Essence’s first lesbian wedding! Early returns from DADT Survey have good news! And Stephen Colbert faces his fears, which include the editor of OUT Magazine, Feministing interviews Rachel Maddow and Winston is a snail for Halloween. Also, moar, with a special appearance by Anderson Cooper and the Jersey Shore (not together).

13-year-old Asher Brown was bullied for being gay. Last week he decided he just couldn’t take it anymore.

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.

Google has just made an announcement that they’ll step in where the federal government has left us out in the cold: they’ll begin compensating gay and lesbian employees with domestic partners for the extra taxes they pay that straight married employees don’t. We tell you what it all means, why, if you dare to trust it [we’re not sure we do], Google [might] save the [gay] world.

American Apparel doesn’t want you to know they use models, interview with feminist author or wearing heels, Olympian speed skater Blake Skjellerup comes out, Facebook’s privacy settings are screwing you, gay softball team in San Francisco is suing, and more. Problems with pink culture, Muslims in Latin America, turning a self-loathing gay boy self-loving, and more effing research about hooking up [only this time, they’re not slut-shaming anybody].

It’s a new dawn & a new day for feminism on the internet, and a lot of ladies have said a lot of things about it and even if nobody won The Daily Show/Olivia Munn/#yallarejustjealous cyber-wars, some of those things are really important things! Also, Jezebel is taking over the internet if that’s ok with you.

Constance McMillen, the lesbian who wanted to bring her girlfriend to prom, has switched schools to avoid bullying. Harvey Milk Day won’t be celebrated by the teenagers who need it most because of homophobic Prop-8-supporting school administrators! Awesome! Also, gay unions legalized in Portugal, more feelings on Elena Kagan, Montgomery College will have an African-American lesbian president, Christian charities are maybe kind of allowed to legally discrimate sort of, and Jezebel wants to talk to you about women’s colleges.

Sara Isaacson came to school on her ROTC scholarship before she realized she was a lesbian. But coming out has cost her $80,000 — ROTC wants her money back. In 2002, the same thing happened to a girl that I once knew — who I learned today is still fighting against DADT in unexpected ways. A look at how much things have changed, and how much they have stayed the same. Also, do your hobbies make you gay, a good day to love gay men, and meet Chris Pureka!

Meet the women “saving” the UK’s pubs and the woman banned from all of them and also; your friends, your womanhood and your education are making you drunk! The New York City LGBT Community Center’s rainbow flag was burned, countering the truth on anti-bullying day, Funky Brown Chick loves FourSquare and there’s still time to be queer & buy queer!

While we keep losing on the gay marriage front, it’s getting easier for gay people to get elected. Dead magazines, dead feminism (again, this time it’s Hilary’s fault), Living NYE Parties, Judge Judy, sex tapes, trending topics, the end of time, trans inclusion in feminism, queer lounge, 2009 WERE YOU LISTENING?

The University of Oregon in Eugene is one of this country’s most gay-friendly campuses, but this weekend vandals hit their LGBTQA office with swastikas. This comes amid growing controversy over The Pacifica Forum, a SPLC-labeled white nationalist “hate group,” holding its meetings on campus. We speak the University’s LGBTQA center volunteer coordinator about campus climate in the wake of the vandalism, and how she hopes this tragedy will provide an opportunity for the student body to open dialogue and inspire change.

Closeted gays play basketball, lesbians play softball, gay boys rank each other on websites that get startup funds (bah!), Constance McMillen has her day in court and the school officials whipped out some doozies, a good lesbian suit is hard to find, Elisabeth Hasslebeck and Whoopi fight about health care, also wait ’til you see these portraits of soldiers affected by Don’t Ask Don’t Tell!

Rather than allow a lesbian to bring her girlfriend to prom and wear a tux, the school has canceled prom altogether! FANTASTIC. Also; the cute video of the kid finding out about gay people, the death of coffee shops, gays and the census, Bill O’Reily defends lesbian couple’s child and the national equality riders are coming soon to an oppressive campus near you.

The Superbowl’s ad spots are in hot contention — and the recent acceptance of an anti-abortion ad and rejection of a gay dating ad have inspired a lot of controversy. But is the “true story” featured in the abortion ad even true? And is the gay dating ad company being honest about their motives too?

We’re on the fence about the eharmony lawsuit — who needs compatibility testing when you can have craigslist or any of the 500 lesbian “dating sites” sure to spam this post?!! A school gets rid of dictionaries, Jezebel has fun with Vogue, Katie Wudel can’t smell, gay cartoonists get the last laugh, and abstinence-only still doesn’t work.

Details celebrates the joys of “dating a hasbian” by interviewing a bunch of guys and mentioning Anne Heche. Also; gays & lezzies smoke way more than everyone else, hookup culture, Dear Abby, more from V’s size issue, why women love Law & Order (Mariska?) and reasons to hate Oprah.

Thanksgiving brings you lesbians fisiting turkeys and by that we mean a family movie for family time, as well as the horror and the spectacle of young Christian Evangelical Rappers in bloom. Also; bad photoshopping blames economy, getting out of thanksgiving, an Academic History of Thanksgiving, Femme Invisibility and a map of your discontent!

New York Magazine devotes a print issue to the titilating Sex Diaries, Geocities calls it quits (save ur Neve Campbell fansite asap!) and the ex-gay people want their books to be in libraries, which is fine if they’re OK with it being right next to And Tango Makes Three.

Tegan & Sara’s new album artwork and track listing, in London, Power Lesbians are all the rage and Details magazine looks into the gay gangsters of BASH BACK!
