BASTROP, TXAfter news broke that the companys AI tool had shared several antisemitic posts to X, Elon Musk announced Wednesday that hed scrubbed the social media platform of the Jewish users who made Grok mad. We are aware of several inappropriate posts made by our xAI chatbot, and we are working to remove the Jews who set it off, said X spokesperson Emma Payne, adding that Musk and his team were working around the clock to purge several million users so that Grok never again had to encounter and spew hate speech at a religious minority. We want to be very clear. We here at X will not tolerate any user who upsets our large language model because they are not Aryan, Christian, or of the purest of bloodline. We regret the error, and we will do everything in our power to update our code to ensure no Jew uses this social media site in the future. At press time, Musk announced that he had also preemptively purged the platform of Black users just in case Grok started to get any ideas.The post Elon Musk Scrubs X Of Jewish Users Who Made Grok Mad appeared first on The Onion.

James Lantz, a self-described angry gay grandpa, pleaded guilty to criminal mischief in court on Tuesday for gluing himself to a rail inside the Pennsylvania state legislature last year to get a transphobic Republican senators attention.Lantz was ordered to pay $16,575 for damage to the state Capitol and a $200 fine to the court as part of a plea deal, Penn Live reports. Related A county faced a trans suicide crisis. A gay man took drastic measures to make GOP leaders listen. The activist glued himself to the state senate while wearing a sweatshirt that read ASK WHY 5 DIED. Lantz, a 64-year-old documentary filmmaker from Vermont, traveled to Harrisburg in April 2024 to confront state Sen. Ryan Aument (R), whose district in Lancaster County saw five suicides by trans youth over 18 months as Aument promoted anti-trans legislation from his state Senate seat.

On April 29, Lantz was charged with two felonies related to institutional vandalism and criminal mischief, as well as a misdemeanor offense for obstructing an official proceeding. As part of the plea deal, the felonies were reduced to misdemeanor charges. In addition to the restitution and court fine, Lantz will serve a year on probation. Aument licensed and encouraged bigotry, hate and bullying against a very small group of transgender and non-binary kids, Lantz said in court. I just wanted to be heard peacefully. I felt that if the cycle could be interrupted even by one voice, one story we might save a life here, or nationally, he told Dauphin County Judge William Tully. Time, I believed, was of the essence. I knew I had to act. I also knew my time was limited. I have stage 4 cancer.I remember what I endured as a closeted teen in the 1970s, Lantz said. I dont want to see another LGBTQ kid die by suicide. Our kids are suffering physically, mentally and emotionally. And I did what I felt I had to do. Lantz told the court he reached out on six occasions to meet with Sen. Aument, but never received a response. Hes documented the rise of anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and legislation on his website Angry Gay Grandpa.Prosecutors took issue with Lantzs description of his protest as peaceful.Our office disagrees that damaging property is a form of peaceful protest, prosecutor Alisa Davidson told PennLive on Wednesday.

