A transgender hurdler was ruled ineligible for tryouts for the Tokyo Olympics. CeCe Telfer was disqualified for not meeting the testosterone requirements set forth in the World Athletics guidelines. The exact nature of her violation has not been made public, but Telfer could have too much testosterone at this time or during the past 12 months. World Athletics governs Olympic eligibility and two rules decide which biological men can compete in the women’s division. Eligibility requires approval of both rules.

On Sunday's AM Joy, MSNBC host Joy Reid served up a double helping of "Meathead" as liberal film maker Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Reiner, spent a segment ranting against President Donald Trump and his "hardcore racist" supporters. Michele Reiner invoked Nazi death camps as she called Trump "evil" and likened him to Adolf Hitler. Rob Reiner repeatedly accused Trump supporters of being "racists" if they agree that immigrants who cross the border illegally should be prosecuted, resulting in some being separated from their children during detention as required by law. Early in the segment, Rob Reiner declared: Let's...

Not to be outdone by a self-proclaimed D-list celebrity, the folks over at the ultraliberal Huffington Post are now getting in on the action as well, but instead of attacking the President, their hate is a little more universal. A Huffington Post editor used a homophobic slur, made anti-Semitic Holocaust jokes, and tweeted about hating police officers in old tweets, The Daily Caller has learned. Philip Lewis currently serves as the front page editor for the widely popular left-leaning site Huffington Post. Lewis’ Twitter page has a number of anti-Semitic jokes, including vile jokes about the Holocaust. He once tweeted,...

No, sexual harassers are not dominating the news in Canada, homophobes and Islamophobes are There are no outed sexual harassment bullies among Canadian Members of Parliament in Ottawa or in a nation whose own Liberal Government portrays its own people as homophobes and Islamophobes. Dozens of accused sexual harassers within the government, media and entertainment industry are being outed daily by a salivating mainstream media in the country next door, but in Canada it’s homophobes and Islamophobes that the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau-led Liberal Government is outing.

Vice President Joe Biden, who is considering a 2016 presidential run, on Saturday pledged his full support for gay and transgender equality while suggesting Republican and other White House candidates are “homophobes.” Speaking at the Human Rights Campaign’s annual gala in Washington, Biden said gays and lesbians shouldn’t fear Americans trying to undo gay marriage and other advances because the country has moved beyond homophobia. "There's homophobes still left,” he continued to laughter and applause, in his keynote address. “Most of them are running for president, I think."(continued)

Germany, China, Brazil and South Africa have criticised US plans to pump $600bn (£373bn) into the US economy. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said the US policy was "clueless" and would create "extra problems for the world". The US Federal Reserve could weaken the US dollar and hurt exports to America. China's Central Bank head Zhou Xiaochuan urged global currency reforms, while South Africa said developing countries would suffer most. He did not elaborate how the system should be changed. 'Undermining the G20' South Africa's finance minister Pravin Gordhan warned that "developing countries, including South Africa, would bear the brunt...

On the Monday of "Gay Pride Week" Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, one of the largest and most prestigious hospitals in New England, invited their staff to a special "Lesbian Gay Bisexual, Transgender Achievement Awards" ceremony -- "in recognition of the many outstanding contributions of individuals and groups to the advancement of LGBT issues in the community." This has now become a yearly event for Beth Israel. The last type of organization you would normally think of getting involved in the homosexual movement would be hospitals. After all, the enormous health problems directly connected with homosexual behavior are well documented....

The Court of Appeals for the U.S. Ninth Circuit upheld this summer an Oakland, Calif., city government declaration that the phrase "marriage is the foundation of the natural family and sustains family values" was inflammatory and promoted harassment based on so-called sexual orientation. The phrase was also deemed to be homophobic and disruptive. It seems a few Christian women working for Oakland's city government formed a Good News Employee Association, and in promoting the club, included the aforementioned phrase on a flier. Later, a lesbian worker complained that the flier made her feel "targeted" and "excluded." Most recently, hate crimes...

Gay Unions Sanctioned in Medieval Europe Jeanna Bryner LiveScience Staff Writer LiveScience.com Mon Aug 27, 12:00 PM ET Civil unions between male couples existed around 600 years ago in medieval Europe, a historian now says. Historical evidence, including legal documents and gravesites, can be interpreted as supporting the prevalence of homosexual relationships hundreds of years ago, said Allan Tulchin of Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania. If accurate, the results indicate socially sanctioned same-sex unions are nothing new, nor were they taboo in the past. “Western family structures have been much more varied than many people today seem to realize," Tulchin writes...

In "This Film Is Not Yet Rated," a documentary receiving its world premiere Wednesday at the Sundance Film Festival, Dick uses private investigators to unmask the identities of members of the Certification and Rating Administration, which the Motion Picture Assn. of America (MPAA) operates with the National Association of Theater Owners. The film also presents side-by-side scene comparisons that Kirby contends show how the board's decisions favor studio releases over independent films while also revealing sexist and homophobic attitudes. The film includes interviews with several filmmakers who have gone through the appeals process to avoid an NC-17, a restrictive rating...

Question: Ignoring all legal issues.... Would you care/object if your children's teacher was openly (not flaming) gay? Would it make any difference if the gay teacher was male or female? Would it make any difference if the gay person taught elementary, middle school or high school?

A federal court ruled the city of Oakland had a right to bar two employees from posting a flier promoting traditional family values on an office bulletin board. Employees Regina Rederford and Robin Christy posted the flier in response to an e-mail to city employees announcing formation of a gay and lesbian employee association. The two responded with a promotion of their own -- the start of an informal group that respects "the natural family, marriage and family values." But supervisors Robert Bobb, then city manager, and Joyce Hicks, then deputy director of the Community and Economic Development Agency, ordered...

<p>There has been a great big whoosh of public palaver about the Bravo network show involving five homosexual men -- the Fab 5 -- who have busied themselves renovating, for a fee and in public view, the clothes, food, hair, skin and comportment of hapless heterosexual males.</p>

This morning I decided to let BRAVO have an earful. Here is my email:"As a DirecTV subscriber, I am notifying you I am permanently blocking BRAVO from my menu on my DSS receiver.Your push for homosexual-'friendly' programming demonstrates your pandering to an audience that exhibits behavior that is not only detrimental to their own health, but the health and safety of families everywhere. I refuse to risk allowing my children to see promo material on your channel, so I find it necessary to block BRAVO and will encourage others to do so. Your advertisers will no longer reach me or...

SCOTUS sided with the perverts.
