Louis C.K. Returns Mocking Parkland School Shooting Students & Transphobic 'Jokes'

Louis CK returns to the comedy stage (image via WikiMedia)
Just when you thought Kevin Spacey’s bizarre YouTube video was the worst re-emergence of the year, Louis C.K. shows up with a ‘hold my beer’ moment.

After multiple allegations of sexual misconduct forced him from the public eye in November 2017 - his FX network series was cancelled and the release of his feature film I Love You Daddy was axed - the comic told the world he was going to chill for bit.

“These stories are true,” he wrote in his apology. “When you have power over another person, asking them to look at your dick isn’t a question. It’s a predicament for them. The power I had over these women is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly.”

‘I have spent my long and lucky career talking and saying anything I want,” Louis C.K. said at the time. “I will now step back and take a long time to listen.”

Well, he’s not listening any longer.

In a new comedy set (which leaked this weekend), the 51-year-old came out swinging at a whole host of targets.

Complaining about young people today, he riffed on folks who use gender neutral pronouns.

“They’re like royalty!” he said. “They tell you what to call them. ‘You should address me as they/them, because I identify as gender-neutral.’ Oh, Ok. You should address me as ‘there’ because I identify as a location. And the location is your mother’s cunt.”

He also trained his ire on the survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida where seventeen teens and adults were killed on February 14.

“They testify in front of Congress, these kids? What are they doing?,” says the comic in the leaked video.

“You’re young, you should be crazy, you should be unhinged, not in a suit… you’re not interesting. Because you went to a high school where kids got shot? Why does that mean I have to listen to you? You didn’t got shot, you pushed some fat kid in the way, and now I’ve gotta listen to you talking?”



Listening to the audio, it’s hard to tell which is worse: Louis C.K. doing transphobic jokes and mocking school shooting survivors or the people laughing uproariously at the routine.

The Twitterverse wasn’t having it:











There were a few fans who tried to defend Louis C.K. saying this is who he’s always been:



But this Twitter user summed it up best perhaps: “I actually don’t need to hear audio of Louis CK making fun of the Parkland survivors and trans people. It’s about to be a new year. I think I’ll leave Louis CK behind in 2018 and that’s where he can stay forever.”



What do you think, readers?

Is this just a comedy set? Or should Louis C.K. go back to chilling?

Transphobic Alex Jones: "Everybody Has Had Porn Pop-Up On Their Phones Hundreds Of Times"

Alex Jones
After transphobic conspiracy nutjob Alex Jones was caught with transgender porn on his phone during an episode of his InfoWars last week, Jones took a moment last night to deny the allegation.

It's an age-old story, don't you know?

Every transphobic bigot "has had porn pop-up on their phones hundreds of times," right?

From The Wrap:

“I saw a couple of news articles about that, it’s ridiculous. I was like looking up some reporter we’re trying to hire today and punched in some number and porn popped up on my phone. Everybody has had porn pop-up on their phone hundreds of times,” Jones explained to a caller on Tuesday.

“I probably had porn menus pop up 500 times on my phone,” he added. “There’s two types of people: People who look at porn and people who lie about it. But I wasn’t looking at porn on my phone. I don’t take phones on air that I look at porn on.”

In addition to asserting the Sandy Hook gun massacre was staged, Jones has been an virulently anti-trans activist for year claiming the transgender movement will bring down society, and telling his audience that accepting trans kids is an attempt to 'sexualize' them.

Jones has recently been banned from practically all major social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Spotify

Transphobic Lesbians Disrupt London Pride Parade

(image via Twitter)

This is just terrible. Not how our community should be acting.

According to Gay Star News, a group of transphobic lesbians commandeered the lead spot for the Pride Parade in London today, and handed out flyers protesting transgender folks.

A group of lesbian activists blocked the start of the Pride in London march today (7 July) in protest against transgender women. A group of eight women stormed the parade route without accreditation. Then five of them laid down on the road in front of the parade and draped a banner over them.

The banner read: ‘Transactivism erases lesbians’. They then blocked the parade route for about 10 minutes. One of the activists shouted out: ‘A man who says he’s a lesbian is a rapist.’

