Trisha Paytas' Fierce Body-Positive Anthem Reclaims The Term 'Fat Chicks'
“All my fat chicks where you at?”

That’s what author and body-positive vlogger Trisha Paytas asks in her new song and music video “Fat Chicks.” The video shows just how empowering life can be as a fat woman.

“All my fat chicks where you at? Now drop it low and shake that fat,” Paytas sings in the catchy chorus.

The 27-year-old preaches body-positivity throughout the entire song. Towards the middle of the video, Paytas slows the tempo and talks about why she embraces the label “fat.”

“Now I know, I know. Fat is a word used to negatively bring down the girls with a little extra junk in the trunk,” she says. “But being called ‘fat’ is just a label. A label put on to us by others who can’t handle all this wow, wow, wow. So I’ll take that label and wear it because it does not define me. You want to call me fat? Well, you’d be right. I am F-A-T: Fabulous and tasty.”

Paytas has received positive feedback about her fat-positive anthem from fans and media outlets. There’s nothing better than a catchy tune paired with some body love.

Go on with your bad, beautiful and fat self, Trisha.

Married Antigay Lawmaker Upholds ‘Traditional’ Marriage By Sexting With A Teenage College Freshman

Well what do you know, another champion of right-wing ‘family values’ turns out to be human just like the rest of us.

Missouri House Speaker John Diehl, whose campaign website boasts his belief in “personal responsibility,” has been not-so-secretly sexting with a 19-year-old college freshman who was part of the Missouri Capitol internship program.

Earlier this year, the state affiliate of the Family Research Council praised Diehl “for demonstrating moral leadership and true integrity in standing up for the sacred institution of marriage and the family values of the people of Missouri.” They added a special thanks for, “fighting to defend biblical marriage” after he filed an amicus brief in defense of the state’s anti-gay marriage amendment.”

Perhaps the ‘biblical marriage’ Diehl has so tirelessly been defending is the kind where men take multiple wives, because the married father of three certainly seems keen on the young lady.

In the texts, Diehl’s contact info goes from “John” to “Frank Underwood (sly half-smile emoji)” to “SOTMHOR,” and acronym for ‘Speaker of the Missouri House of Representatives.”

Here are some examples from the highly flirtatious communications:

Her: “You better take care of me.”

Diehl: “Like how?”

Her: “I’ll bet you’ll figure it out.”

Diehl: “I dunno. You have always been disappointed;)”

Her: “I just have high expectations, I guess. Thus far, you’ve done pretty well (an emoji blows a kiss)”

Diehl: “:). I kinda want to hear what you are expecting”

Then, shortly after, he types: “You will be in good hands :)”

At one point Diehl texts her “God I want you right now,” to which she replies “I wish you could have me right now.”

In another exchange, she sends a picture of herself in a bikini and Diehl responds: “Damn girl …”

“Nice”

Shortly after he writes: “I want to see more” followed by a smiling emoji.

Another exchange centered on Diehl texting that he was “Laying in bed looking at your pic :)”

She responded: “Mmmmm why can’t I be there :)”

These are the texts obtained by The Star:

The Streets Of Vienna Just Got A Whole Lot More Gay

Ah, Vienna.

The fine Austrian city is known for its friendly residents, stunning architecture, and, of course, its fine sausages. Now, the streets of the historic European city are getting a temporary makeover.

In an effort to improve road safety and promote tolerance, the the Austrian capital announced that it is replacing dozens of its gender-neutral traffic light figures with same-sex couples. Awww. How cute!

“The campaign is mainly targeted at raising awareness for traffic safety,” Andreas Baur, a spokesman for the city of Vienna, told NBC News. “But it is also pegged to the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest and the AIDS charity Lifeball in Vienna.”

Eurovision, you may recall, is the popular singing competition that brought us Conchita Wurst.

This isn’t the first time a European city has had a little fun with its traffic signals. Last year, the disproportionate number of female versus male figures in traffic lights in Dortmund, Germany, caused a backlash, with several political parties campaigning for gender equality.

Vienna’s new traffic lights will remain up through the end of June.
