Mickey Rourke has received a formal warning on ITV’s “Celebrity Big Brother” after JoJo Siwa accused him of making “homophobic” comments about her.
According to the BBC, 72-year-old Rourke asked if 21-year-old Siwa was romantically interested in boys or girls, to which she said: “Girls. My partner is nonbinary.” He then replied, “If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore.” Siwa told Rourke: “I can guarantee I’ll still be gay and I’ll still be in a very happy relationship.”
The actor and former boxer then made a remark that he was “going to vote the lesbian out real quick,” the BBC reports. He also reportedly said “I need a f--,” referring to the house’s smoking section, but then pointed to Siwa and said: “I’m not talking to you.”

I don't condone, but that's a little funny

How do you ban law that doesn't exist?

I mean, it does, you're allowed to use Sharia Law to settle disputes if both parties agree to it. These laws ban that.

These types of laws are dumb because you're not allowed to use outside law to decide things that are illegal under US law so they aren't ways to get around the law. I don't really see a problem if people want to have their disputes handled by arbitration in Sharia or Xeer or anything else. It's mostly done for business disputes IIRC.

I actually remember a case here in Michigan where two Muslims agreed to Sharia arbitration but neither actually knew what Sharia would proscribe and it wound up back in regular court when they found out. Mattress business or something. There was a whole "SHARIA LAW COMES TO MICHIGAN" scare about it and they both wound up hating it.

FA resists calls to ban transgender  players from women's matches
Pinned Mod Comment:

I would like to remind everyone who wants to discuss this in here that trans women are women, not men or males or any other way you think you can get away with referring to us as men. If you are referring to us specifically, then say "trans women" not "men" or "biological males" or whatever else. Thanks.

I would assume that any agreement that contravenes US law would not be allowed. Therefore it doesn't exist.

As I said, these laws are intended to prevent its use even when it doesn't contravene US law.

I assume the moderator misspoke, but this exchange is perfect 

Politician: "It's a fictional show, it's not a documentary"

Moderator: "The difference and impact this documentary has made..."

Edit: Jesus they're really trying to crack down on her

"Just to clarify did you really just say that Casualty and Adolescence are similar?"
