Disneyland is playing with fire by officially stating it will start selling alcoholic beverages at the newly introduced Oga’s Cantina, which will be located in the new Star Wars themed land, Galaxy's Edge, set to open in 2019. Disneyland should not be selling any alcohol within the park because it takes away from the whimsical, happy atmosphere that was designed...

Focus on the crime not your agenda
Photo credit: Rachel Tully
In another childish act of hypocrisy, Conservatives and supporters of stricter anti-immigration laws are using the violent murder of Mollie Tibbetts to further their own racist agendas instead of seeking justice for Tibbetts. The man responsible for her murder should be condemned based on his actions, not the color of his skin or his migratory status. Tibbetts, a 20-year-old college...

Condemn a pervert, go to 'heaven'
Photo credit: Rachel Tully
In a society that still praises men--famous or not even after sexual abuse allegations, it comes as no surprise that people still turn the other cheek with these situations. Last Tuesday, the Guardian reported that more than 1,000 child victims, not including lost records and victims who have not come forward, were sexually abused by more than 300 Pennsylvania priests....

Kanye West's call to freedom from thought
Photo credit: Rachel Tully
Over the past few weeks, Kanye West has been tweeting and making public statements which are objectively insane and has been doing so under the guise of being a free thinker. What does he mean by this? It would be more accurate to say that he isn't a free thinker at all, if anything his words are indirectly advocating to...

'Heterophobic homosexuals' do not need conversion therapy
Photo credit: Rachel Tully
Freedom to choose conversion therapy, which is rooted in hateful and harmful ideologies perpetuated by homophobes, should not be a choice offered to LGBTQ people in the first place. In a recent letter to the editor, Wayne Lela considered it an insult to the “intelligence of people” that California legislators are considering Assembly Bill 2943, which would make it illegal...

It comes to no surprise that the owner of Coachella is a rich old man that promotes anti-LGBTQ organizations, but that doesn’t stop people from attending his festivals. Recently 78-year-old billionaire Philip Anschutz has gone under fire for donating a sizeable amount of money to three specific charities. The Alliance Defending Freedom, the National Christian Foundation and the Family Research...

The future of YouTube

No matter how upset you are with a company's policies, it will never make it okay to go and open fire on innocent employees, but now that it’s happened to YouTube’s San Bruno, California headquarters what will the company do regarding the changes it had made? On April 4th, a woman by the name of Nasim Aghdam unjustifiably opened fire...

Diversity: Perspective vs image
Photo credit: Rachel Tully
Many companies and corporations often put out advertisements and film that show the lack of self-awareness of its board members and promote things that are deemed racist, bigoted and out-of-touch. Heineken recently came out with a commercial where a bar tender seeks out a women who is running out of booze and begins to slide the alcoholic beverage down the...

Security is Secure Right?
Photo credit: Rachel Tully
The Cerritos College campus is an remarkably easy target, campus security is mediocre and there's nowhere to run for cover or even a nearby emergency pole to reach to alert the police. Yet, the famous "Run, Hide, Fight" is what we are supposed to use if there is an active shooter, and this clearly still isn't good enough for us....

All you need is non-conforming love

Valentine’s Day has snuck up on us once more, and with the holiday comes the same, tired media plots and advertisements that exclude queer people in favor of pandering to the majority heterosexual audience. Every ad is just trying to serve its purpose, which is to sell a product. How does a company secure its sales? By showcasing relationships that...
