David Eason: I"m Proud to Be a Straight, White Redneck!
This not exactly just in:
David Eason is not a fan of the LGBT community.
This may be the least shocking sentence ever written on The Hollywood Gossip, considering Eason’s penchant for slamming homosexuals and transgenders pretty much any chance he gets.
Back in February, for example, he scoffed at the notion that anyone within the aforementioned community is “normal” and said their parents ought to teach them “better morals.”
He also said he would tell his kids to avoid gay people because if you “lay down with dogs you get up with fleas.”
The guy is a real charmer.
You’ve got yourself quite a catch there, Jenelle Evans.
About three days after Eason made the above remarks, he was finally fired by MTV.
But this development did not shut David up. It didn’t make him see any light or arrive at any life-altering realizations.
And it certainly didn’t make him any more tolerant.
Eason has continued to attack pretty much anyone different than he is, with the latest case in point coming in the form of an offensive meme.
It features a bride and a groom and the words: Straight Pride. It’s natural, it’s worked for thousands of years and you can make babies.
This is, of course, an extremely dumb and pointless message.
Go ahead and be proud of your sexual orientation, straight people. Go ahead and make babies. No one is stopping you and no one is judging you for it.
Along with the image and its caption, Eason wrote:
For the people who get offended when you call them what they identify themselves as… I’m also proud to be a white man, a southerner and a redneck! #pride.
Ah, okay.
So THIS is Eason’s argument, huh?
He’s simply aghast over why he’s received flak, and even been fired from a job, simply because he calls people “whay they identify themselves as?”
Is that what he was doing in this rant earlier this year?
Thankfully, many of Eason’s own followers called him out for his idiocy in response to this meme.
“This is so ignorant David. You have the right to say what you want but this is not necessary you know what your [sic] doing by posting crap like this,” one commenter calmly wrote.
Another replied:
“Freedom of speech is one thing, spreading and inciting hatred is another.”
Well, just to be clear:
Eason is perfectly allowed to express his opinions. No one is violating his freedom of speech.
But there are consequences for expressing those opinions, not the least of which is getting fired from a high-paying job in which you bring your employer shame and criticism.
Eason’s freedom of speech would only be violated if he were imprisoned solely for his beliefs.
Here’s the ultimate irony, however:
Evans herself has basically admitted her husband is intolerant of gay people!
She said as much on the Teen Mom 2 reunion special that aired on Monday night.
“He doesn’t hate those people,” she said of the LGBT community. “He just doesn’t want his kids to grow up and be that way.”
And what if his kids came out as gay?
“He’ll still love them and adore them, but he just wouldn’t agree with their lifestyle,” Jenelle said in defense of Eason, concluding on this special:
“It’s the way he was raised. … [But] he doesn’t run around the house saying, ‘I hate gay people."”
Oh, he doesn’t?!? We take it all back then!
Why did we ever think Eason thought less of gay people?!? Our bad, guys.

Jill Duggar Teaches Kids "God"s Plan For Sex" Education, Makes Derick Proud
Jill Duggar is under fire yet again, this time for teaching her young kids sex education, and for the material she’s chosen to do so.
Despite being fired from Counting On, Jill and husband Derick Dillard have stayed in the spotlight thanks to their social media presence.
Even Jim Bob wishes they wouldn’t.
The latest controversy involving the Family Dillard echoes, albeit less drastically, some of the views that led to TLC firing them.
As you can see below, Jill shared a picture on Instagram of the cover of a book that she’s reading to her two young children.
Her sons are 3 and 1, respectively.
Reading to little kids before they can fully comprehend the material is something we all do, but the book here is “The Story of Me.”
This publication appears to be a sex-education book designed with young children in mind … and a very Duggar one at that.
“Want to teach your kids about the [birds] and the [bees] before someone else does, but you don’t know where to start?” Jill asks.
“Someone [told us] about these books (4 book set) and we love them! Learn more on our *resources page* on our website!”
Naturally, Jill is shilling for the book as some kind of promotional endeavor, but for once, that’s not where some fans have a problem.
The cover, which boasts the fact that it’s a Christian Book Award winner, proclaims that it will teach us “God’s Design for Sex.”
The book’s description: “It’s never too early to begin giving your child a practical understanding of his or her unique, beautiful body.”
Nothing too polarizing there. But …
It also explains “why God designed it (your body) to be exactly the way it is.” A thinly-veiled dig at the transgender community?
Maybe not so veiled at all.
It discusses “the specialness of being made a boy or a girl” and “why God wants each baby to have a mommy and a daddy.”
Naturally, fans used to Derick’s social media rants against gay marriage and various transgender stars weren’t too surprised.
Derick has notably gone off on TLC’s Jazz Jennings, Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent, and the cast of Lost in Transition.
With this context, it’s no surprise that the couple’s surprising sex ed endeavors reopened old wounds with fresh criticism.
Hopefully, impressionable Israel and Sam get a lot out of the “proper names” and “realistic illustrations” of their anatomy.
It’s God’s design, after all.
The wisdom of teaching kids about intimacy at such a young age is debatable in and of itself, but these are the Dillards.
When it comes to indoctrinating the next transphobic and homophobic generation, you might as well start ‘em young?

