Uh oh, looks like actor Bruce Campbell made the mistake of expressing a politically incorrect joke about Bruce Jenner’s “transformation” to a “woman” named “Caitlyn.”

Unsurprisingly, the tweet was deleted quote posthaste to avoid the Army of Darkness Social Justice Warriors…
Alabama is considering a law to abolish marriage as we know it. Not the form or function, or course, but its legal nature:
“Right now, if you want to get married you go to the courthouse and the probate judge gives you a marriage license.
“…
“‘[SB377] does away with that and requires parties to enter into a contract and file it at the courthouse, as I understand it.'”

“Equality” commissions have quickly followed the tracks of their Canadian cousins and become kangaroo courts that serve as judge, jury, and executioner in their quest to stomp out thought-crime against those who do not praise homosexuality or same-sex marriage.
Evidence has now come to light that rather that be “fair” and “impartial”, they are Social Justice crusaders out to find and punish people for lack of sufficient celebration of same-sex marriage:
“Communications between the agency, the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, and the LGBT organization, Basic Rights Oregon, raise questions about potential bias in the state’s decision to charge the Kleins with discrimination for refusing to make a cake for a same-sex wedding.
“In April, a judge for the agency recommended the Kleins be fined $135,000.
“Communiations obtained through a public records request show employees of the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries—which pursued the case against the Kleins—participating in phone calls, texting, and attending meetings with Basic Rights Oregon, the largest LGBT advocacy group in the state.”

Of note, the bakers refused to bake the cake at a time when same-sex marriage was not legal in Oregon.
Is there anything more unrealistic than a man who knows he’s a man being in a relationship with a woman who knows she’s a woman?
Apparently not:

St. George is the patron saint of England. St. George’s cross is the flag of England. One would think that a child in England, attending “St. George’s Bickley Primary School,” would be allowed, even encouraged, to play “swords and dragons” in remembrance of the story of St. George slaying the dragon.
Of course, all that would assume that the people running the school would be sane enough to not call the police when a child pretends to be St. George and wields… a ruler as a pretend sword. Not a good assumption.
“Police were called to a primary school after a nine-year-old boy was caught using a ruler as a pretend sword in a playground game of ‘knights and dragons’.
“…
“[P]olice routinely visit schools to assist with ‘early identification, support and where necessary challenge of pupils involved in or at risk of offending’, and where appropriate for ‘the safety of pupils, staff and the school site and surrounding area’.”
