Lesbian Server Caught In Discrimination Scam

Lesbian Server Caught In Discrimination Scam

Many gay rights activists live in a state of perpetual offense, finding evidence of homophobia and bigotry around every corner. Despite the fact that their lifestyle is almost universally accepted in today’s culture, many homosexuals choose to present themselves as victims.

In one recent case, a lesbian waitress in New Jersey did not merely exaggerate an incident to maximize sympathy – she invented the entire event.

After posting a photo of a credit card receipt, ostensibly completed by one of her guests, onto her Facebook page earlier this month, Dayna Morales became a local celebrity for her stance against discrimination. Instead of a tip, the receipt showed the handwritten declaration: “I’m sorry but I cannot tip because I do not agree with your lifestyle.”

She went on a media tour to detail the scenario, declaring on multiple occasions that her guest wrote the offensive remark. The only problem, it seems, is that the family accused of this deed became aware of Morales’ crusade.

A married couple, who asked to have their identity hidden, came forward with an identical receipt from the same night. The only difference was in the way it was filled out. Instead of adding a contentious note to the receipt, the family actually left an $ 18 tip on the $ 93.55 bill.

The family produced bank records that show their account was debited for the cost of the meal plus the tip. Furthermore, the left-handed wife who filled out the receipt said she could not have easily made a slash mark pictured on the hoax receipt.

The bottom line, she said, is that the couple always tips good servers, “and we would never leave a note like that.”

Her husband agreed, noting he supports gay marriage rights and did not vote for Gov. Chris Christie because of the Republicans’ stance on the issue.

Morales continues to stick by her story, and the restaurant has declined to comment. Unfortunately, a number of individuals have apparently also been duped, as Morales previously confirmed she had received money from individuals near and far to make up for her supposedly lost tip.

As with race-baiters like Al Sharpton, homosexual activists must resort to outright lies to further their cause. Instead of celebrating the fact that America is overwhelmingly acceptant of their lifestyle, fraudsters like Morales prefer to create a false narrative of persecution and intolerance.

‘Blue,’ Through Lesbian Eyes

Of the many things to note about the seven-minute lesbian sex scene in “Blue Is the Warmest Color,” a French drama about a teenage girl who becomes passionately involved with a slightly older woman, is how very long it seems to go on.

While there is little radical about lesbian sexuality on-screen these days (“The Killing of Sister George” led the way in 1968, and by 2010 “The Kids Are All Right” featured a lesbian couple who liked gay male pornography), the sex scene in “Blue” is certainly among the most graphic and physically intense.

It is brightly lit, so we see every crash of flesh against flesh, every pinch and grip. The younger Adele (played by Adèle Exarchopoulos) and Emma (Léa Seydoux) slap each other’s breasts, pull each other’s hair, scissor bodies, mount and dismount.

CNN wondered if it might be the “sexiest film ever.” The IFC Center in Greenwich Village, which is showing the film, has been criticized by a parents group for allowing teenagers into the NC-17 film. (The Flicks art house cinema in Boise, Idaho, has declined to show the film.)

But not everyone, it seems, has been turned on by the movie, including the very people the film aims to depict: lesbians.

Among the loudest critics has been Julie Maroh, the French writer who wrote the graphic novel of the same name, on which this film was based. On her blog in May, she described the sex scene as “a brutal and surgical display” that turned the lovemaking between two women “into porn.”

“It appears to me that this was what was missing on the set: lesbians,” Ms. Maroh wrote. She added that she went to a screening where everyone was giggling during the sex scenes. “The gay and queer people laughed because it was not convincing, and found it ridiculous.” Marcie Bianco, writing on After Ellen, a lesbian pop cultural website, said the two women “scissoring” their bodies was a classic visual trope of lesbian pornography made by men. Jane Czyzselska, editor of Diva, a popular lesbian magazine in Europe, said that “straight men are excluded from lesbian sexuality because of their gender, so perhaps seek to control it by imagining their fantasies on-screen.”

