    well technically the interns are part of our military intern army, which has a very strict do ask do tell policy. but the army is part of the overall team, because the team is autostraddle, which is like the country equivalent of this analogy, which is brilliant, so brilliant that i must stop right now!

      wait, are we disciplining interns over homosexual conduct? that’d be amazing.

I am really really glad you decided to go, yet sad I couldn’t but this is fan-freakin-tastic. This type of stuff is the reason I believe even bigger stuff is going to happen for you guys in the very near future.
ps- My day feels at a loss if I don’t get to check this website daily – as I learned last week on my moving day. (and that was the hot 100 day!)This is probably not healthy

Dan choi is amazing and cute as hell!
His boyfriend kind of looks like Mike Stipe but with hair!
Love the article and the video and Haviland is back, yay!
I was totally distracted by the Reverend’s teeth! He seems decent enough though!

The second preacher-man you talked to had some pretty scary lookin’ dudes around him. You girls are fearless!
I’m sure you can’t say, but I’d love to know what fake names you used.

The end of that video may have possibly made me mist up a little in my ocular region…and by “possibly” I mean “totally”.

Awesome video. His goons look scary but considering how you gals easily outwitted them, I wouldn’t lose sleep over it. I see a future career in investigative reporting.

GREAT video… i’m so happy you guys went out there. their counter-arguments were crap. “we respect the rights of gay people” but no marriage for them!!! how can they expect to win in the end when they can’t come up with one solid way that gay marriage affects them? can’t wait for them to “lose” more states!
and the second dude who just kept waving off your accusation that there were hate signs all over the place! closing your eyes and waving your arms won’t make them go away, dude!
