Another day, another racist homophobe caught on tape. This time it’s a construction worker from Idaho yelling at a group of a group of high schoolers eating ice cream. 52-year-old Richard Sovenski was arrested after verbally assaulting a group of teenagers outside of a fast food restaurant, calling the youths “f*cking little f*ggot,” “f*cking half-breeds” and “f*cking n*gger wannabes.” The incident happened earlier this month in the parking lot of a McDonald’s in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho and was caught on video....

An Oklahoma gay man has been sentenced to life behind bars without parole over a vile racist murder. Stanley Vernon Majors, 63, had been found guilty of first-degree murder, malicious intimidation and harassment earlier this month over the killing of his neighbour Khalid Jabara, 37. The killing took place in 2016, with Majors using his husband’s legally-bought gun to open fire on Mr Jabara as he left his Tulsa home to collect mail. Majors’ attorneys, who had sought an insanity plea, told...

What did you do during this past Martin Luther King, Jr. Day? Did you have a Sunday-Funday Part Two? Did you get mad at your WAZE app for not redirecting you around that parade on the way to your destination? Did you use the time off from work to catch up on some shopping, sleeping, gym-time, cleaning? For five days, I had friends visiting me in sunny Florida for the long holiday weekend. On Monday, we did some shopping, eating,...

“Size generally matters in the gay meat market,” author Jeremy Helligar writes in a new op-ed at Honey9, “regardless of racial considerations, but the curiosity and expectations so often attached to dark meat raises the ick factor to a level of grotesque.” Helligar is the author of the humorous travelogue Is It True What They Say About Black Men?, which examines how gay black men are viewed, and often objectified, in countries all around the world. “Lately, though, I’ve noticed a shift, especially...

Producer and RuPaul‘s Drag Race judge Lucian Piane is once again antagonizing the masses with his latest series of Tweets, and this time he’s decided to give unyielding racism a whirl. “If black people stopped being so ashamed of themselves,” he wrote on Sunday morning, “we could call them n****rs and they would laugh.” He later goes on to insult Jews, and calls RuPaul “the wisest n****r I know!”   https://twitter.com/RevoLucian/status/802691888071327744?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/RevoLucian/status/802909903257903104?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/RevoLucian/status/802692261716758528?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw As you can imagine, Twitter had plenty to say about Piane’s latest tirade:  https://twitter.com/lynevenalu/status/803011405561663488?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/TATIANNANOW/status/802935667214823424?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/RevoLucian/status/802935882101575680?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/TATIANNANOW/status/802939574037008386?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw These Tweets came one day...

“This morning I deleted a marketing email from Hinge, a high-end, Tinder-esque social dating app that only shows you hot guys if you have friends in common,” blogger Madison Moore in a new op-ed called How To Spot Sexual Racism. “Cool concept. But Hinge was the worst kind of dating app for me because I never matched with anybody. Not one person.” The issue, Moore believes, is the color of his skin. He’s black. But, he says, “as I swiped and swiped...

Last April, Noparuj Kaendi and Thorsten Mid found themselves at the center of a storm of online trolling when photos of them holding hands on the Bangkok Sky Train were posted up on Facebook. The pair didn't take the photos themselves - instead they were taken surreptitiously by another passenger - but the couple soon faced a barrage of racist and homophobic comments. We won't repeat those comments here (there's no point in fueling the fire of people who get...
