Buzzfeed has a list of seven states that they think could achieve marriage equality in 2013. Illinois, Delaware, Minnesota, Hawaii, New Jersey, Rhode Island and California are in play this year. I think Minnesota is a stretch – we didn't win the fight against a constitutional amendment by much, and assuming people don't want a giant permanent ban is a long way from deciding they're ready for equality.
The National Union o
f Students is warning colleges against naked calendars like the Warwick Rowing Club put out, saying (particularly women) could end up on porn sites. Isn't this stating the obvious?

A Maryland trolley company that offered wedding party transport is getting out of the business rather than accommodate same-sex couples. This was discovered when a straight man enquired about the service and was told it was ending, because the owner couldn't discriminate as a public accommodation as churches can. The straight man responded "It is your right to run your business any way you see fit, but let's be honest here, you drive a trolley up and down a street. Not exactly God's work."
Why do mirrors reverse left-right but not up-down? Have you ever thought about it? Because the answer may not be quite what you think.
Parrots have different tastes in music, just like people, but they all seem to hate dance music like Chemical Brothers and Prodigy.

Justice Sotomayorhas declined an emergency petition by Hobby Lobby to block the provision in the Affordable Care Act that requires employer plans to cover certain emergency contraception, like the morning after pill. The company is still able to take their lawsuit through the lower courts. This should serve as a reminder that Hobby Lobby is basically Chick-Fil-A for crafts, and you can spend your money elsewhere.
First, an announcement: These rings, and this marriage license belong to our former editors Michael Jensen and Brent Hartinger, who made it legal in Washington state this past Saturday. I want to wish them the absolute best in their marriage. It's been a long time coming.

Sometimes, you watch something and it just feels right. Operation Christmas Drop is an annual tradition, bringing much needed supplies to isolated islands in Micronesia. This is the way that the United States should be projecting strength around the world.
Google in real life. Honestly, I almost never have to invoke advanced search to find what I'm looking for.
There's a new trailer out for Spartacus: War of the Damned, and it promised all the manflesh and bloody kills you could possibly need. But does it give us the gay sex we've been wanting? Previous seasons have skimped on the graphic nature of the gay sex compared to the straight world, but at least it was there. Will they fulfill their promise in their final season? Only time will tell.

Teen Wolf has begun filming, which means Twin Alphas, makeup, costumes, and Sterek. I know that Tyler Posey and Dylan O'Brien are best friends in real life, but does that mean that Tyler has to stand between Dylan and Tyler Hoechlin all the time? And what did Hoechlin throw at Dylan's butt?
