Daily Link Fix 3.9.09 – Living in a Material World

  • Steven Waldman thinks our best option for gay marriage rights is to strike a deal with religious conservatives. (@beliefnet)
  • Yeah, I’m linking to Glamour. Here’s why: rather than posing its movie-star models as dying waifish fawns, Glamour’s “American Icons” features Hayden Panettiere as Amelia Earhart, Alexis Blendel as Rosie the Riveter, Alicia Keys as Michelle Obama, America Ferrera as Dolores Huerta … throw in a little Madonna [Lindsay Lohan, left] and Carrie Bradshaw and … it’s kinda ridiculously hot. (@glamour)
  • Japhy Grant asks “With Gay Rights in the National Crosshairs, What Makes New England So Friendly?” (@queerty)
