There were millions of people at Rio de Janeiro's gay parade this week.
The Pin-Up Girls do burlesque for the LGBT crowd. We just want to know their tour dates and that is all:
[The Girls embrace] all different types of women. Girl on girl action,
these girls make a big splash in the LGBT community. In other words,
after a performance, there is not a dry seat in the house. [Lez Get Real]
The Connecticut Supreme Court's decision to legalize gay marriage pointed out the absurdity of gay marriage opponents arguing against the institution of marriage:
The majority opinion summarized their argument this way: "[T]hey
asserted that the plaintiffs had failed to demonstrate that they have
suffered any harm as a result of the statutory bar against same sex
marriage because, under the civil union law, gay persons are entitled
to all of the rights that married couples enjoy." Logic like this puts
gay marriage opponents in the odd position of devaluing the institution
of marriage. Marriage, they end up arguing, is nothing so special that
it can't be replicated by a parallel institution--in this case, civil
unions. Yet the entire point of creating civil unions is to preserve
what is allegedly special about the institution of marriage. There is a
pretty blatant contradiction here. [The New Republic]
Gawker wants to know if "fauxmosexuals" are ruining it for gay people? We don't have an answer for them, although we were glad to see someone else point out that Katy Perry stole her song from Jill Sobule's "I Kissed A Girl."
It's important to remember that, even after our victories in the courts, the scum are meanwhile redoubling their efforts. According to a variety of sources, "family"/morals groups have claimed victory in their boycott over the supposedly "pro-gay" McDonald's.
Keep up the good fight...
