    I guess Trump will not be the best president for LGBTQ! #trumprussia

    So it’s not linked above, but Lainey’s blind today is pretty obviously Affleck, right?

    • Zandy says:

      I was hoping it was Pitt, but think you are right about Affleck .

    • HappyMom says:

      Yes-I thought so too.

    • A says:

      100% Ben. Explains why he’s spending time in Utah.

    • Fiorella says:

      I thought that too! Came here to ask and voila, thanks!

    • Jeesie says:

      Extremely obviously. Kind of a weird one from Lainey, there’s nothing interesting or new there, it just reads like a more flattering re-telling of the last few weeks tabloid stories about him. Made me wonder if she got paid for it.

      • Fiorella says:

        Paid from Ben or Jen? I took her nice tone as trying to sound objective as she’s been pretty negative about them in general (not that i disagree) and she constantly posts the nanny pic

      • A says:

        Since when was it well-known that he’s been getting inpatient treatment for a month? Certainly not in the comment section here, where people were convinced he had moved into a new house in LA.

  3. me says:

    I never understood this whole bathroom debate. What are people afraid of? As a female, you can still be attacked by a biologically born female in a bathroom. What’s the safety issue here? I don’t get it.

    • Lightpurple says:

      You can also be attacked by a straight male dressed as a straight male in a ladies room. Years ago, a woman was murdered in a rest stop rest room here in MA by a guy who followed her in. These bigoted laws wouldn’t have saved her; they do absolutely nothing but put the trans community at risk.

      • me says:

        Yes you sure can. You can also be attacked by ANYONE ANYWHERE at ANYTIME. But for some reason, bathrooms are the scariest places…yeah ok. Well public washrooms are scary, but that’s mostly because they are filthy lol !

      • TQB says:

        @me, LOL – right? You’re more likely to die from touching the toilet than anything else!

      • Dee says:

        These laws are such a crock. If a pervert is willing to risk a felony sexual assault rap, then a threat of s darn misdemeanor bathroom charge won’t make a bit of difference.

        saying these inane bathroom laws will deter sexual predators is indeed illogical. These laws are about misplaced homophobia….and the idiots enacting them don’t know what the differences in LBQT etc actually are.

    • Louisa says:

      From what I understand their argument is that men who are not trans will come into the ladies room and “what about the little girls?!!” It’s so ridiculous and it has nothing to do with bathrooms and they just want to make life even harder for transgender people.

      • Saras says:

        Republicans are forgetting about the bathroom scandals from solicitations of sex in the mens room by them! Lol

      • Beth says:

        I was recently talking to friends about the “what about the little girls”?!!! thing. Who lets their little girls go in a public bathroom alone? What about the family restrooms that are in public places? Are those safer because men dress as men? I do my business and leave. No big deal. I don’t think about what the other people are. This is definitely another thing they’re doing to make life harder for transgender people

      • Lightpurple says:

        And ladies rooms have STALLS! With locking doors. We don’t just pee in the open.

      • Antonym says:

        I don’t understand why we don’t just have bathrooms with stalls, no assigned gender needed. It’s just a bathroom.

    • Who ARE These People? says:

      That’s because there’s nothing to get – it’s just trumped-up discrimination based on religious bigotry. Controlling access to public space has a long and shameful history in this country.

      • AnneC says:

        It’s a way to get base fired up. Bush/Rove did it in 2004, but it those days it was against gay marriage. Poor Repubs are running out of issues they can discriminate against.

    • LA Elle says:

      I don’t get it either. Men who identify as men can still go into women’s bathrooms even if they aren’t supposed to. To me, it’s a way to stir up false controversy and peddle some incorrect view of American “values.”

      Frankly, I’m more concerned about cell phones in bathrooms. The photos that Playmate posted last year was all of my worst nightmares about modern technology.

      Most of the women at my gym, if they do take out cell phones, make sure to keep them directed towards the row of lockers, but occasionally someone pulls out a phone and waves it around while other women are undressing or naked.

      • me says:

        I know. I hate cell phones. I mean they are good for many things, but please people need to learn to respect other people’s privacy. So sick of people whipping out their phones and recording anything they want…anywhere…and then posting it on-line without the person’s consent !

    • Susannah says:

      I never understood the whole idea, it’s confusing to me. Are they saying that the sign, “Women’s” on a door is going to keep rapists out? As if a guy who wanted to violate you would somehow wait outside the door because he respected the “Women’s” sign and not rape you until you left the bathroom? It’s just so weird, I don’t get it.

      • V says:

        yes and notice that the same people who are so worried about bad guys in the ladies room are generally the same who say they are against gun regulations because criminals will still get them. Yet a “ladies ” sign is going to keep out a rapist? !

    • doofus says:

      and let’s not forget that more male GOP Congressmen have been arrested in bathrooms soliciting (or worse) than there have been any incidents regarding trans folks.

      the male GOPers are the ones you have to worry about.

    • TQB says:

      It’s also about continually reinforcing the idea that trans people are perverts who should be ostracized. The public face of it is “men masquerading as women to get the children” but come on now, as someone said above it’s not like the “Women’s” sign on the door is a deterrent to A RAPIST. No, this is all about making sure we continue cast LGBTQ folks as different, abnormal, sick, and unsafe. All they want to do is go to the f’ing bathroom, people.

    • Kitten says:

      Exactly. It’s illegal to attack anyone in a bathroom, regardless of gender and regardless of whether you are cis or not.

    • BJ says:

      I live in Houston where we have had two little boys sexually assaulted by men in library bathrooms.So I think we should not allow men in restrooms since they rape boys,girls and women in public bathrooms.
      #sarcasm

    • loveotterly says:

      Couldn’t agree more. There are also so many women saying they don’t want “men” around their little girls. If said man is a predator… aren’t you worried about your little boys also?? Gender has nothing to do with being creepy or not. Baffling.

    • Cody says:

      Children and perverts

    • Anilehcim says:

      My argument to people who complain about trans people using a bathroom is “they’ve been doing it all the while and you probably never even noticed, so what does it really matter now?” This is what I don’t get about this stupid bigotry. Gay people have been living together and having sex without altering your life in anyway, and trans people have been using men’s/women’s bathrooms this entire time without bothering anyone also. It has ended so many stupid conversations that I’ve been sucked into.

  4. Louisa says:

    Can we all just look at the pictures of the pups Pablo and Picasso !! LOVE.

  5. fee says:

    I live in Texas and I have to continually hear people complain about the Trans-bathroom law and the “safety of our children” being at stake. Turns out, they don’t like it when you tell them that their children are ALREADY sharing bathrooms with predators who are so-called “safe” heterosexual men and women. Oh, well. Truth hurts.

    • LA Elle says:

      Fee, your comment about living in Texas brought to mind a story a college classmate (who hailed from Texas) told me: She played water polo in high school, and players from other teams would stick their fingers up her private area to distract her from the ball / play. I was horrified when she told me the story, and her response was something along the lines of it was sort of understood that it’s fine for a girl to assault another girl in the name of winning a game, so long as you keep on the promise ring and marry a boy.

    I love Picasso the dog..that is all. ❤️🐶