Colton Underwood: Yes, I"m a Virgin... and Proud of It!
Becca Kufrin narrowed down her list of potential husbands to four people this past Monday night on The Bachelorette.
But most viewers turned off the episode and didn’t focus on her selection of Garrett Yrigoyen, despite his history of racist and intolerant social media messages.
Instead, they focused on her selection of Colton Underwood, due to his history of… not having sex?!?
Indeed, Colton, 26, admitted during this otherwise-boring installment that he had never slipped his penis inside the vagina of a woman.
He’s not overly religious. He isn’t waiting for marriage. Colton simply told Becca that he’s waiting for “the right heart.”
Naturally, Becca listened closely to this confession and then gave Underwood a rose because, come on now. You can’t hear some guy is a virgin and then send him home.
Just think of how that would make yoy look.
Fans, meanwhile, were rather taken aback by this bit of personal news.
Didn’t Underwood date gymnast Aly Raisman? Is he claiming he really never porked her?!? That he was never curious to learn how her flexibility might pay off in bed?
Correct, Colton has written in a follow-up Instagram post.
“On tonight’s episode I talk about something I typically avoid talking about at all costs, but it was appropriate for me to bring up,” Underwood wrote on Instagram upon reflection, adding a couple days ago:
“It’s something that I don’t talk about very often and something that only a handful of people know.”
Now, of course, quite more than a mere handful know about Underwood’s virginity.
But he’s not ashamed of it (nor should he be).
“I considered it a gift and a curse for many years, but finally have come to terms about standing up for who I am and the details that make me, me,” Colton continued.
He then said that he hopes to serve as a role model to others in his situation, adding:
“Anyone who feels like they are hiding their truth out of embarrassment or fear of being judged… I HAVE BEEN THERE.”
Concluded Underwood in this heartfelt post:
You are not alone, I have covered up my truth with lies and tried to “fit in” – while I thought fitting in was what I wanted, I’ve recently learned that being different is what I need.
We all have something that we hold close to us and something that makes us unique in our own ways.
I ask for respect from everyone I meet moving forward and I’m here to call on everyone that needs that extra motivation to be “different” – HERE IT IS.
Be who you are. I love you all.
That’s a pretty great message, isn’t it?
“When the time comes, it’ll happen,” Underwood said on his date with Kufrin.
“I’m not trying to prove anything. It’s just a part of me, you know? I’m not going to have a mistake one night. I want it to be a special moment. I want it to be a gift that I give to somebody.”
So, will Becca be Colton’s first?
You can visit our section of The Bachelorette spoilers to learn whether she chooses him to be her husband and you can join us right now in commending Colton for his admission.
Way to be brave and just put yourself out there, man.

Kim Kardashian: I"m Proud of My Sex Tape!
Over 10 years since its release, we’re still talking about the Kim Kardashian sex tape.
Or, to be more accurate, over 10 years since it release Kim Kardashian and her family members are still talking about the Kim Kardashian sex tape.
On one hand, we can’t blame them.
This piece of sizzling footage – filmed by Kim and Ray J during the prime of their relationship, during a trip to Cabo – is the main reason Kim and her loved ones are famous, after all.
On the other, however, you’d think there might be a semblance of guilt or shame over the family’s empire being so dependent on video of a D-List hip hop artist bending Kim over and…
… sorry, nevermind. You get it by now.
But last night’s midseason finale of Keeping Up with the Kardashians made just the opposite clear:
Kim remains very proud of her work in that video.
On the episode in question, Kim, Kris Jenner and a few other cast members sat down for a media training session.
At one point, the topic turned to Kim’s often-viewed banging of Ray J, with the interviewer saying to Kris:
“The Hollywood Reporter has called it ‘The Kardashian Decade: how a sex tape lead to a billion dollar brand.’
“Kris, interestingly your eyes dropped when Jen got to the mention of the tape.”
“I know,” Kris replied with a smile.
The trainer then gave Jenner advice on how to react when the sex tape was brought up.
“I think try to keep that eye contact and not look like, ‘Ugh.’ Almost like that poked in the ribs a little bit,” he said.
And this is when Kardashian herself chimed in as follows:
“Don’t be ashamed!”
That’s actually a pretty funny line.
And it’s refreshing that Kim can joke about the video that clearly did launch her career, instead of pretending like she never wanted it leaked and that it’s all just so gosh darn embarrassing.
Click on the video below to watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online and relive this fun scene:
Elsewhere during the media training session, Kris was asked about Caitlyn Jenner.
She insisted that she didn’t turn a “blind eye” to her ex-husband’s desire to be a woman, only that she didn’t have the “whole truth” during their marriage.
As for things Caitlyn wrote about in her memoir?
“Well, I think just the general tone of the book [was a problem],” she replied, adding in more detail:
“Very mean-spirited. A lot of inaccuracies.
“I think somebody with a little elegance and class and somebody that’s been divorced but trying to stay on good term with the family might have written:
“‘Wow, married to her, didn’t work out, she’s a great girl, wish it could have been different."”
That’s fair.
Then again, Kris pushed her daughter to make a sex tape and then profited off said sex tape.
So we’re not sure if she’s really in a position to tell others what should or should not be made public.
