The Carrie Diaries' Brendan Dooling has had a whirlwind first season, going from girlfriend to coming out, Brendan Doolingand it's just going to get more intense. Still, Brendan doesn't know where his story might go in season two, if it happens. "I mean, in the books, he lives in a tent in his backyard because his dad doesn't want him in the house. I'm not sure where Amy Harris and the writers are going to take his story. You know, I don't know how much of — godwilling, Season 2 — I don't know how much of that would be Carrie and Walt in the city, as opposed to Walt in Castlebury. But there's certainly a lot more adversity coming his way. He's had support in the closet, and now I don't know what his support system is like outside of it." And Entertainment Weeklyhas a very spoilery photo you probably want to see.

Florida Senator Bill Nelsonhas become the 51st Senator to support marriage equality. Now that we have a slim majority, would it be too much to ask for a symbolic vote from the Senate on the Respect For Marriage Act?

Cindy McCain has been on record as supporting marriage equality, unlike her husband, Senator John McCain. But she also requested to be removed from a commercial in support of equality. So color me surprised that she's scheduled to appear in a Phoenix production of Dustin Lance Black's8 the Play.

Jeff lewisJeff Lewishas landed another show on Bravo, Property Envy. It's essentially like Fashion Police for homes, with Jeff sitting on a panel critiquing homes, including some celebrity homes.

The Abbey is being sued by two women who claimed busboys at the iconic bar slipped them date rape drugs and raped them outside the bar. They're each seeking $10 million from the bar.

Newt Gingrichis addicted toDownton Abbey. But I don't really understand his characterization of the show. "You're never bored. It's sort of MTV designed into longform."

The Texas A&M Student Senate passed a bill that will allow students to opt out of allowing their fees to be used to support the GLBT Resource Center. At the last minute, the bill title was changed from GLBT Funding Opt Out Bill to The Religious Funding Exemption Bill, which seems to be a new naming trend that needs to stop. Nobody is stepping on your religious freedom with marriage, counseling, or a safe place to meet on campus. If you want to be honest, just call it the Freedom To Discriminate Bill and move on.Patti Davis

Ronald Reagan's son Michaelattempted to justify his anti-gay comments on Piers Morgan, but failed miserably, even claiming he didn't compare being gay to murder, at least not in the version of the comments he approved. So there were worse comments you didn't approve? Meanwhile, his sister Patti Davis says that her father, conservative icon Ronald Reagan, would have supported marriage equality. “I grew up in this era where your parents’ friends were all called aunt and uncle. And then I had an aunt and an aunt. We saw them on holidays and other times." She says her father even talked to her about Rock Hudson and how he preferred to kiss men.

The ACLU is fighting a Nevada law that makes consensual sex between minors of the same gender under the age of 18 a crime, but not if the minors are male and female. The law makes sex between persons of the same gender "infamous crimes against nature" and has been used to prosecute a same-sex underage couple last year.Marie Osmond

Salt Lake City isn't really known for tolerance of GLBT folks (though I've had some wild times there at the gay clubs). But the Salt Lake Tribuneseems to think it's time the state embraced equality, because it's family values. "We must start asking ourselves, how much longer will we continue to hurt our families? A rally last week against marriage equality was hosted at the Utah State Capitol by the Osmond family, and featured high-profile speakers, including Gov. Gary Herbert. The organizers sought desperately to keep the tone civil, with multiple speakers claiming they were not speaking out of hatred, but out of love for all. But what kind of love is it to tell your fellow human beings, 'I love you, I just don’t want the best for you?'"

Here's a blast from the past - the five minute long pilot made to sell Daria to MTV. It's all line drawings, no color, but each character is instantly recognizable, and from the looks of it, the show didn't change much from pilot pitch to series.

 

While we've heard the vast majority of this WonderCon interview with Teen Wolf's Dylan O'Brien, it's still adorable to sit and watch him answer questions about Sterek, Lydia, and what he wishes he knew when he started filming the series. Bonus points for how he comments on Danny's new relationship.

 

In Da Nang, Vietnam, there is a six lane bridge that cost $86 million, and has a dragon on it, outlined in LED lights that sprays fire periodically. Can you imagine something like this being built in the U.S.? It's a lawsuit waiting to happen. And a place to roast marshmallows.

 

Beyonce released a new Pepsi commercial that has her dancing with past versions of herself. I'm beginning to be over Beyonce. She just seems too emphatically Beyonce, and less and less human and relatable each day.

 

Despite the lack of coherent arguments from the right about why marriage equality shouldn't happen, perhaps there is a reason that gays shouldn't get married.

 

Many people don't know that Danielle Fishel went to her prom with then boyfriend Lance Bass. In her webseries, she tells a fan how to ask your man to the prom instead of waiting, just like she did with Lance.
