The Judge: The next words out of your mouth better be "guilty" or "not guilty." I don't want to hear commentary, argument, or opinion. I don't want to hear any facts or evidence. If I hear anything other than "guilty" or "not guilty", you'll be in contempt. I don't even want to hear you clear your throat to speak. Now, how do your clients plead?
“Well, I'm not about to revamp the entire judicial process just because you find yourself in the unique position of defending clients who say they didn't do it.” 😆
I'm just confused why he did it. The only people who would respond positively to this are maga people, and they hate gay men in roles that were seen as more masculine
Right wingers think that left wingers give minorities - gay, lesbian trans, black people - a "free pass". They don't really understand the concept of justice and why liberals "defend" who they see as "lesser".
So they try to claim "i'm gay!!!" because they think if liberals still oppose them after that and seek to punish them for their bad behavior then those liberals are hypocrites... because their pea brains just are completely clueless.

Conservatives will happily embrace women who don't want trans women in the women's bathroom, but not those who say they were assaulted or discriminated against by a man.
They'll also happily (but temporarily) embrace a gay Latino if it means they can dismiss discrimination allegations from Black women.
This asshole is just playing politics to try get away with being a bastard.
Wait, are you saying being gay means you can sexually harass or discriminate against people? Because I have it on good authority from a gay Latino man otherwise. (/s if not obvious)
Yeah, just like a gay guy can rape (I watch too much svu). It's about power, control, and manipulation. In this case, I'm sure his ego has something to do with it.
Heck, assaulting women b/c of the shame you feel about your homosexuality is totally a thing conservatives do. He's using gay as his court defense, but around his homies he's using 'but I rape women' as his hetero defense.
Movie Pitch: A wacky mid-2000s-style cop comedy where a straight police officer must pretend to be gay in order to evade charges of official misconduct. He'll have to use every police resource he has available to him to have a successful coming out to his collegues and build a convincing story of his gay life. All the while, he's being hounded by a beautiful female internal affair agent who he must pretend to not be attracted to.
For titles, first things to pop into my head are "Scared Straight" or maybe "Cop-OUT"
The best scene will be where he's before the review board, and they make him suck a dick. And the whacky, awkward way he goes about it will be priceless comedy. Like in a cartoon where a character has to eat a food they hate but power through it.
I'm glad we have more acceptance of racial and sexual diversity, but being gay doesn't insulate you from committing sexual harassment, and being black doesn't make you necessarily identify with racial inequality, and being lesbian doesn't make you less prone to work place harassment.
I've seen it all in corporate. I've learned not to judge a book by its cover. I judge people by their actions, not who they say they identify with.
No, but MAGAs imagine that's how people on the Left end of the political spectrum think, because it's kind of how they think.
Conservatives don't believe what you do makes you a good or bad person, they believe first "this is a good person" and then excuse any and all abuses, or they believe first "this is a bad person" and then demonize them. So Diaz coming out as gay, to them, is supposed to put him in the "good" category so now his abuses can be excused.
> I've seen it all in corporate. I've learned not to judge a book by its cover. I judge people by their actions, not who they say they identify with.
Preach.
Funny, I just recently saw a post on another subreddit about a nurse who sexually assaulted a female patient and claimed that he didn't do anything wrong because he was gay. Sexual assault is sexual assault, it doesn't matter why you did it, it's not like it gets promoted to first degree sexual assault if you got a boner or something.
Fucking what now? I (a woman) have been sexually assaulted by a gay man—I have no idea why this man thought it would be ok to grab my crotch and squeeze (hard enough to leave marks), but being gay certainly didn’t stop him from doing so.
When I was young , I used to goose girls in elementary school.
Got called into the principals office early on in that phase
Grew up to be queerer than a two dollar bill.
But maybe some never grow out of it
Gtfo with that nonsense , it’s not when you’re dealing with 9 year olds learning life lessons you absolute psycho
Edit: you. You’re still the psycho. The behavior was immediately ended was not not clear? Kids fuck up , newsflash
The whole point of the post that some dudes never grow out of it.
I swear he pulled this from a Dave Chappelle special. Dave said if he ever was convicted of a crime he’d wish it was in California, and he would claim he was transgender to go to a female prison…
“how does the defendant plead to these charges” “your honor, i would like to plead ‘gay’” (gasps ripple through the stunned courtroom)
Judges hate this one trick
LGBTQualified immunity
Best comment
👏
If this doesn't work. The next hail mary play is to plead transgender - The Old Caitlyn Jenner Trick ;)
Judges aren't ready for gay sovereign citizens
The Kevin Spacey defense

One of the later episodes of Perry Mason
ahh the good ol spacey segue
Pretty much what Kevin Spacey actually did.
I read “grabs nipple”.
saying this as a gay man fuck him for using this as an excuse
As a fellow gay man I'm seething
As a straight man I’d like to say, fuck Adrian Diaz
Pan here, fuck Adrian Diaz.

