Apple introduces the iPhone 4, or should we say “re-introduces,” the iPhone 4. Meet the newest iPhone, its solid feature set and see just how shiny it is. But is shiny enough? Should it be? And oh yeah, Jane Lynch pops up to mock Apple and allude to a sex dungeon of some kind. Count me in.
There are a lot of numbers in here but they’re all important, so get out your calculator and let’s do this. Statistics indicate that Iowans want to have a referendum on gay marriage, but also maybe that they don’t care that much, and Tea Partiers still hate us. The directors of GetEQUAL are making more than anyone you know, we don’t know anything about Elena Kagan still, Gawker might want to check out an AP stylebook, we might be one step closer to finding Lisa Miller and her daughter, and happy tales of reunited gays in love!

And thank god for Jon Stewart for bringing the lulz and the awesome social commentary & Barack Obama for tweeting his love for gays this month.
Chely Wright ignited a media frenzy when she came out last month, but lesbians have had an out country/rock star to call their own for years — Jennifer Corday.
