A few years ago, pop star Myka said he didn't like labels, but to go ahead and call him bisexual. Now, in an upcoming interview with Instinct, he says “If you ask me am I gay, I say yeah. Are these songs about my relationship with a man? I say yeah. And it’s only through my music that I’ve found the strength to come to terms with my sexuality beyond the context of just my lyrics. This is my real life.”

The Dark Knight Rises will continue to dominate the box office this weekend with another $36 million, outpacing Total Recall's $26 million, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid 3's $17 million.
Nick Jonas has confirmed that he's being considered for the judge's seat on American Idol, and would love to do it. Can he finally shed the Disney image with some biting commentary?
In a recent interview, Arnold Schwarzenegger says that his mother was concerned about him as a youth. "My mother was always worried because she saw the pictures on my bedroom wall of naked men oiled up. And so she called the... doctor and said, 'Is something wrong? Is my son turning south here?"
I don't think we really got any traction with the Same-Sex Kiss In Day at Chick-Fil-A (or maybe I'm just bitter I had no one willing to kiss me in front of a fast food restaurant), but because I like to see hot dudes kissing, here you go.
Speaking of hot guys, Buzzfeed has The Hottest Guys from A-Z, but they couldn't come up with anyone for "U" or "Y" so maybe you can help them out in the comments?

For the record, Ryan Lochte's mom meant that Ryan goes out on a lot of dates, not a lot of one night stands. Or at least that's what he tells mama.
Mitt Romney picked up a pair of celebrity endorsements. First up was porn star Jenna Jameson, speaking to CBS from a strip club. “I’m very looking forward to a Republican being back in office. When you’re rich, you want a Republican in office.” Then Clint Eastwood endorsed him, because he always felt Romney was too handsome to be governor, but he'd make a perfect looking president.
Ah, Tennessee, you're the gift that just keeps giving. Tennessee Democrats have mistakenly nominated Mark Clayton as their candidate for U.S. Senate. Clayton is the Vice President of certified anti-gay hate group Public Advocate, and got the most votes in the primary largely because no one knew who any of the candidates were and just voted for the first name on the list.
Rosie O'Donnell has postponed her wedding to Michelle Rounds after Rounds was diagnosed with a rare type of tumor. Our thoughts and best wishes to the both of them.
U.S. District Court in Central California has denied the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group's motion to stay the DOMA case of Cooper-Harris vs. USA. BLAG had wanted to delay proceedings until after the U.S. Supreme Court decided to take up Gill vs. OPM, but the court denied the motion, saying they didn't meet the test for a stay, "1) damage that could result from granting the stay; 2) hardship that may result if the stay is denied; and 3) following an 'orderly course of justice' measured in the simplification or complication of 'issues, proof, and questions of law' that may result from a stay being granted."
Remember the campus police officer who casually pepper-sprayed peaceful protestors on the UC Davis campus? He's now been fired for the act, with the police chief overruling the investigative panel.
A gay man was barred from seeing his partner in an inpatient mental health hospital after nurses complained he kissed the partner goodbye. The hospital does accept Medicare and Medicaid, putting in afoul of recent rules by the Obama administration about discrimination based on sexual orientation.

I think we've found another gay robot.
Train is speaking out after discovering their song "Marry Me" was being used by an anti-equality website in New Zealand. “We take the idea of marriage very seriously, and believe it is the right of all consenting adults, regardless of sexual orientation. “Marry Me" is about just that, finding that special love and making it last forever. Everyone should be allowed to have that.”
Neil Patrick Harris is loving the views in the south of France. Aren't we all?

Jon Stewart wraps up the Chick-Fil-A mess last weekwith a sane, yet hopeful view on what's happening in the world that's larger than fast food restaurants and cable news soundbits. This is why I name him an Honorary Gay.
But speaking of cable news soundbites on the subject of Chick-Fil-A, Megyn Kelly did what was a remarkably balanced interview on Fox news with Dr. Robert Jeffress. They discuss where the conversation left the rails when the politicians jumped in, how we're constantly correcting historical slights against marginalized groups, and even gets Jeffress to admit that marriage equality is inevitable, regardless of the views of religious groups. Roger Ailes probably had a mini-stroke when he realized what happened there.
I've railed against the lame, boring marriage equality ads that our side airs in battleground states, while the opposition plays on fear. But humor has a place in the discussion, as you can see from this ad from Minnesota.
Thinking back to Shaun of the Dead, I realize that the Brits really get zombie movies. The red band trailer for Cockneys vs. Zombies is pitch perfect, with gore, humor, and a bit of violence. NSFW language.
I'm starting to think I should join a support group for people who don't like superhero movies, because I just can't get into a lot of what's come out recently. And that includes The Dark Knight, no matter what people say.
Someone recently said that we hadn't heard much about Pride House at the Olympics. According to a press release I missed in my inbox (shoot me, I get dozens every day), Pride House didn't open until Friday, August 3, and runs until August 7th. So we should start seeing more from it. But one thing we have now is photographer Jeff Sheng, who is exhibiting Fearless at Pride House, his collection of photographs over nine years of out high school and college athletes. He's compile the photographs into a video for the first time for those of us not in London. Jeff's passion for his projects really comes through in the photographs, and I count myself a huge fan.
The Colors of Evil was a senior thesis animation at Ringling College of Art and Design, and it is truly awesome to watch. This should be on television. When a little girl summons a demon to help her deal with a bully, she doesn't get quite what she planned for, but maybe just what she needed.
Ryan Murphy continues to release lost scenes from Glee. First up we have the "Hello 12" scene with Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff fighting over mirrors, which really does fit the personalities of the characters, and shows off what really were the biggest voices on the show.
He also gives us the Warblers with "I Want You Back," which will no doubt enrage fans of Klaine as Sebastian shamelessly flirts with Blaine in front of Kurt. There are some obvious issues with the audio synch, but the mastering probably was never finished. Still, Blaine isn't one to lie down and take something like that, though I am a bit surprised that Kurt was.
The World In Two Minutes is a cute YouTube series showcasing some of the foibles of different countries around the world, and some of the ridiculous things we're guilty of. This is the United States.
Finally, I like it when a power player has a sense of humor about himself, so when I saw out director/producer Bryan Singer had a video out of him reacting to internet parodies of Bryan Singer movies, I was instantly hooked.
