Remember that time that post took forever and then we made that other post that was really awesome and you were like whatever. Yeah well WHATEVER

A bunch of people who hate gay people are really upset that the GOP has gay people just like everything else in the world.

Kurt is mad as hell about getting gay bullied all the time and he’s not gonna take it anymore. Luckily that cute boy from Hogwarts shows up and we all learn a lot of lessons, like “always say yes to the wind machine.”

Who thinks homosexuality is like alcoholism? Which queers are running for office in California? What the hell are the midterm elections anyhow? Why do the Republicans think they have this one in the bag? The answers to all these questions and more in Autostraddle’s official guide to the 2010 Midterm Elections.

Glee takes on Rocky Horror, and all the weirdos & freaks lose their shit. Don’t worry, they did it justice!

I want to be best friends with the person who runs thisanimalisawesome.tumblr.com. Or at least meet them. I bet they’re pretty awesome.

Do you like Rachel? Do you like The Awl? Great, so do we.

U.S. Senators have begun to respond to the recent rash of bullying-related suicides in the LGBT community, and gender identity made it into the first draft of the bills. Color us shocked, but proud.

Butch Voices is this super awesome conference happening in LA this weekend, and Autostraddle thinks you should go. It’s all about unifying and discussing all the various rainbow of butch identities. Plus, there will be some super awesome people there. Seriously. Go.

It’s Don’t Ask Don’t Tell vote day! Finally! Come watch with us, and then we can laugh, cry, yell, drink, or all of the above together after the Senate votes.

The recent discovery of Mitrice Richardson’s body finally put an end to the speculation about her whereabouts – but there are still important questions that need to be asked about how she disappeared in the first place.

Do you know how to make Justin Bieber sound good? If you answered “turn up the volume,” that is incorrect. The right answer is: slow down his songs 800%.

11. Are You There, Marriage? It’s Me, Disenfranchised Gay Person

California gay couples can now get married starting on August 18! Walker denied the (permanent) stay of his decision in the Prop 8 trial.

Katherine Miller sent a letter to her commanding officers, announcing her withdrawal from West Point because of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. She’ll be attending Yale with an LGBT scholarship in the fall.

Personally, I feel that protesters are a barometer for how fun something will be, and Sunday did not disappoint. So many bands! Hockey, MGMT, The National, Arcade Fire, Mumford & Sons, and the Temper Trap TWICE!

Trapped inside living vicariously through your fun-having, summer-loving, concert-going friends? Perfect! Insatiable and Fearless Music Aficionado Sarah is back with another dispatch from Lollapalooza, which is probably a lot more fun than whatever you’re doing right now.

Lollapalooza opened the first night with Lady Gaga, who got misunderstood at Lolla 2007 and was back to show she can really shake ‘em down, with DJ Lady Starlight. Also, The Black Keys!

Kagan will be the fourth female justice on the court.

Judge Walker will announce his decision this afternoon, so check back with us! Also, Prop 8 supporters are already trying to prevent even the chance of gays getting married, should Vaughn overrule Prop 8.

Sarah’s going to Lollapalooza to continue Autostraddle’s brilliant summer music festival coverage. Check out this preview; the action starts Friday!

New analysis of the Proposition 8 vote from 2008 shows that the ridiculous Yes On 8 TV ads had more of an effect than anyone first thought. And the results weren’t as close as it appeared, either. We’ve got a lot more work to do.

A student at Augusta State University has sued the school because it has allegedly asked her to alter her Christian beliefs (i.e., not advocate gay conversion therapy) before allowing her to graduate from its counseling program.

Target recently donated $150,000 to a group that supports anti-gay Republican Tom Emmer. Vote with your dollars, sign change.org’s petition, or both!

Lt. Dan Choi got the news today that he has been officially honorably discharged from the US military under Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. Next stop? “I haven’t done a lot to hold my parents’ hands through all of this. My inclination right now is to go home.”
