According to The Wrap, Lauer’s contract is null and void since he’s been fired on a morals charge, and he will be taking home $0 in payout. Good. https://www.thewrap.com/matt-lauer-severance-pay-nbc-today/

Ohdeargod. Yeah, ballet masters must grab their dancers by the pussy in demonstrating how to execute a proper tour jeté . Thank you for pointing out that fuzziness, New York Times.

Don’t hold your breath. Even the Log Cabin Republicans around here won’t explain that political affiliation.

And of course, Queen Latifah.

Show queen? Now that’s funny.

And, as we know, gay men never marry women.

Dunno about “more” appalling, but certainly as appalling. Bastards.

The Pervert Home Companion?

And with good reason: The “gay lifestyle” is a political fiction created by right wing homophobes as a tool of oppression. It’s just like any stereotype. It’s not uncommon for gay people to assume it’s real, partly because it is publicly debated while silence surrounds the ordinary lives of gay people. But it’s as phony as the “straight lifestyle.” A primary difference between straight people and gay people: Straight people mostly don’t have to deal with homophobia.

Being gay is not just about having sex. Why would you think that?

Seems to me, based on your own description of the job and company, that being gay is very much a workplace issue. What am I missing?

He was fairly brazen when he picked up a friend of mine cruising Melrose Ave. in his white Rolls in the ‘80s.

The closet is it’s own punishment.

I don't mean to nit-pick, but it was the success of the Black Civil Rights movement in the 1960s that birthed the Religious Right as a political movement, which began in the 1970s, not the 1980s. Falwell, especially, launched the political ambitions of evangelical fundamentalists, because he was losing his school's tax-exemption for refusing to desegregate. The Radical Right was birthed by racism. A decade later, homophobia threw gasoline on their already raging fire of bigotry.

That's what Harvey Weinstein said.

Yeah, NBC News, Variety, NYT, etc., just publish and air accusations. No corroboration, no cross checking, no verification. They’re stenographers, really, just like those bitter “ladies” who no doubt pushed themselves into Lauer’s pants, got rejected and called the press, who typed up what they had to say. You are very insightful.

“When you're a star, you can do anything.“ At least for a while.

First-Degree Murder Second Degree Murder Manslaughter Justifiable homicide Etc.

Wait until Cher finds out. And Dolly Parton!

Remember his hideous, misogynistic interview with Hillary during the Commander-in-Chief Forum — the one in which he threw softballs to fellow sexual predator Trump? Good riddance. https://www.politico.com/story/2017/11/29/hillary-clinton-supporters-matt-lauer-firing-268778

This Trump tweet is now gone. I wonder whether Gen. Kelly also flushed Trump’s phone down the toilet? Exploiting the tragic death of a young woman is sort of un-presidential. Unless you’re Bozo, jacking off to your stock portfolio.

“Dear Friends in these days of modern time, when you can’t tell the AC’s from the DC’s, well aren’t we all yearning for someone who can turn on a little stopping power? ” Firesign Theater, 1970

Apparently we will never learn that sexual gratification is not the goal or the point of this abuse.

He already has. They’re quoted in this thread, above.

Given that Lauer’s long-term philandering was a poorly kept secret, and given that lots of reporters at other news outlets (NYT, HuffPo, etc.) had been working on the story for many months, how is it that Savannah, Koda and the others boo-hooing on the TV about the ousting of their dear friend Matt are so shocked and surprised? They really are crappy journalists. Maybe they should be let go, too, for cause.
