program, we are targeting 65 percent of positions for female interns, because a foot in the door is just as important as a fist through the glass ceiling.
Tinder commits to closing the pay gap.
We believe change is necessary and we know that real change—the kind that endures—must come from within. In 2018, we partnered with an outside firm to do a comprehensive pay equity audit to make sure that there weren’t disparities at Tinder. We’re excited that all statistical evidence indicates that Tinder has achieved pay equity, and we are committed to maintaining our leadership in this space.
Happy International Women’s Day!
