College That Slut Shamed Dustin Lance Black Paid Him $26,050 To Not Sue
The local community college that disinvited Tom Daley’s boyfriend from speaking at a commencement ceremony last year after discovering his sex tape online agreed to pay him $3,000 for the ordeal, as well as an additional $26,050 to not sue them.
Pasadena Community College eventually let DLB give their 2014 commencement speech when some great reporting by the school’s newspaper inspired the Oscar-winning screenwriter to publicly condemn the school for slut shaming him.
Details of the deal were never reported publicly until this week, when the LA Times discovered the settlement agreement in documents obtained through a Public Records Act request.
The school’s Academic Senate president Eduardo Cairo called the settlement money a “complete misuse of public funds,” adding the AC was “extremely disappointed to hear that has happened.”
DLB has refused to comment on the agreement and a spokesperson for the school told the Times “the issue with Mr. Black has been resolved, and the district has no further comment at this time.”
Add this $26,050 to the $100,000 judgement Black received against the person who originally posted his sex tape online back in 2008, and we’d call it a pretty profitable “mistake.”

North Carolina High School Cancels Play With Gay Scene for 'Sexually-Explicit Overtones'
Though in 2010, it became the most widely-produced play among American High Schools, “Almost, Maine” has been cancelled due to opposition at a North Carolina high school, Maiden High School. The play is made up of nine vignettes about love, and one of the vignettes is about a gay couple.
According to WSOC, “some parents and area churches complained” about the play. The school then decided “Almost, Maine” was too controversial, cancelling it. In a statement on the decision, the school’s Principal Rob Bliss (pictured) cited “sexually-explicit overtones and multiple sexual innuendos that are not aligned with our mission and educational objectives.”
According to a Maiden student, Conner Baker, who spoke with ThinkProgress, the students had already paid for rights to produce the play — a cool $300. The show had already auditioned and was in rehearsals.
