Fuck this headline and every headline like it. It's click bait trash and delegitimizes the contents of the article and the publisher, regardless of whether or not the information is accurate.

I feel the same way. I refuse to click on the story, but I read the comments hoping someone would say what the words were. They did.

I might have read the story itself, if the title didn’t threaten to make me feel like an easily manipulated fool for doing so. I’ve read several stories from lgbtqnation.com, but that’s because I’ve never seen them stoop to this level before. Clickbait is such lowbrow trash.
