Congratulations to all of those New Yorkers who exercised their long-overdue civil rights yesterday and got married! Especially the Manhattan couple, Phyllis Siegel, 76, and Connie Kopelov, 84, – together for 23 years! I hate to break the news though, the U.S. Federal Government doesn’t think you’re actually a couple! Neither do my relatives in the south…

…an infinite series of possible encounters… The marriage equality issue isn’t ultimately about marriage, at least, not for me. Simply and quickly put, the entire debate is yet another public opportunity to voice who deserves rights, discrimination, bastardizing, and acceptance, no hate or holds barred. Of course, technically (& on the surface of all this),…
Ever Hear of “The Family”? Get Ready… Fear or disinterest? The powers that be don’t care why we don’t discuss how our oppressions work together to isolate us while sustaining their power and positions, so long as we don’t turn our attentions to them and their puppetry. Why should you get mixed up in the…

In spite of the dreary economy, LGBT people are being encouraged to raise awareness of their rights and impact in the country by calling in “gay” to work this week, closing down their businesses, refraining from shopping, and instead doing volunteer work. The action, dubbed “Day Without A Gay,” is set for Wednesday, December 10…
At the Las Vegas rally for Proposition 8 yesterday, comedian and Adventures of New Christine ingenue Wanda Sykes told a massive crowd of onlookers that she’d gotten married on October 25…to a woman. After divorcing her husband in 1998, many had hoped Sykes would break up Larry David’s marriage and claim him for her own.…
STRAIGHT OUTTA JEZEBEL: While I can’t quite do the graphic design work that went into Gay Times‘ man-pussy ad or its “women are all stupid, frightening bitches” ad or even any of its three “get laid more” ads, I can push out a list of talking points like a mofo. So, following are the talking…

I’m not fond of this awesome blog’s name, “Women Against Sarah Palin,” (wish it were “People Against McCain’s Camp,” though that wouldn’t draw as much attention), but I *am* down with the sentiment behind the naming: Just because McCain picked a female running-mate doesn’t instantly mean women will blindly vote for her. Palin’s got some…
GET RID OF THE BRAIN, REPEAT ALL REPUBLICAN PRECEPTS, & “Woo Hoo. Future VP? Take off the top Sweety!!” I actually thought it was uncool to post this photo, but after cruising the ‘net, I find that many Republicans are all for Sarah Palin (the quote above is real, made by a Republican supporter), based…
I know it’s silly, but the AFA (the FPN’s boycott begins next week) has now begun a campaign to let Hallmark know they just don’t appreciate the card industry taking advantage of a new money-making gay marriage market. They want you to waste time posting an email to some Hallmark flunkie to tell him just…
