I missed the passing of out comedianScott Kennedy last week. Scott was out when it wasn't easy to be out, 
and traveled to Iraq and Afghanistan more than 50 times to perform for the troops, despite it not being the most welcoming environment. Dave Holmes has a great tribute to the man, and we're left in a world with fewer laughs because of his passing.
Friend of the site Jane Espensonis reportedly writing a spinoff toOnce Upon a Time, to take place in Wonderland, structured as a series of complete arcs like American Horror Story. The only problem is that Jane has tweeted that there are several inaccuracies in the reports, but she's not saying which ones.
In things nobody saw coming, Ain't Them Bodies Saints director David Loweryhas been hired by Disney to develop an updated Pete's Dragon for Disney. The new movie wouldn't be a musical. I have fond memories of Pete's Dragon from childhood, but haven't seen it since to really remember why I have them.
Democrats in Nevada have begun the long process to repeal the constitutional amendment banning marriage equality in the state. The bill has to pass the legislature this year, again in 2015, and be put to voters in 2016, 
at which point they could pass equality in 2017.
More than 17,000 men were hospitalized for zipper related injuries between 2002 and 2010. If you're going to go commando, tuck before you zip.
Erik Estrada, most famous for CHiPs in the 1970s, is set to star inUncommon, a religious liberty musical by the anti-gay Liberty Counsel. The movie will seek to highlight the need for prayer in public schools, largely banned because, well, you shouldn't force kids to pray, or feel uncomfortable because they're not praying with their peers.
Many marches and vigils are scheduled next week as the Supreme Court hears oral arguments in the Prop 8 and DOMA trials. Find your nearest one here. Sadly, the closest one to me is about 80 minutes away on a work day, and I won't be able to make it.
The latest allegations against former Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clashinclude a crystal meth sex party with one of the alleged victims. D is for Don't Do Drugs.
New Mexico is a bit of a unicorn, because the marriage statute doesn't really say if same-sex couples can get married. The mayor and city attorney of Sante Fe said they believe it's perfectly legal, and urged marriage license to be issued, but that's the function of the county clerks, not the city, and county clerks are holding to their last guidance from a previous Attorney General. The current Attorney General, Gary King, says he hasn't been asked to issue guidance on the subject, but expects it will happen soon.
The American Decency Association, which I've never heard of, really doesn't likeGlee, and not just because the writing is so inconsistent. “Each week Glee producer Ryan Murphy stirs together a gruel of illicit sexuality, secular humanist ideology, and the promotion of homosexuality and deviant behavior – and then spoon feeds it to millions of youth across the nation.” You say that like it's a bad thing.
A new bill before Congress would require cell phone providers to back up your text messages indefinitely for the government to be able to search, sometimes without a warrant. Yes, that includes those pictures of your junk you sent to the guy on Manhunt who doesn't have a paid account.
Malala Yousafzai, the girl shot in the face by the Taliban for writing about her joy of attending school, has returned to school, in the UK.
After Finland dropped a marriage equality bill, the populace quickly pulled together 50,000 signatures on petitions, which forces parliament to revisit the issue. It now takes 100,000 signatures in the U.S. to get the White House to respond to a petition to build a Death Star, so you may not want to try this route here.
Lesbian singer Janis Ianhas delivered a broadside toMichelle Shocked, who screamed "God Hates Fags" at her San Francisco concert. ""It is sad when a talented person chooses to use that talent in the service of their own misplaced rage, and their disappointment in their own life. I often wonder if people like this die and meet God, who will smack them upside the head and say 'Did I really LOOK like I needed your help?!"
Carly Fiorina, head of HP and failed Senate candidate doesn't think anyone but the people
should decide about marriage equality, not "a bunch of self-important, self-appointed judges.” You can appoint yourself a judge?
Senator Rand Paul, a presidential hopeful, has come out in favor of carefully worded immigration reform, but his reasoning isn't because everyone deserves a shot. "Defense of the unborn and defense of traditional marriage are Republican issues that should resonate with Latinos but have been obscured by the misperception that Republicans are hostile to immigrants."
Colton Haynes didn't think there were enough mirrors in the salon to gaze upon his beauty, so he took a picture
You can adopt this guy. The puppy, not Lance Bass
I'm assuming that Jesse Tyler Ferguson is on a low carb diet based on his facial expression
The first image of Tina Fey in The Muppets...Again!
Jacob Rudolph is the new Jersey teenager we all saw come out to his high school assembly a few months ago to a standing ovation. He testified today in support of the bill New Jersey is considering that would ban reparative therapy. The line "I am not broken. I am not confused. I do not need to be fixed." needs to on bumper stickers, t-shirts, and campaigns for GLBT youth everywhere, and you really need to listen to him deliver it. You actually need to listen to the whole thing.
Back a few months ago, College Humor made a fake trailer for a live-action Dora the Explorer movie starring Modern Family's Ariel Winter. It was so popular they were forced to make an actual webseries about the trailer, and the first installment of Dora the Explorer and the Destiny Medallion is now out, and proves not only is Dora a badass, Diego grew up to be really hot.
Back when Larry King was a young disc jockey, he received a proposition from a woman on the air. While I generally don't want to think about Larry King having sex, this has to be one of the most ridiculously funny and charming stories I've heard in a while.
Remember the dancing miniature pony from last week? He's back, this time rocking out to "The Final Countdown."
In Japan, you can go to a restaurant with monkeys as waiters. Granted, the monkeys wear strange masks and costumes, but still, monkey waiters! The health department has approved this, but the local animal protection service limits the monkeys to working only two hours each day.
As many of you know, I fell in love with Despicable Me. The movie was so charming, and had the minions for heart and comic relief. It was nearly perfect. The first full trailer for Despicable Me 2 is out, and finds Gru getting back into the villain game, but where does that leave his life as a father?
What if famous websites were people? Would you want to be friends with them? Judging by this, probably not.
