Sarah Silverman Controversy
Sarah Silverman angered conservative Christians with a controversial Christmas message on Twitter about Jesus.
On Christmas Day, the comedian posted a message on both her Twitter and Facebook accounts calling Jesus “gender fluid.” Sarah Silverman also posted a vulgar joke about Santa Claus on the same day, according to Time.
“MERRY CHRISTMAS! Jesus was gender fluid!” said Silverman.
The term gender fluid refers to a person who does not permanently commit to being male, female, or neutral. A gender fluid person’s gender identity changes over time, the NY News Daily explains.
Twitter user @YoungCons reacted by calling Silverman’s Christmas tweet “unthinkable.” Alan Randall, another Twitter user, also called her out and suggested that the comedian

    Sarah Manguso's Ongoingness

    The central idea for the essay “ Ongoingness” is that when we are recording things with writing or with photography, we aren’t experiencing the moments. As stated by Sarah Manguso in the essay,” The trouble was that I failed to record so much. I’d write about a few moments, but the surrounding time- there was so much of it! So much apparent nothing I ignored, that I treated as empty time between the memorable moments.” Manguso was explaining how she was only focused on the beginning and the end, she wasn’t focusing on the middle, which is the actual experience. Also,“ the diary becomes ‘ a series of choices about what to omit, what to forget.’ “ When we tell or write stories, we sometimes leave out important parts of the story that we don’t…

    Another example that Michael A. Babcock pointed out is, “how you can’t call it “Christmas” in a public place anymore.” I hear so many “Merry X-Mas and Happy Holidays”, you hardly ever hear “Merry CHRIST-mas.” There is a gradual decrease in the amount of true spiritual celebrations we have in this country today. It is truly heartbreaking to see.…

    Stonewall Riots: Civil Rights Perceptions Of Homosexuals

    The LGBTQ Spectrum and Community do everything they can in order to create awareness. One of the many things they have done is continuously explaining themselves and their world to others. Melissa Fabello, a sexuality educator based out of Philadelphia, wrote an article on Ravishly, a website about feminism, but was later published on the Huffington Post, explained the way her sexuality has changed over time and that it was never a “phase”, but understanding herself a different way. In the article she says, “I’m over here rooted firmly in my understanding of my experience, and you are insistent that I’m not — just because this is a new concept to you. I have lived with my sexually-fluid self for the entirety of my existence.That’s 30 years of experience with sexual fluidity. You just came upon this concept recently. I promise that I am less confused than you…

    Rodriguez And Sykes: A Satirical Analysis

    Similarly, Wanda Sykes is known for her clever witticisms and personal approach to comedy, making her a standout in the industry. Sykes' humor often centers around taboo topics, from “....LGBTQ issues to police violence against Black Americans” (Pener, Degen); this type of standup offers a unique perspective that allows audiences from all walks of life to find humor in. Her ability to weave controversial topics into her routines demonstrates her comedic prowess and further dispels the notion that women are not funny. Considering the talent of both Rodriguez and Sykes, the stereotype that women are not funny is not only outdated, but also demonstrably false. Female comedians like Aida Rodriguez and Wanda Sykes, along with countless others, have consistently proven that women have just as much comedic talent and skill as men.…

    Teaching Civil Liberties

    A battle began in November 2005 over the issue of properly labeling the holiday season to ensure that no one had civil liberties trampled on. Issues that many previously took for granted, such as the naming of a tree or labeling greeting cards, as either Christmas or simply holiday, became the central focus of this debate. The battles escalated until seemingly at stake were the Christian traditions that arguably established this nation. The battle lines seemed foggy and often overlapped as the nightly news and local and national politicians hastened to answer the clarion call of duty. The turmoil dragged Americans of all stripes in; most seemed offended, others defensive, all vocal. A card stating “Happy Holidays” that at one time seemed to convey a Christmas message became an ambiguous if not outright anti-Christian statement. Consumers blacklisted retailers who refused to leave the “Christ” in Christmas. Some business owners, adhering more to the almighty dollar than to any religious belief, flip-flopped to avoid damaging the brisk holiday sales. Even the American Civil Liberties Union held the stance of…