If lesbian reality TV shows are going to do one thing, it's entertain. The chaos, the drama, the romance and, let's be honest, the spiciness of sapphic content just cannot be surpassed.It's why shows like The Ultimatum: Queer Love and (back in the day) A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila (even if that one aged like milk) had such a pop culture impact. And yet, there aren't enough of them, if you ask us.But there are a few, and they are all worth a binge. Some of these may be a rewatch, while others, particularly those from across the globe, may have slid under your radar. But if youre craving some more lesbian and sapphic reality dating competition, weve got you covered. Here are 11 must-see shows and where you can watch them right now. I Kissed a GirlI Kissed a Girl is the UKs first-ever dating reality show that focuses solely on WLW, and what a way to kick things off. The show, which is hosted by Dannii Minogue, was a spin-off of the popular gay version, I Kissed a Boy. The way it worked is that a group of lesbians and women all stay in an Italian country home together where theyre introduced with a kiss and expected to form romantic connections. Naturally, lesbian chaos ensues.Where to watch: HuluLove Trip: ParisIf Love Trip: Paris flew under your radar, we don't blame you; it was marketed like the straightest thing ever, and yet, the queerness was everywhere. The show focuses on four women heading to the City of Love to find, well, love with the residents there. But heres the tea: only one of them is straight, and theres even trans representation. Mon Dieu!Where to watch: Prime Video12 Dates of Christmas (season 2)We love lesbian drama as much as the next gal, but sometimes you want something a little sweeter, and that's where 12 Days of Christmas comes in, specifically its second season. Set in the winter with the holiday spirit all around, three singles, one gay, one straight, and one sapphic enter the house in search of their perfect partner. Its all very Hallmark holiday movie coded, not that were complaining. Where to watch: Apple TVThe Bi LifeRuPauls Drag Race favorite and finalist Courtney Act got into the hosting gig with this series that focuses on a group of bisexual singles living together and dating one another. This one differs in that the emphasis is more about dating and building camaraderie rather than avoiding elimination. But its a unique and rare depiction of bisexuality that were always happy to have more of on our screensWhere to watch: Hayu Are You The One? (season 8)Are You The Ones queer season is absolutely legendary and with good reason. Its chaotic and funny and romantic and oh-so-steamy. When they went back to the straight formula the following season, it was for one reason only: they couldn't handle us! The show, for the uninitiated, sees a group of singles entering a house having already been secretly matched by matchmakers. Their job is to date around and try to figure out who their person is, and if everyone successfully solves the puzzle, they all win a cash prize. This series has all the upheaval, heartache, and makeouts of the other shows, with the added bonus of puzzle solving. Where to watch: HuluThe Ultimatum: Queer LoveChances are youve heard your friends talking about this series, which sees sapphic couples where one partner wants to be married, and the other is not ready embarking on an experiment that sees them splitting up and repartnering with other castmates for a trial marriage before recoupling and deciding if they want to get engaged or split up for good. As you can imagine, this creates opportunities for both major breakthroughs and a major breakup. It's truly compelling TV.Where to watch: Netflix Love ALLwaysLove ALLways is in the same vein as the A Shot at Love series, in that it centers around pansexual TikToker Lexi Paloma looking for love with the help of two relationship gurus, Spicy Mari and Anthony Recenello, and a house full of suitors of various genders. Meanwhile, the contestants also, ahem, mix and mingle.Where to watch: Prime VideoTo Get HerAnother groundbreaking show, To Get Her is South Koreas first-ever lesbian dating reality series. In it, seven single queer women move in together in order to get to know one another, date, and form romantic connections. There has been some controversy surrounding the show, including the eviction of the cast, but it's still a chapter in global sapphic representation worth checking out. Where to watch: Daily MotionComing Out for LoveFilmmaker Nicole Conn (Claire of the Moon, A Perfect Ending) created this series thats hosted by out actress and model Jessica Clark and sees 16 women moving into a house in Palm Springs to vie for the heart of Amber Whittington (aka Ambers Closet). A classic set up and a ton of fun. Where to watch: Comingoutforlove.comPrincess CharmingPrincess Charming is another global entry on the list, this time from Germany. This series focuses on one queer woman, aka the princess, who is looking for love and the cast who are vying for her affection. It's your standard Bachelorette-style show, but sapphic. Tonally, this leans less into the chaos and more into offering audiences an authentic look at WLW. Where to Watch: RTL+Love on the Spectrum U.S.Not only is this show the most wholesome and sweet series on this list, but it might be the most wholesome and sweet show to have existed, period. Unlike the others weve chosen, it isnt a competition, but rather a docu series which follows adults on the autism spectrum dating and seeking out love, some for the first time ever. Among them are some queer folks navigating romance and identity. This series will absolutely capture your heart and have you cheering for these brave and generous souls who opened up their lives and journeys to allow us to witness them and cheer them on. We can have nice things sometimes!Where to watch: Netflix

Seth Gruber, host of The Seth Gruber Show, recently wrote that the United States should overturn the Supreme Court case that legalized marriage equality because it allows pedophiles to buy sperm & egg in order to create newborns that they can sexually abuse.Gay marriage is fundamentally anti-human. Its not procreative, Gruber wrote to his over 25,000 followers in a July 7 post on X, the social media site owned by billionaire neo-Nazi transphobe Elon Musk. Related Elon Musk is making millions from verified neo-Nazi X accounts and hes helping boost their hateful messages as well.

