Freja Beha Erichsen Covers Vogue UK, Is Gay, Doesn’t Mention It But That’s OK
THIS IS A FREJA BEHA POST. Jezebel thinks she’s gay and British Vogue is afraid of it; we think maybe it’s okay for interviews to sometimes be about other things sometimes. Also, science has now found the exact opposite of the Westboro Baptist Church, and it is the San Diego Comic Con. Thank you for all the inventive and refreshing signs, comic-con goers! Also, Marisa Meltzer wants to know where the Darias are at, transgender protections for housing in the US, more recognition of GLBTQ people in rural Ireland, and Thomas Beattie’s third child!

Also, lesbians makes great parents–holla, Vikki!, Janelle Monae’s airtime could be suffering from racial taste segregation, Deborah Rhode wants to protect all you shawties (and baldies and spotties), and Sarah Palmer talks about cows and gender.

UPDATE: Country Music Singer Coming Out in Curve. Could Be Chely Wright. Or Not.
Curve Magazine says a country music singer will come out on the cover of their June issue. The Examiner says that it’s Chely Wright coming out in Curve. Curve says The Examiner is just speculating. Our money’s on Oprah.
Chely Wright: ‘Magical’ to be First Lesbian Country Artist, Also BTW She’s Cute!
