Father turns in 10-year-old son after he allegedly threatened to 'shoot up' Florida school
A 10-year-old Florida boy’s father turned him in after he made a threat to "shoot up" a high school on Snapchat, authorities announced Friday.
The threat was made in Wakulla County, about 25 miles south of Tallahassee. While a student reported the threat, the boy's father turned him in on Thursday, according to the Wakulla County Sheriff's Office.

Food Stamps Should "Only Work On Healthy Items"
EBT, also known as food stamps or SNAP, is a government-run program that gives individuals with low incomes a small budget every month to buy groceries. And the idea that the government should control what EBT recipients are allowed to buy is a talking point often made by conservatives who would like to see the program either reduced or cut entirely. (Trump, for example, has proposed getting rid of EBT and replacing it with preset boxes of food, in which the recipient has no choice in what they get.)
Suffice to say, Keke was ratioed pretty hard on Twitter for her suggestion — generating a lot more comments than likes.

Florida’s plan for bullied LGBTQ kids? Send them to Christian schools.
This past March, Florida became the first state to create a private school voucher program just for bullied students.
The Hope Scholarship Program gives students who report being bullied $6,700 towards tuition at a private school, or $750 for transportation to another public school.
Anti-bullying activists in Florida opposed the bill, pointing out that bullying occurs in private schools at about the same rate as it does in public schools, that bullies will just pick new targets if their victims leave, and that private schools aren’t closely regulated when it comes to bullying so students will find they have few tools to remedy a situation at a private school.

WATCH: Unbelievably Petty Man Calls Cops on Dude Eating Burrito on BART Train
Pop quiz, hotshot. There’s a guy eating a burrito on a BART train in San Francisco. A sign on the opposite wall says that eating and drinking is prohibited, but he’s still chowing down on his foil-wrapped lunch. What do you do? What do you do?
For most of us, the answer is… nothing. At most, we might roll our eyes in his general direction, start making a mental list of the burrito restaurants between the station and our eventual destinations, or even type and eventually delete a not particularly good tweet about it.
But then there’s this guy, who decides to do the public transport-equivalent of a citizen’s arrest. A video posted to the r/BayArea subreddit on Sunday shows a middle-aged white man—one who’s dressed like Uncle Joey Gladstone’s laundry hamper—berating a burrito-eater before calling the police.

Gay artist on Steven Universe hounded off social media by angry fans
A gay storyboard artist for the children’s TV show Steven Universe has deleted her Twitter after being harassed by fans.
Lauren Zuke, an openly gay staffer on the show, posted a drawing of two characters Lapis and Peridot on her Tumblr.
Fans were angry Zuke was showing support for shipping the two characters, instead the more popular pairing of Peridot and Amethyst.
They accused Zuke of ‘queer-baiting’ them with a same-sex relationship on the show, according to the Daily Dot.
This in despite Steven Universe having a confirmed lesbian couple by the creators and regularly explores LGBT themes and diversity.
Steven Universe is the story of a boy that helps protect the universe with his gem powers alongside his three female sister/mother role models and superheroes Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl. The vast majority of the show’s powerful figures are female-presenting.
But it got too much for Zuke, leading her to delete her Twitter account.

Son wears ‘Gay dads’ T-shirt to annoy straight father
A photo posted to Reddit has prompted thousands of comments. ‘I complimented this guy for his shirt. He thanked me and told me he got it because it makes his dad mad’ depicts exactly what it says.
Reddit user goldenboy2191 says the guy in the ‘I ?? My Gay Dads’ T-shirt specifically wears it for when he visits his dad at work.
Responding directly to an inquiry from GSN, goldenboy2919, real name Jimmie Berguin, said, ‘From the sounds of it, him and his dad have a great relationship and pulling pranks like this are one of the ways they bond.’
Berguin says he took the photo in Champaign, Illinois. His girlfriend works at a property company that owns apartment blocks, and he was with her at the front desk of one of the properties.
The man in question was moving into the block.
At the time of writing, the photo has prompted over 1,500 comments. The majority find the T-shirt, and the reason why the guy is wearing it, amusing.
Others have questioned the humor.
‘If his dad isn’t gay, then this is cultural appropriation and it’s not ok,’ says a user called organic_crystal_meth.

Nick Cannon Doesn't Understand How to Explain Gay People to Kids
Cannon continues, breaking down how he might talk about sexuality with his own kids. “This is the world we live in so we can’t act like it doesn’t exist. I actually don’t care because if you look at the core of it, it’s called sexual preference. It’s what you prefer. It’s what those people prefer,” he says. Yikes. “So if I could tell my son, ‘That’s what they like. You don’t have to like what they like. That’s what they prefer. You like what you prefer.’ And it’s as simple as that for kids. When you can break it down so simple for children, they’re like, ‘Oh okay, well I don’t care. They got two dads. They got two moms. I got a mommy and a daddy.’” Ahhh, Mariah help him.

Remarried Catholics must avoid sex and live like 'brother and sister,' archbishop says
The head of the Roman Catholic Church in Philadelphia is closing the door opened by Pope Francis to letting civilly remarried Catholics receive Communion, saying the faithful in his archdiocese can only do so if they abstain from sex and live "as brother and sister."
Archbishop Charles Chaput, who is known for strongly emphasizing strict adherence to Catholic doctrine, issued a new set of pastoral guidelines for clergy and other leaders in the archdiocese that went into effect July 1. The guidelines reflect a stance taken by Pope John Paul II.
"Undertaking to live as brother and sister is necessary for the divorced and civilly remarried to receive reconciliation in the Sacrament of Penance, which could then open the way to the Eucharist," the guidelines read.
Church teaching says that unless divorced and remarried Catholics received an annulment — a church decree that their first marriage was invalid — they are committing adultery and cannot receive the sacrament of Communion.

Boxer Who Lied About Being Tricked Into Gay Porn Readies Comeback
Remember Yusaf Mack? Probably not, so here's a refresher:
In late 2015, the Philadelphia boxer made headlines after it was discovered he filmed a gay porn scene in December 2014. When the news broke, Mack initially claimed he was tricked and drugged into filming the x-rated scene. He said he couldn't remember filming, though he appears to be cognizant in the clip.
DawgPound USA, a gay porn studio featuring men of color, released a statement, threatening legal action. Not long after that, Mack confessed he lied and said he did gay porn because of money woes.
It's been awhile since the ex-professional boxer has been in the media, but Mack gave a fascinating interview with Gawker this week and is attempting to make a gay porn comeback. You should read the whole thing, which you can do by clicking here, but below are some of the biggest takeaways.
In his 2015 statement where he confessed he was lying about the incident, Mack came out as bisexual. He later told a Fox-affiliate he was gay. Speaking to Gawker, he said he's "try-sexual," meaning he's willing to experiment.

Orlando Massacre: ‘Ashamed’ Father Reportedly Refused to Claim Gay Son’s Body
Nearly 90 percent of the people killed in the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history were of Hispanic descent.
The Puerto Rican community was hit especially hard: almost half of all Pulse casualties — 23 of them — were from the island.
But for one young latin man, the sad reality of homophobia reportedly made the circumstances surrounding his death even more appalling.
Local news blog The Orlando Latino reported that a father refused to claim his son’s body because the son was gay, and the father was ashamed. “The tale is part of the untold stories of the Latino victims of the Pulse nightclub massacre,” the blog wrote.
As heartbreaking as it sounds, the episode illustrates how the stigma of being gay is still very alive in the socially conservative island. Among Puerto Rican residents ages 35 and older, only 26 percent of the population favored the legalization of same-sex marriage, according to a 2014 Pew Research Center poll.