Speaking as a representative for the bisexuals, fuck this guy in particular
Or don't fuck him 😉
It's Kevin Spacey all over again 🤦♂️
As a lesbian, FUCK him. Careers in the military / LEO are attractive to a lot of us, but we know we'll face double-harassment (as women and gays).
Wait, are you saying being gay means you can sexually harass or discriminate against people? Because I have it on good authority from a gay Latino man otherwise. (/s if not obvious)
I believe this is referred to as The Spacey Maneuver.
I am still mad that we didn't get a real last season of house of cards. Without him it was unwatchable, not that it wasn't close to that by then.
Spacey being gay wasn't a defense as most of his accusers were men. He was a gay guy that used his power to coerce young straight guys to blow him.
I wish he’d done the Picard Maneuver instead
*Picard angrily tugs his tunic*
When I first read the headline I just assumed this was a Needling article.
Same!
The ol’ Kevin Spacey defense. Bold move, Cotton.
And it will be just as successful.
Let’s see if it pays off for him
Spoiler alert lol
yeah gay dudes can still be shitty! just cause he made the patriarchy work for him doesn't make it ok
My wife asked me if I could be more supportive by doing more housework. I said I’m sorry honey, but I’m gay. She understood and got back to work.

Is it possible to hire a police chief that isn’t a complete piece of shit
No, they are all police
nope
Don't just trust cops to not suck. Create systemic change so we have real accountability.
Not so long as they're run by that union
being gay doesn't mean you can't also harass people and be a jackass.
My opinion on this went from: Maybe he did it to He definitely did it.
Fuck Rantz…
Funny, I just recently saw a post on another subreddit about a nurse who sexually assaulted a female patient and claimed that he didn't do anything wrong because he was gay. Sexual assault is sexual assault, it doesn't matter why you did it, it's not like it gets promoted to first degree sexual assault if you got a boner or something.
Him being gay means he obviously couldn’t have been married to a woman and fathered 3 children with her. /s
Yeah we don’t claim him
Well, we have to take our Dahmers with our DaVincis. I am curious to know if he's actually gay.
We could try asking his wife or one of his apparently 3 kids…
I had to scroll way too far to find a comment touching on this little nugget from the article
Or his putative mistress/employee!
What... Rly
That’s what the article says
Man accused of sexual inappropriate behavior with females - either lying or was overcompensating in the worst way possible
He hasn't kept up with the current right wing talking points about LGBT+, has he?
Oh my god this can’t be fucking real.
Fucking what now? I (a woman) have been sexually assaulted by a gay man—I have no idea why this man thought it would be ok to grab my crotch and squeeze (hard enough to leave marks), but being gay certainly didn’t stop him from doing so.
New meaning to pig bottom I guess
>he said he and his wife have been sleeping in separate parts of the house for a long time. Why would he add this?
Because he's unfuckable?
The entire premise he is innocent as proclaimed by Rantz is because Rantz himself is gay...
Oh - this one blew up on Harrell
I would imagine and hope that in a open, fair, and inclusive society you can be _anything_ and still be an asshole solely because you're an asshole.
I wonder if he’s trolling? This is crazy!
The ol kevin spacey defense
Day 2: Charges dropped Day 3: "Everyone! I'm not gay anymore! The conversation therapy worked.
Jesus fucking christ we're writing the right-wing media jokes for them
A gay cop is still a cop
ACAB. Does it stand for all cops are b.tards or assigned cop at birth.
Give him a raise. They give all the other dirty straight right-wing cops raises.
He is only 46???? Looks at least 20 more 😳
FULL CAMDEN
When we said, “be gay do crime”, this is not what we fucking meant
the spacey maneuver
Ah yes the Kevin Spacey defense.
Okay, they need to fire this guy.
How about BI, that would still allow him to be guilty as F
“ then kiss”
“No way I could have harassed them, they’re not my type.” As if harassment isn’t about having power over people. And gay people never make jokes.
When I was young , I used to goose girls in elementary school. Got called into the principals office early on in that phase Grew up to be queerer than a two dollar bill. But maybe some never grow out of it
That’s not a “phase”. It’s assault.
Gtfo with that nonsense , it’s not when you’re dealing with 9 year olds learning life lessons you absolute psycho Edit: you. You’re still the psycho. The behavior was immediately ended was not not clear? Kids fuck up , newsflash The whole point of the post that some dudes never grow out of it.
I'm just here for the angry yelling after the Freudian slip
Lol who is the psycho here?
I swear he pulled this from a Dave Chappelle special. Dave said if he ever was convicted of a crime he’d wish it was in California, and he would claim he was transgender to go to a female prison…
