California to Outlaw Book Bans

AB 1078, passed the Assembly in May by a 61-17 margin, and the Senate last week by a 31-9 margin. Under the bill, sponsored by Assemblyman Corey Jackson (D-Moreno), school boards will be financially penalized if they vote to ban books or educational materials related to Black, Latino, Asian, Native American, and LGBTQ topics — provided those topics are part of the school’s approved curriculum, reports Los Angeles-based CW affiliate KTLA.The bill was sparked by a controversy in the Temecula Valley Unified School District, in which the board’s conservative members rejected an elementary school social studies curriculum over supplemental materials that mentioned Harvey Milk as the state’s first openly gay elected official, with the board president dubbing the former San Francisco Supervisor a “pedophile.”State officials blasted the board and threatened legal actions and fines, prompting the board to backtrack and adopt the approved state curriculum.

Gay Bob doll came out of the closet in 1977

While many are questioning the sexual identity of Ken in the new “Barbie” movie, there’s one studly disco-era male doll whose sexual identity has never been in doubt, a very gay male doll name Gay Bob. The Gay Bob doll came out of his closet in 1977 much to the displeasure of the right-wing culture warriors of the time, not just because Bob was out and proud but also because he came with a penis.

California School Board Erases Harvey Milk from Curriculum

Last month, the board of the Temecula Valley Unified School District voted to block a social studies textbook whose supplemental resources mention gay civil rights activist and politician Harvey Milk as a historical figure of note, with the president of the conservative-leaning board calling the former San Francisco Supervisor a “pedophile.”The textbook, titled Social Studies Alive, was recommended to be approved for students in first through fifth grades.

Ukraine Needs a Lot of Things, but Sean Penn’s Drama Isn’t One of Them (Column)

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticIn a career that stretches back 40 years, Sean Penn has had many great roles, from Jeff Spicoli to Harvey Milk, from the surly teen sociopath of “Bad Boys” to the soulful death-row sociopath of “Dead Man Walking.” Yet there’s a role Penn is now playing that he has embraced with fierce commitment and skill, but it still doesn’t look very good on him. That’s the role of The American Civilian Who Cares About the War in Ukraine More Than You Do.You’ve seen him play the role at press conferences and in interviews with cable-TV news hosts.

Sean Penn can be seen looking truly unrecognizable in his next role, playing Richard Nixon's attorney general John Mitchell in the upcomingStarz seriesGaslit.The 61-year-old actor - who recently complained that American men have become 'feminized' - appears to have spent hours in the make-up chair to transform into the famed political character.Interestingly, Penn is around the same age as John Mitchell was when he worked for Nixon, who was in his early sixties around the time the drama is set.With the help of prosthetics, the Oscar-winner looks strikingly different as Mitchell in the drama surrounding the Watergate scandal. Sean as John:Roberts plays Margaret Mitchell, the wife of Richard Nixon's attorney general John Mitchell (Sean Penn), who was the first person to, 'publicly sound the alarm on Nixon's involvement' in the Watergate scandalNo stranger to changing his screen appearance, Penn last donned a prosthetic nose when he transformed into the Brooklyn-born mafia boss Mickey Cohen in the crime drama Gangster Squad in 2012.
