Richard Grennell's confirmation was held up over his history of sexist tweets. It took almost 16 months for the Senate to confirm Richard Grenell as U.S. Ambassador to Germany.

If you’ve watched Game of Thrones, you’ll know that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with f**king your sibling in Westeros. Jaime and Cersei Lannister make a really great couple, and aside from Joffrey, their kids turned out just great. And let’s not forget the Targaryens – who always used to marry brother and sister to keep bloodlines pure. However, even in George RR Martin’s fictional world, incest is frowned upon (so much so that poor old dead Ned lost his head). Wait, what’s incest?...

"Our salad chef believes homosexuality is a sin, so he won't be creating any of our signature salads for you." Jimmy Kimmel used a tongue-in-cheek sketch to demonstrate why denying wedding cakes to same-sex couples doesn’t make sense. In a recent bit on Jimmy Kimmel Live! the 50-year-old host discussed a judge’s ruling in favor of a homophobic California baker who refused to create a wedding cake for a lesbian couple. It’s a big issue—one, as Kimmel reminded his audience, currently before...

Tony Abbott, who once claimed "the relationship between two people of the same sex cannot be a marriage," said he was "looking forward to having a new sister-in-law."
