Anti-Gay Christian Conservatives Are The New George W. Bush: HILARIOUS!

This week we learn that sometimes, things on the Internet that are too funny to be true aren’t actually true. We will survive this. Also, good gay advice columns, nebulous news on Beth Ditto and Nicki Minaj, and also good news for people who aren’t Brits but want to be and are also persecuted for their homosexuality!

Female Friends Forever: Looking at Adrienne Rich’s Lesbian Continuum, 30 Years Later

“If we strip lesbian feminism down to its core – to its advocacy of women-oriented female spaces, women-identified women, and an appreciation of the inequalities and violences that still permeate the heterosexual institution – we might find a lot of things worth keeping around.”

It’s Hard Out Here For A Lesbian In College, So Lay Off The ‘Ethical’ Advice

Some advice columnist told a Cornell student that she’s obligated to come out to her sorority sisters because it’s “unethical” to make them “uncomfortable.” We think maybe this “advice columnist” should find a “new job.”

Lesbians ‘Reflect Changes in China’ by Kissing ‘Romantically,’ Sporting ‘Boyish Fashions’

In China, “transformative change” is observed when two teenage girls, one with a “masculine hairstyle,” kissed on the subway “in an unmistakably romantic way.” Meanwhile in the US, someone’s son wants to wear a dress, someone else’s son comes out every day and pro-gay-bullying organization feels bullied. Kids these days!
