  • Chris Crocker has a message for you think that porn stars lack Self Worth

    Chris Crocker has a message for you think that porn stars lack Self Worth

    Internet star Chris Crocker has you in his sights if you think that porn stars are less than, or lack self worth.

    Chris Crocker took to social media to call out anybody who thinks that he lacks self worth because he does porn. The star, who recently revealed that he has nearly 4000 subscribers on OnlyFans, took a moment to reflect on the job that porn stars actually do for society.

    https://twitter.com/ChrisCrocker/status/1094454468333178880

    He added, “I want to know good & damn well what kind of worth your boyfriend or husband has when he’s watching it”, before pointing out that all men watch porn.

    https://twitter.com/ChrisCrocker/status/1094459373458468864

    He then proceeded to record a video, which he titled, “You are not better than porn stars”,  explaining his thoughts further saying, “So many of you wanna say that porn stars and myself, that we really don’t have “true self esteem beause we do porn.

    “I wanna know what makes you better than the bitch on the other side of the screen. Because even if you don’t personally watch porn I know your man does.

    “Single men watch it, married men watch it, all men do. So because a bitch is on the other side of the screen doing a job you probably don’t wanna do, which is get him off – when you’re sick, your stomach hurts, you’re on your period, you got diarrhoea.

    “If anything you should be thankful to the porn stars because we keep y’all from having to suck that dick when you don’t feel like it. Honey”.

    Before adding, “Bitch get that bible thumping, moralistic sh*t the f**k out of here…It’s 2019, get to flicking that bean bitch…”

    Respect

    Fans were quick to thank Chris for his rant, with one writing, “THIS. THANK YOU. Also, thank you so much for using your platform to stick up for yourself and the rest of us. We really appreciate you from the bottom of our hearts. Have since 2007”.

    Another added, “Especially keeps them from cheating or going to do their secrets kinks someplace else”

    One fan responded, “Also, lots of us queers ladies watch it. Porn performers are fantastic & I wish they (and sex workers in general) got the respect they deserve.”

    The video has been watched in excess of 112,000 times and liked over 1,600 times by his fanbase.

  • Matt Lucas: “Michael Jackson can rot”

    The Little Britain star has slammed Michael Jackson, saying he “can rot” after watching the brand new documentary film, Leaving Neverland.

    Matt Lucas has slammed Michael Jackson saying that he “can rot” after watching the damning documentary series, Leaving Neverland, which is due to transmit on Channel 4 at some point in the near future. The comedian said that the film was “a very tough watch” but added that the testimonies from Wade Robson and James Safechuck were “brave” and “vital”.

    The four-hour film, which will be shown in two, two hour programmes, has already proved controversial with fans of the late Michael Jackson and his family. It is due to broadcast on Channel 4 in the near future. The decision to broadcast the series has proved problematic for the channel after being deluged with messages of disapproval from users on Twitter.

    In the film, both Wade Robson and James Safechuck allege that Michael Jackson began a long-running relationship with them. The Jackson Estate released a statement denoucing the film as”yet another lurid production in an outrageous and pathetic attempt to exploit and cash in on Michael Jackson.”

    Speaking ahead of the documentary, filmmaker Dan Reed said in a statement, “If there’s anything we’ve learned during this time in our history, it’s that sexual abuse is complicated, and survivors’ voices need to be listened to.

    “It took great courage for these two men to tell their stories and I have no question about their validity.

  • You won’t believe how many people now support gay love in the UK

    You won’t believe how many people now support gay love in the UK

    In the last 30 years the public’s support of same-sex loving has rocketed, new stats today show that support for gay, lesbian and bisexual relationships are at their highest.

    Wavebreak-Media-Ltd-bigstock

    Nearly 70 percent of people in the UK now say that they support same-sex relationships compared with just 11 percent back in 1987. The figures are also a stark improvement on 2012’s figures of under 50 percent (47%).

    According to figures released, 68% of people thought that relationships between two people of the same sex were ‘not at all wrong’.

    The youngest generation was the most welcoming – 80% of people age 18-24 thought there was nothing wrong with same sex-relations, compared to 29% of those age 75 and older.

    Minister for Equalities, Baroness Susan Williams, said: “On Valentine’s Day everyone should be able to love who they love, and be free to show that love to the world.

    “I am encouraged to see that people are changing their attitudes to be more accepting and more tolerant, but as government we still have work to do to make sure our society is truly fair, and truly free.

    “That’s why we are working with charities, schools, GPs, and across government to make sure our Action Plan can bring about real, lasting change for LGBT people in the UK.”

    What has the LGBT action plan promised?

    The Government Equalities Office’s LGBT Action Plan, which was launched last July to make the lives of LGBT people better, includes a promise to test out innovative ways of tackling deep-seated prejudice in communities across the country.

    As part of the Plan, 12 UK organisations who work to improve the lives of LGBT+ people have been awarded a total of £2.6 million government funding. The cash will support LGBT people in education, healthcare and the community.

    Barnardo’s, Diversity Role Models, EqualiTeach, the National Children’s Bureau, Stonewall, and the Diana Award will split £1 million between them to continue their work in protecting children from anti-LGBT+ bullying. In addition, Advonet, the LGBT Foundation, London Friend, Mind in the City, Hackney and Waltham Forest, and the Royal College of General Practitioners have received £1 million to improve the lives of LGBT+ people in health and social care.

    Rise in Homophobic Crime at odds with the survey

    However, in 2018, crime figures showed that homophobic and transphobic hate crime was on the rise. In October we revealed, that twelve percent (11,638 crimes) of recorded hate crimes in England and Wales were directed at gay and bisexual people which was a 17 percent increase over the previous year. While, two percent of recorded hate crime (1651 crimes) were those against transgender people – up a staggering 32 percent.

    Overall recorded hate crimes were up, with nearly 100,000 crimes reported which was double the amount in just five years. The majority of hate crime (75%, 71,251 crimes) were racially motivated. Religious-based hate crime accounted for 9 percent (8336 crimes) of recorded crimes.

    Without a doubt, Sam Smith looked great when he first came on to the scene back in 2013 and now in 2019, but he’s revealed that he’s not always been happy with his body image. In an emotional Instagram post, the singer revealed that in the past he’s “starved” himself for weeks before photoshoots – even if he was wearing just a t-shirt – only to usually take the picture down because he felt so unhappy with his image.

    However, he’s now taking a stand and has uploaded a topless picture of himself standing on an idyllic beach as the sun sets, looking confident and proud.

    But now the star has uploaded a topless picture saying that he was “fighting the f**k back” and “reclaiming” his body. He wrote, “Yesterday I decided to fight the fuck back. Reclaim my body and stop trying to change this chest and these hips and these curves that my mum and dad made and love so unconditionally”.

    He then revealed how much courage it took him to take the topless picture revealing that he had received so much “body trauma” as a kid.

    He then thanked the photographer, Ryan Pfluger who took the image, saying, “thank you for helping me celebrate my body AS IT IS @ryanpfluger I have never felt safer than I did with you. I’ll always be at war with this bloody mirror but this shoot and this day was a step in the right fucking direction”
