When Judge Phillips ruled Don’t Ask Don’t Tell unconstitutional, she issued an injunction so that no more soldiers could be discharged until the case was resolved. It would have been relatively simple for Obama and the Department of Justice to let the injunction stand and let the issue rest. HEY, GUESS WHAT THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ISN’T DOING.

Last night Lady Gaga wore a dress made out of meat, and won eight MTV Video Music Awards. Also, Taylor Swift wrote in her diary about Kanye West, and then sang it out loud to a crowd of humans.

This excerpt announces new efforts from strange people to repeal Prop 8 for everyone except like 4 people, make homosexuality illegal in Montana, and vote in favor of DADT.

Who thinks homosexuality is like alcoholism? Which queers are running for office in California? What the hell are the midterm elections anyhow? Why do the Republicans think they have this one in the bag? The answers to all these questions and more in Autostraddle’s official guide to the 2010 Midterm Elections.

Lesbians of the world, I love you. I love you for the women you are and the pop stars you look up to. I love you. Listen to me.

Life changes, people grow up, and sometimes magazines catch up with Tegan & Sara and then fold. Here’s 10 magazines we miss like runaway puppies.

It’s three days until you can get legally married in California, so you had better get all your feelings about the bourgeois upper-middle class heteronormative paradigm out now, before they have to come out in couples therapy later on. While you’re here you can check out an infographic on Lady Gaga, find out which person you have possibly heard of came out this week, mourn the passing of Portland’s only lesbian bar, and celebrate BABIES with NEIL PATRICK HARRIS.

Lady Gaga is on the cover of Vanity Fair, we’ve got the best bits (about sex, xanax, and why she hates LA!). Also; Lohan gets out of jail, more on Skins US’ lesbian character and Brittania fans may see a kiss in the next season of GLEE.

Are you ready to get this Prop 8 thing taken care of once and for all? SO ARE WE. We recap today’s closing arguments on the Prop 8 trial on gay marriage in California, with characteristic Autostraddle style and class.

Lindsay Lohan began her sentence today and so we’re putting a moratorium on Lindsay Lohan stories for the time being, cool? Mean Girls quotes = still allowed. Also: Kate Moennig guest starring in Dexter, Kathy Griffin vs. Elisabeth Hasselbeck round 2, Courtney Love’s fashion blog, La Roux, Weeds and more.

The beating of a gay man in Georgia gave us some feelings about Don’t Ask Don’t Tell and pervasive homophobia in the military. Plus, gay men still can’t give blood, the 16-year-old sailor has been found, culture wars are here to stay, and a lesbian cop is suing the NYPD for sexual harrassment.

Lady Gaga talked to Larry King and it was kinda awkward, kinda fun. Plus, Racialicious takes on SATC2, Marie Claire France has women with real curves, Charlotte Church lost her husband over a gay smooch, and Tila Tequila is even worse at life than usual.

Basically everyone we ever talk about is in this post. Lindsay Lohan’s new role & good behavior, Santana on the future of Brittana, Gaga does Alejandro on American Idol, Kristen Stewart defends her reputation for not giving a shit, Queen Latifah is writing a girl power scripted show for VH1, James Franco skirts the gay issue, new trailer for Machete starring Lindsay Lohan & Michelle Rodriguez, Ellen apologizes for offending the iPhone, and new PSA for Prop 8 Films.

Lady Gaga and a special lady are on a boat, making out! We have mixed feelings which we share. Another tabloid says even more offensive things about Shiloh’s kickass tomboy wardrobe! Behind the scenes with Lindsay Lohan and Indrani, Grey’s Anatomy ends with a lesbian makeout bang, Law & Order marathon, Ask Ro & Osbornes lead LA Pride.

It’s been a week since we first weighed in on “Who’s coming out May 5th in People Magazine?” and now basically the entire internet has an opinion on Who Will Be America’s Next Top Gay or Lesbian Superstar. If you wanna win the coming out office pool, put your money where ours is — on a country music singer hitting the road with tears, lies and alibis.

Chely Wright was interviewed last week on Ellen, gets teary, talks about Ellen’s Mom, and we take a look at why Ellen’s show has been so important for out celebs, and why Ellen, like Oprah, succeeds because of her “outsider” status, not in spite of it. Everyone is having a fabulous time this Sunday Funday! Librarians are covering Lady Gaga songs while she’s hanging around British pubs, Neil Patrick Harris is surprising his boyfriend with awesome parties, a brief gay pride parade happens successfully in Moscow, the “first modern lesbian” will get her time in the spotlight, and Gawker would like to talk to you about prescription medication.

New information in the Cheyenne Williams case (maybe), and shocking violence in Edmonton. Gay and bisexual politicians abound, and the petition on Ref. 71 is finally going to court. Also, a defense of the Boy Scouts, and an investigation of the gay dollar.

Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Lynn Michaels announce their separation after 2 children and nearly 9 years together. The lesbian universe weeps another loss.

Today Obama did another thing for gay people, and we can hear the icicles of our soul slowly melting. Which got me thinking about relationships — are we in an emotionally manipulative short-term on-and-off relationship with Obama, or is he in fact being a better man?

Does Lindsay Lohan have a new girlfriend? 36-year-old photographer Indrani — a Princeton graduate, photographer and upcoming co-star of Bravo TV show “Exposure” — has reportedly been going on dates with LiLo, being a good influence oh and also discussing art and the meaning of life. This would put Lindsay Lohan on the short-list of bisexual Hollywood starlets who have publicly dated more than one woman.
