    There is no way to quantify the value of what someone thinks art is worth. For example, I wouldn't pay $3 to go to the Opera but some other people would pay $300. She is going to have a tough time proving she was low balled due to anything other than the evaluated worth of her art to the executives at Netflix.

    I don't think the gay cable station LOGO has 20% gay themed shows. As per usual, the militant wing of the LGPTQ movement will collapse back on itself.

    You can easily evaluate it. The woman wasn't selling out shows like Schumer or Chapelle. She wanted money based on past accomplishments and that's not how business works. It's an investment they aren't going to just hand you 13 million dollars because you stomp your feet. They want a ROI

    I'm at point where I'm going to watch what I want agenda free. They are all gonna shoot themselves in the foot because eventually people are going to reject having agendas pushed down their throats. Also makes me realize how much of rich people club GLAAD is. Most of the homeless youth are LGBTQ I wonder if they're pushing to get at least 20 percent of them off the street by 2020.

    Lol @ that Little Mermaid movie

    Some people are so damn fake. They would flip if the races of the main characters were reversed but they got no problem with this one.

    Expecting anything other than fake from a world filled with fake breasts, fake butts, fake nails, fake hair, fake lips, nose jobs, heels, makeup artists, facial reconstruction, photoshop, media filters, and fake outrage is kind of preposterous.

    Gay man's pay slashed so he'd be on par with 'the other females in the office,' lawsuit claims

    He alleges he was ostracized at work and eventually fired from the New York City event-plannin

    A former employee at a high-profile event company in New York claims in a discrimination complaint filed this week that he was fired because of his sexuality after his boss told him his salary was being cut in half because he was being paid "so much more than the other females in the office."

    The ex-employee, Wesley Wernecke, says Eventique tried to alienate and degrade him after CEO Henry Liron David learned he was gay, said Wernecke's lawyer, Anthony Consiglio.

    “Wesley was personally recruited by this employer to be a senior producer, and once he learned he was gay, the employer began shutting him out of the business,” Consiglio said in an email to NBC News.


    David’s lawyer, Gena Zaiderman, denied the allegations, calling them “baseless.”

    Wernecke had just begun to work for Eventique, which stages events for high-profile clients, such as Nike, Twitter and Amazon, when David began to push him out of his role, the complaint filed Wednesday in Manhattan Supreme Court states.

    Wernecke left his previous job at an event company in Boston, where he had worked for more than three years, to join Eventique in June. A week after he was hired, Wernecke’s coworkers commented on his “girly” engagement ring. When a co-worker asked if his wife wore a similar ring, Wernecke replied that his partner, Evan, did.

    From that point on, tension developed between Wernecke and his co-workers and David that had not existed before, according to the complaint.

    In the interim months, the complaint alleges, Wernecke was ostracized and excluded from professional meetings and office social events, passed over for assignments with large commissions and subject to discriminatory remarks.

    David intentionally excluded Wernecke from his weekly practice of welcoming employees every Friday with “a fist bump and a greeting of ‘Shabbat Shalom,’” walking past Wernecke’s desk without acknowledging him, the complaint says.

    He also would exclude Wernecke from company lunches and frequent after-work drinks with “the fellas” in his office, the lawsuit states, and at one point, David gave an account Wernecke had been working on to another employee without consulting Wernecke.

    The alleged discrimination took a toll on Wernecke’s mental health, forcing him to book an appointment with a psychiatrist in August for the first time in his life, the document says, and he began taking anti-depressant and anti-anxiety medication to cope with the situation.

    “David took pains to mark Wernecke as different from the other employees through these physical demonstrations,” the complaint alleges. “Neither Wernecke's professional experience and accomplishments nor the goodwill he brought to Eventique's work earned him equality.”


    Eventually, David called Wernecke into his office to tell him his salary was being cut from the $145,000 that was initially agreed upon to $70,000.

    “I couldn't sleep at night thinking that you were being paid so much more than the other females in the office,” David told Wernecke, according to the complaint.

    Not long after, Wernecke discovered that David had lowered his salary even more, to $58,000 or 40 percent less than the starting salary he was promised when he left his former job, the lawsuit says.

    “David simply could not bear the thought that Eventique would continue to be represented by a gay man,” the complaint states, referring to Wernecke’s Oct. 4 firing.

    It was leaked.
    A college had requested (from the artists) their performance fees for a concert, which is why you see a few note "does not do colleges".

    Based on the retweet & the replies to the retweet, I'm gonna have to assume the the black dude (with all the foreign flags in his bio) in the original tweet is talking about a white dude.


    EDIT:

    Here's the full original tweet:

    Oh, okay. Now I get it. Yeah we are not allowed (mainly within their vicinity) to express OUR IR love. Don't forget the white women who do it are slammed for "fetishizing" black men.

    Some do have a fetish and what not as we pointed out in the thread I created in the Men's lockerroom. But as humans are they misinterpreted the difference with their ignorance and hidden hatred for bm/ww IR. It's always about the context.

    But some of these women are hypocrites as they refer to black men as chocolate and make other sexual references them damn selves. It's just a front for them wanting us not to be proud to be in a IR with each other because they don't like it.

    It's exhausting keeping up with their ever-changing rules and laws on BM's love lives.

    Been saying for years, from the moment BM are born, they're lectured to and told what to do, by everyone.
    Leave them the hell alone.
