We’re getting fancy this year with our Calendar Girls, where we bring you monthly behind-the-scenes videos and photos. This month it’s all about Luna and Michelle! See what March is all about. Cause it’s fuckin’ hot.

Los Angeles’ lesbian party of awesomeness, PYT Productions, is having it’s one year anniversary party tonight in West Hollywood and it’s definitely something to celebrate.

When I hear the words “Civil Union” or “Domestic Partnership,” I think “inequality” and “separate but equal.”

We have already told you this week what kind of legwarmers to wear and what it means to put bacon on a cat. We cannot also tell you whether the girl at the checkout desk at the library is a lesbian. Don’t give up hope, though; maybe someone else can!

Valentines Day is lame, but these cute (AND GAY!) cards from Susanne Fox at FoxDesignBrooklyn (via Etsy) save the day.

Lady Gaga had a DADT rally today. She did research and wrote a speech and on a scale of one to bajillion, it was pretty f*cking awesome. I feel like she’s going to be remembered for this. Imagine all the people living life in peace, y’all. [Now with a photo gallery of the speech/rally]

After a long wait at the edge of your seats, Autostraddle t-shirts are finally here! BUY THEM!
