Pawn Stars’ Host Fears Losing Show Over Marco Rubio Support, Drops Incredibly Offensive Anti-Trans Comment
It does worry me to a degree. You get these massive liberal PC police, they don’t see the law of unintended consequences. You have some cities that are saying that if you have a man who feels like he’s a woman, he can use the women’s restroom. I guarantee you that will be taken advantage of by some very bad men who want to go into a bathroom where there’s young ladies. That will happen if you pass a law like that. It’s not a perfect world. You’ll never make it a perfect world.”

Open Question: LGBT Acceptance in Colorado?
So I live in a middle of nowhere kind of town in Tennessee where racism and hate thrives. I crossdress and would thoroughly enjoy being able to wear what I want where I want without judgmental eyes, double-takes, laughing and the overall discrimination that I would get living here. I m moving to Colorado soon so it ll be a clean slate and I wouldn t know anyone and I thought it would be the best place and time to stop hiding it and be a little more out front about it. So I was wondering if anyone could give advice, or anything.

Facebook Responds to Criticism of 'Real Name' Policy — With Real Change
It’s the biggest change at Facebook since the social network introduced a wide variety of gender identifiers in recognition of the non-conforming users who don’t fit the traditional binary.
Facebook announced Friday its “real name” policy — which led to drag queens, drag kinds, transgender users and others who used aliases to be reported — is being changed, reported Gay Star News.
The new format, according to VP of Growth for Facebook, Alex Schultz, is for users to be able to use the names they’re known by, to friends, to family and fans.
“We also understand the challenges for many transgender people when it comes to formally changing one’s name,” Schultz wrote.
“That’s why we’re making changes now and in the future, and will continue to engage with you and all who are committed to looking after the most vulnerable people using our product.”
Facebook will now allow users to provide details on why they’ve chosen a certain name for their account if it’s not their legal name.
Facebook will now allow users who are flagged for using a possibly inauthentic name to be able to get back into their locked accounts more easily.
And the burden of proof will now be placed upon the people who flag a name as fake, according to Schultz. Those reporting an allegedly fake name will have to provide some evidence, in an effort to prevent trolling, a frequent complaint among trans users.
“We are deeply invested in making [this policy] better,’ Schultz wrote.
“I’ve seen first hand how people – including LGBT people – can be bullied online by people using fake or impersonating accounts.”
But the policy won’t be totally scrapped. Facebook’s “authentic identity” policy will be maintained. Schulz has said it reduces trolling by making people accountable for their actions online.
“When people use the name others know them by, they are more accountable for what they say, making it more difficult to hide behind an anonymous name to harass, bully, spam or scam someone else,” said Schulz.
Earlier this month, organizations including the ACLU and Electronic Frontier Foundation wrote an open letter to Facebook, asking for the policy to be changed to
“provide equal treatment and protection for all who use and depend on Facebook as central platform for online expression and communication.”
“It’s a balance to get this right,” Schultz wrote in reply. “We want to find a line that minimizes bullying but maximizes the potential for people to be their authentic selves on Facebook.”

New Zealand’s Rugby Team Perform ‘Haka’ After Winning World Cup: WATCH
At the Rugby World Cup final in London yesterday, the New Zealand All Blacks performed two hakas, traditional Māori “war dances”, that mesmerized audiences in the stadium and watching from around the globe.
Video of the first haka performed before the game has racked up nearly 600,000 views on YouTube since it was posted online. After defeating Australia in the Cup final at Twickenham Stadium in London, the All Blacks performed a second celebratory haka.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports:
On an occasion such as this, with the All Blacks becoming the first team to win back-to-back World Cups, one Haka was never going to be enough. After going with their ‘Kapa O Panga’ Haka before their 34-17 win over the Wallabies at Twickenham, New Zealand celebrated in style with a traditional ‘Ka Mate’ Haka after claiming the William Webb Ellis Cup. The silverware was laid out on the ground in front as the All Blacks paid tribute to their fans as well as six of their departing players, including inspirational captain Richie McCaw and five-eighth Dan Carter, whose brilliant boot helped them to victory. It was an emotional moment after the All Blacks cemented their place as the best team in rugby and one of the greatest in world sport.
The haka is generally thought of as way to spook and intimidate opponents, and New Zealand did triumph 34-17 over Australia. But the haka most commonly performed by the All Blacks, the Ka Mate, has an entirely different meaning if you consider the lyrics.
The song was composed by Te Rauparaha, war leader of the Ngāti Toa tribe, after he hid in a food storage pit to hide from his enemies.
“That certain haka is actually about being victories because the person who composed it, he was actually being hunted at the time by a rival tribe. That haka was actually a haka of celebration that he was still alive,” says Paraone Gloyne, a well-known haka dance performer, teacher and composer.
Also described as an ancestral war cry, or a “challenge,” haka has its own vocabulary and traditions.
Watch both hakas, below:
These hakas were certainly stunning. Though they don’t quite top this wet, shirtless haka performed in the rain back in 2014.