The group also had a banner that said ‘Lesbian = female homosexual’, as well as flyers with the organization ‘Get the L out’ as the headline.

PinkNews reports that at the end of the parade route, a confrontation erupted between the women and other LGBT attendees, angry that Pride had been led by a group seeking to exclude trans people.

One of the people involved in the confrontation told PinkNews, “They hate trans people, they hate sex workers … they are just as bad as bigots saying gay people go to hell. It’s disgusting, this is a problem with what Pride has become."

The organizer of the parade, Pride In London, issued this statement:

"Every year, Pride is attended by hundreds of thousands of people who demonstrate that Pride still matters. Given the hot weather and in the interest of the safety for everyone attending today's event, the parade group was allowed to move ahead.

"We do not condone their approach and message and hope the actions of a very small number people does not overshadow the messages of the 30,000 people marching today."

Laverne Cox Schools Lil Duval After Saying He'd Kill A Trans Woman If They Slept With Him

Lil Duvall

On Friday’s episode of Breakfast Club, a radio show that loves to bill itself as “The World's Most Dangerous Morning Show," the hosts egged on a transphobic rant from guest and minor comedian, Lil Duval.

Host DJ Envy asked the comic what would be his reaction if he found out he'd slept with a trans woman. His response? “This might sound messed up and I don’t care: she’s dying.”

One of the hosts pressed Duval saying you can’t say you’ll kill trans women. But, Duval deflected: “I didn’t say I was gonna kill transgenders. I said if one did that to me, and they didn’t tell me, I’ma be so mad I’d probably kill them.”

Eventually, Duval's defense to his indefensible comments was, “I can say what I want and do what I want, and people understand where I’m coming from. They understand I’m not coming from a place of malice. They know I’m just speaking my mind.”





According to reports, at least 15 transgender people have been murdered in 2017. So far.

Last year, there were 22 violent deaths recorded by the Human Rights Campaign.

Trans actress and activist Laverne Cox responded to the ignorance with a lengthy Twitter message:

“After taking several deep breaths I just got teary thinking about all my sisters experiencing violence, beaten, raped, murdered and some … I think what’s also so upsetting for me is @janetmock was on that show last week with so much love brilliance and trans 101 education and A week later this happens. Some folks think it's ok to joke about wanting to kill us. We have free speech but that speech has consequences and trans folks are Experiencing the negative consequences with our lives. It hurts my spirit cause this isn’t funny. Our lives matter. Trans murder isn’t a joke. I think the issue is when this kind of violence is expressed publicly and goes unchallenged. This is why I am speaking up to challenge It.”















Janet Mock also chimed in:



At the end of the day, though, Lil Duvall remained non-plussed about the whole incident:

Big Brother 19 Contestant Cody Nickson: "I Could Give A Sh*t" About Fu*king Trannies

Cody Nickson

Construction sales rep and Marine veteran houseguest Cody Nickson, currently competing on CBS' “Big Brother 19,” has offended some fans of the show with transphobic comments.

Nickson was discussing tucking, for some reason, with houseguest, Jessica Graf.

Nickson: “How does one tape his di*k down?”

Graf: “I don’t know. Isn’t that at thing?”

Nickson: “For trannies, I guess.”

Graf immediately covered his mouth, but Nickson continued: “Do you really think I could give a sh*t that like .0000001 percent of the population is fu*k*ng trannies. I don’t give a fu*k. I promise you they’re not expecting me to really fu*king sympathize with their psychological cause.”

Graf broached the subject with Nickson again later while talking with other houseguests.

Graf: “What you said this morning wasn’t that great either.”

Nickson: “What? Tranny? I don’t give a sh*t. Do you really think they’re going to come at a Marine Crops infantryman for fu*king saying the word tranny?”

In the past, contestants have, in fact, lost jobs once they leave the Big Brother house for offensive or controversial statements made on the reality game show.

Season 17 contestant, and first transgender competitor on the show, Audrey Middleton, warned that Nickson should be prepared to be unemployed after BB due to his transphobic remarks.



You can watch the two moments below.
