For those of you thinking that Steve Newlin was ready to enter a relationship with Russell Eddington on True Blood, 
that might be true, but he's far from done with his first love, Jason Stackhouse. And who could blame him?
If you ever wondered if Olympic swimmers pee in the pool, the answer is yes. All the time. Frequently, sometimes while racing.
Americans are unique. And visitors to our country can be truly amazed by our quirkiness. Here are many, many things that foreign visitors find strange about us.
Congress has passed a law targeted at stopping the Westboro Baptist Church from protesting at military funerals, restricting the times that protests at military funerals can take place, and how far from the funerals protesters have to stay. I'm all for supporting our troops, and all for shutting down Westboro, but does anyone think this law can survive the courts?
Why is DJ Tanner eating at Chik-Fil-A? Pat Boone I can understand, but DJ? Uncle Jesse would not be pleased.
President Obama has nominated Chinese-American lesbian Pamela Ki Mai Chen, an assistant U.S. District Attorney to the federal bench in the Eastern District of New York.
The Human Rights Campaign has launched a new database detailing members of Congress positions on marriage equality and other gay rights issues. I'm still trying to understand my representatives scores, like my most liberal representative, Senator Jay Rockefeller, who got an 80% but opposes basically everything except the SSIA.
An appeals court has upheld the Hate Crimes Act, which was challenged by a group of ministers from Michigan. The court found that they had not suffered any harm from the bill, and were not likely to, since even preaching that gays should be put to death according to the Bible wasn't covered under the act.
The latest Hollywood remake? Endless Love
New York Magazine has a remarkable profile of the gay throuple behind porn studio Cockyboys. It's not sensational, from their profession to their living arrangement.
It remarks on how grounded and normal their relationship seems, with art and their dogs, while running a successful porn studio. It spends a night with them upstate, and even attends a shoot of a film. Really, I know what you're thinking, but the piece is stunning.
Rep. Barney Frank is amazed at the attention the inclusion of marriage equality in the Democratic plank has drawn. "The draft Democratic Platform, if this plank is accepted in its current form, will affirm support for the right of same-sex couples to marry and affirm our opposition to DOMA. It will not be a promise but a summary of actions by the Democratic President and more than 90 percent of House Democrats. I am therefore surprised that some people were surprised that the party's platform would reflect what the party's elected officials already have done."
The rumors that Br
ad Pitt is trying to fast track a gay role in response to his mother's comments on equal marriage are a figment of the National Enquirer's vibrant imagination.
DeGrassi has never shied away from divisive issues, and has been a trailblazer for delicate subjects for twelve years, including many GLBT issues. This is a list of 239 taboo topics the teen soap has tackled, and we're a better place for them having done so.
Neil Patrick Harris, David Burtka and the twins are vacationing with Sir Elton John and David Burnish again, and it's about the cutest thing you've ever seen in your life.
The majority of Marylanders say they will vote to uphold marriage equality, but I wouldn't get cocky about it.
The New York Times has been forced to issue some unique corrections to their Gore Vidal obituary, including this gem: "And Mr. Vidal's relationship with his longtime live-in companion, Howard Austen, was also described incorrectly. According to Mr. Vidal's memoir Palimpsest, they had sex the night they met, but did not sleep together after they began living together. It was not true that they never had sex."
Ryan Lochte's mom says that the swimmer is too busy for a relationship. 
“He goes out on one-night stands. He’s not able to give fully to a relationship because he’s always on the go.” Would you be mortified to hear your mother say that? But hey Ryan, I'm available.
Perhaps the best summary of the Chick-Fil-A disaster yet written. Now why couldn't we control the narrative like this in the runup?
Matthew Mitcham poses majestically. Is it evil I imagine him doing a belly flop after this and giggling?
At times, The Guardian is like the liberal version of the NY Post with their headlines
Gareth Thomas hits the beach, but sadly not in a Speedo
And it would get higher ratings than CNN
Naya Rivera and Heather Morris return to the Glee set
Trevor Donovan takes the Los Angeles traffic seriously
In this flashback scene from Political Animals, we discover that TJ has in fact been happy at different points in time, and sober. But being a Hammond just isn't compatible with happiness.
I don't know what I'm more amazed by - the idea that someone might take this comedy bit and actually try and manufacture Cat Spanx, or the fact that the cat didn't claw her to death when she put them on.
ESPN talks about sports fan funerals in this film from Errol Morris. I really don't see how people commit to something like this, even in death. I need a front license plate for my car since the dealer already put holes in the front bumper, and the screws are rusting. I thought I'd buy a nice frame and have the airbrush guy make me something, and I realized after a week of thought that there is not a single thing on this planet I'm so in love with that I'm willing to display it on the front of my car. These people want to show off their love of a sports team for eternity.
Ryan Murphy is on a roll releasing deleted scenes from Glee. This is the Bridesmaid scene from last season, with Quinn serving up some reality that Rachel doesn't want to hear. Lea Michele is lobbying to have a scene she shot with Jonathan Groff released, and I hope she convinces Murphy.
Michael Hinman of the fabulously geeky Airlock Alpha talks to Jodie Wheeler about Bent-Con, which is for GLBT creators and takes place in December for the third time. In full disclosure, Jodie is a friend of mine, and the man behind last year's Judas Kiss.
Seattle Children's hospital had a teen patient that missed her cat when she stayed at the hospital for treatment, so they reached out to their Facebook friends for cat pictures. They then projected the images on a sheet for their patient while playing sounds of cats purring. Alternately, this could be used as a torture device for me.
Mentos produced this ad for Singapore National Night, which as I understand it is designed to up the country's birth rate by encouraging hanky-panky. Mentos believes that hanky-panky should always be done with fresh breath, which is why I always did shots of Rumplemintz when I hit the gay bar.
Finally, in the Chick-Fil-A overboard category, Gay Patriot blogger Bruce Campbell attempted to eat at Chick-Fil-A on August 1st in support of the chain, but being gay, the automated defense systems blocked his entry. I'm sorry, but I can't say what I think of this guy on this blog, but you might imagine.
