By now, most people have heard or read about veteran NBA player Jason Collins revealing that he is gay. It’s only newsworthy because Collins is a current and not retired player, as John Amaechi was when he revealed that he was gay. Generally, the news was met with congratulatory remarks and vows of support. ESPN even [...]
I always have mixed feelings about teen pregnancies. I’m not going to throw my foot all the way to the back of my mouth but I will speak on a few things as carefully as I can with respect to how I feel about the topic. I believe that children should be given the best [...]
It seems as if George Zimmerman’s lawyers are pulling every trick they have out the bag to keep Zimmerman on the streets. Today Zimmerman waived his “Stand Your Ground” hearing, which not only shocked the court but allows his defense team more time to prepare.
Twitter is buzzing with comments about a child born with HIV that was “functionally cured”. This story is another scientific breakthrough in the ongoing battle with HIV.

He’s gone from beating up women (Rih-Rih), throwing bottles at soft R&B singers (Drizzy Drake), and now wrestling gay men (Frank Ocean). C-Breezy isn’t exactly boosting his bad boy image as much as he’s becoming a PR nightmare.
