LMFAO

Angrily stomping on his vestments and throwing his zucchetto on the ground, Cardinal Pietro Parolin told reporters Friday that being passed over for pope meant he had devoted his life to God for absolutely nothing. “Five goddamn decades of faith, dedication, and service in the name of our Lord and Savior, and this is the thanks I get?” said the 70-year-old Veteran Vatican diplomat, adding that he would have spent his life mired in sin if he knew it was going to end with Cardinal Robert Prevost being elected the 267th Pope of the Catholic Church.

George Nader was born in Pasadena, California, and earned a degree at the nearby Occidental College. He joined the Navy in 1943. After completing his tour of duty, Nader returned to Pasadena and began acting on stage at the Pasadena Playhouse. In 1947, he met Mark Miller, who would become his life partner.

Nader was ruggedly good-looking, and you can find many shirtless pictures of him online. As a homosexual in Hollywood, he needed to be discreet about his relationship with Miller. While the studios made him go on “dates” with actresses, he never feigned a long-term relationship with any of them.

“We lived in fear of an exposé or a veiled suggestion that someone was homosexual. Such a remark would have caused an earthquake at the studio. Every month, when Confidential came out, our stomachs began to turn. Which of us would be it?”

Nader’s most famous role was in “Robot Monster” (1953), a low-budget sci-fi movie featuring a man in a gorilla suit with a fishbowl with antennas on its head. It’s been called one of the worst movies in Hollywood history, but it was successful at the box office.

Soon, Nader was cast in films at Universal Studios, where he met Rock Hudson. Nader, Miller, and Hudson would become long-lasting friends. Like other gay men, they created their own “family” for love and support.

In 1955, Nader won a Golden Globe Award for "Most Promising Newcomer". Unfortunately, that didn’t develop into Hollywood stardom. Nader was relegated to mostly B Pictures and supporting roles, and on television.

In the late 1950s, Nader decided to try his luck in Europe. In 1958, he was cast in the leading role in British film “Nowhere to Go”. His costar was Maggie Smith in her first movie.

Nader was next cast as the “German James Bond” as FBI agent Jerry Cotton in a series of 8 films shot in West Germany.

Nader returned to the US in the 1970s, but injured an eye in an auto accident. He developed an extreme sensitivity to bright lights, which made working on a studio set impossible. Facing retirement from acting, Nader tried his hand at writing novels. His most successful book is “Chrome” - a science-fiction novel about a man and his robot in a sexual relationship.

It was around this time that Rock Hudson hired Mark Miller to become his personal secretary. Therefore, Nader and Miller were Hudson’s support system when he was diagnosed with AIDS. When Hudson died, he bequeathed the interest from his $27 million estate to the couple.

After the traumatic events of Rock Hudson’s final days, Nader and Miller issued a press release coming out as gay to the public. Nader died of natural causes in 2002. He and Miller had been together for 55 years. Mark Miller passed in June of 2015.

Note: after several searches I could not find any photos of George Nader with Mark Miller. Also Miller should not be confused with actor with the same name. The photo below is from a 2010 documentary where Miller was interviewed about Hudson’s life.

Someone was asking in a thread what kind of people could work for ICE right now.

I think it's a good time to remember that the image above are the people who put children into gas chambers.

When I was little, I asked what kind of person could work at a concentration camp.

The answer to both questions I think is "normal people who have accepted the dehumanization of another group of people."