Never Miss a Beat Subscribe to our newsletter to stay ahead of the latest LGBTQ+ political news and insights. Subscribe to our Newsletter today For the pedos, gay marriage was a HUGE gift because it redefined parenthood from 2 opposite sex couples who created the child to literally anyone, so now pedos can buy sperm & egg, rent a womb, and go home with a baby that they intend to sexually abuse, he claimed. Gay marriage is fundamentally anti-human. Its not procreative.For lesbians, it dehumanizes men by treating them as mere sperm banks.For gay dudes, it dehumanizes women by treating them as walking rent-a-wombs. BTW, black & brown wombs are WAY cheaper than white wombs.For Seth Gruber (@sgruber91) July 8, 2025Gruber is completely wrong in his assertion. The Supreme Courts 2015 legalization of same-sex marriage didnt redefine parenthood it merely said that two consenting adults of the same sex can wed because there is no compelling government interest in preventing them from doing so. Furthermore, before 2015, individuals of any sex could try and conceive children through in sperm and egg donors, in vitro fertilization, or surrogates.Also, bigots like Gruber tried to (and still do) oppose same-sex marriage by claiming that it would lead to increases in child sexual assault. A major evangelical figure also predicted that marriage equality would cause fathers to marry their daughters. Theres no evidence to suggest that either incest or pedophilia increased as a result of legalized same-sex marriage.Slippery slope arguments like Grubers and Dobsons only work in anti-gay echo chambers populated by people who dont understand why people fought for same-sex marriage. There exists a large group of people who want to marry people of the same sex for pretty much the same reasons that people want to marry someone of the opposite sex to have children, to support their spouses, to have some stability and support for their conjugal relationships. There is no similar population of people who want the same thing in order to have sex with kids, whether their own or someone elses.In his other posts, Gruber claims that same-sex marriage is Satanic, that LGBTQ+-inclusive childrens books are pornographic, and calls himself a proud Christian Nationalist. Rhetoric like his encourages violence against LGBTQ+ people and their allies, many of whom seek to protect children from genuine harm.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.

Singer Ethel Cain posted an Instagram Story Wednesday apologizing for resurfaced racist social media posts she made at age 19. The singer, whose real name is Hayden Anhednia, had been confronted by Reddit users who unearthed and reposted these controversial posts from Tumblr and other platforms.Among them were screenshots from a Q&A platform called Curious Cat, where Cain admits to using the n-word and states build that wall" in response to a post mocking Latinx people. There were also screenshots of Cain wearing a t-shirt that said legalize incest, along with instances of the singer making fat-shaming and rape jokes. The performer also said that people who use they pronouns are attention seekers.These screenshots of her old posts were shared to an X account called @herweirdsilas, which seems to be dedicated to exposing the 27-year-old singer, just as she is gearing up to release her sophomore album, Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You, which comes out in August. Cain's debut album, Preacher's Daughter, was released in 2022 to critical acclaim, and she has since broken Billboard records as a transgender singer.In her July 9 statement, Cain said she made these remarks during a point in her life that she looks back on shamefully. I was 19 and I was entirely aware of what I was saying and that was why I said it, the statement reads. All I can say is that I am truly sorry from the bottom of my heart, to anyone who read it then and to anyone reading it now. Any way you feel about me moving forward is valid."To everyone partaking in this expecting me to address my racist statements in the past, you are completely valid. This statement cannot be everything, but I hope it is a start," she added.Cain also provided some context for her frame of mind at the time. "I spent my later high-school years being extremely progressive and 'SJW' as they called it at the time, as a way to reject the indoctrination of my environment and rebel against the prejudice, hatred, and ignorance of the culture I grew up in," she wrote. She added that she "fell into a subculture online that prioritized garnering attention at all costs."The 27-year-old went to say that she feels the resurfacing of these posts are part of a malicious attack. All of these things resurfacing are not the actions of a well-meaning individual concerned by something they discovered easily and casually on the internet, she wrote. These are screenshots obtained through extensive digging, hacking, and cooperative effort amongst a group of individuals who do not care who else is hurt by witnessing this media as long as I am ultimately hurt the worst in the end.Cain went on to address each allegation, among them that she was promoting "child pornography" from artwork she made at age 19, which she says she created as a response to sexual assault."At the time of that drawing, I had just been raped by a man twice my age weeks before. The way I processed this was the opposite way I thought rape victims were supposed to behave, as I leaned into sadomasochism and became fixated on the event and thought that somehow sexualizing it in a way I could control or desire would make it more bearable, as though I wanted it," she wrote.The "Crush" singer ends the statement saying, I will not allow this smear campaign to silence me in the same way I have not allowed any of their previous attempts to silence me. Again, in this day and age, just as I must be diligent with my voice and my actions, you share the same responsibility.Read the full response below.