Abdellatif Kechiche, the film’s acclaimed Tunisian-French director, was also accused of abusing his stars. Ms. Seydoux said she felt trapped on the set and disrespected while shooting the sex scenes. (Mr. Kechiche, in response, called her an “arrogant, spoiled child” and intimated he may take legal action against her.)

That a lesbian sex scene is directed by a heterosexual man and portrayed by heterosexual women should come as no surprise to anyone who has ever walked into a video shop that caters to pornography or typed “lesbian porn” into a web browser.

Mark Kernes, senior editor at AVN, a trade magazine for the adult-film industry, said, “Most lesbian porn is made by men for male consumers who like to imagine themselves as part of a threesome.”

This class of pornography does not appear to appeal to most lesbians. That’s the underlying joke of a popular YouTube video called “Real Lesbians React to Lesbian Porn,” in which a half-dozen lesbians in their 20s are videotaped in what looks like a hotel room, watching a lesbian pornography film that features ridiculously long fake nails and stilettos. In addition to lots of “Oh, my Gods,” laughter and shaking of heads, one woman says, “It’s gross and it’s not sexy and it’s not true.”

Sex between women hasn’t been entirely co-opted by the male gaze: lesbian directors have also imagined same-sex desire. Chantal Akerman’s 1976 film, “Je, tu, il, elle,” (“I, You, He, She”) and Donna Deitch’s 1985 film “Desert Hearts” were landmarks. The rise of New Queer Cinema in the 1990s and directors like Rose Troche (“Go Fish,” 1994) ushered in a new generation of sex-confident storytelling that reached a mainstream apotheosis with Showtime’s “The L Word,” a sexy, glossy soap set among Los Angeles lesbians that ran from 2004 to 2009.

Ilene Chaiken, who produced “The L Word,” made the sex scenes explicit, though more conventionally sexy (lots of hands gliding over stomachs, artfully mussed sheets) than the graphic physicality of “Blue.”

If “Blue” stands alone in its big-screen explicitness, among the first companies occupying the small niche of lesbian pornography made by lesbians was Fatale Media, started in 1985 by Nan Kinney in San Rafael, Calif. Ms. Kinney said she was fed up with straight-male produced pornography. “I couldn’t relate to it,” she said. “It wasn’t what I or my friends were doing in bed.”

Fatale videos feature real-life female couples, and popular titles include “Suburban Dykes” from the late 1980s. “All lesbians of a certain age have seen that movie,” Ms. Kinney said, laughing.

Meanwhile, just as Mr. Kechiche faces criticism for exploitation, the adult-film pendulum is swinging in another intriguing direction. Some lesbian feminist producers in San Francisco, like Shine Louise Houston and Jiz Lee, now argue that male directors are capable of making good lesbian pornography, provided they show respect and sensitivity to their performers.

Annie Sprinkle, a former prostitute turned pornography producer, said her favorite lesbian sex scene was in “Bound,” a 1996 feature film starring Gina Gershon and directed by the Wachowski brothers.

Madison Young, a lesbian pornographic film producer, said that the 1997 movie “Chasing Amy” had been her touchstone. She watched it when she was 17, “while my conservative mother slept in her bedroom of our suburban home nestled in the normalcy of southern Ohio,” she said. The film, Ms. Young added, opened her eyes “to what queer sex was, what possibilities existed, the fluidity of sexuality and identity, and all this was achieved as directed by a straight hetero male.”

Indeed, some lesbians have found the sex scene in “Blue” to their liking, judging by the reactions outside the IFC on Monday night.

“The performances are amazing: they transmit everything to you,” said Karina, a 39-year-old who lives in Manhattan, who went to the movie with a friend. “It was the first time I have seen a ‘real’ lesbian sex scene in a movie. For a man, he got the feeling between two women and a woman discovering herself very well.”

NYC Lesbian Candidate Struggles to Win Women"s Vote

At Cubbyhole, a popular New York lesbian bar, for every two revelers who praised City Council speaker Christine Quinn in her race to become the city’s first woman and first openly gay mayor, one complained about her style and political policies.

“Just because she’s a lesbian, it doesn’t mean I’ll vote for her,” said Veronica Gonzales, 32, who works for a non-profit organization. “She is not socially liberal enough, and she has this air about her like she is above it all – like she is above us.”

While fellow candidate Anthony Weiner’s extramarital sexual transgressions have dominated the headlines, a perplexing reality of the race for mayor of the nation’s largest city is Quinn’s failure to lock up the votes of women and gays, even though she herself is both.

Quinn is the only woman in the race, and the only openly gay candidate, yet she scored only 30 percent support from women in a survey by Quinnipiac University published on July 29. Polls do not break down voting preferences by sexual orientation.

The presumed front-runner of the six candidates vying to succeed Michael Bloomberg has failed to crack the 40 percent level of overall support, the percentage needed to win the Democratic primary on Sept. 10 and avoid a runoff between the top two finishers.

In a runoff with black candidate William Thompson, Quinn would lose 50 percent to 40 percent, the Quinnipiac poll found.

Despite its progressive reputation, New York City has elected few women to citywide office. The best known was Elizabeth Holtzman, who held the top financial post of comptroller from 1990 to 1993. The most recent was Betsy Gotbaum, public advocate until 2009, although Quinn as speaker of the city council is considered the most powerful official after the mayor.

VOTERS AMBIVALENT

In New York’s Greenwich Village, with its significant gay and lesbian population, support for Quinn was mixed.

Gonzales plans to vote for Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, who she said is “more straightforward about his agenda.”

The ambivalence has contributed to a sense that Quinn is unable to close out the race, and one of the other candidates could overtake her, even as support wanes for Weiner.

“Right now, all signs point to a runoff, and with voters not connecting with anyone in particular, it’s going to be a fluid race,” said Lee Miringoff of the Marist poll. “It is very important for Quinn to sharpen her message so that she starts to get into a better shape to do better down the road.”

Voters critical of Quinn most often mention her style, which some view as brash and calculating. Quinn’s backing of a temporary change in the city’s term-limits law, which allowed Bloomberg and other lawmakers to run for a third term, has also been used against her.

De Blasio has positioned himself as a liberal alternative to Quinn on issues such as funding for universal pre-kindergarten programs and preventing hospital closings.

“She needs to do better in the long run with women voters,” Miringoff said. “If she is going to be successful she needs to create a greater appeal among women voters. And to do that, she needs to put her campaign in an historical context.”

In recent weeks, Quinn, long an outspoken proponent of gay marriage, has sought to portray her candidacy as an historic opportunity for New York women.

This week, the Quinn campaign rolled out endorsements from the National Organization of Women and feminist political activist Gloria Steinem.

At the annual Gay Pride parade in Greenwich Village, Quinn marched alongside Edie Windsor, the New Yorker whose U.S. Supreme Court case paved the way for gay couples to receive federal benefits this year, leading more than 1,000 backers.

Quinn’s campaign said it planned targeted advertisements on Facebook asking women to “Make history with Chris Quinn,” and targeting women voters through house parties and phone banks.

Mike Morey, Quinn’s spokesman, noted that she had fought to save education jobs, keep firehouses open and expand access to pre-kindergarten during difficult fiscal times.

“She will continue making the case through Election Day that she is the only candidate who has a real record of results delivering for the middle class,” Morey said.

Back at the Cubbyhole, as a performer clad in black leather shorts and a red wig danced in the background, Jaimie Ho, 35, a structural engineer, said she was not sold on Quinn.

Ho remembered seeing Quinn at the pride parade: “She didn’t seem accessible. She had a ton of body guards around her.”

“I like her background. I like the work she has done in the City Council,” continued Ho. “But I ask myself: Is it fair to vote for her simply because she is gay? There needs to be more substance.”
