In which a queer political scientist who knows what she’s talking about breaks it all down for you: The Obama administration said they wouldn’t defend DOMA. Now they are actively challenging DOMA. This is good news.

House messes with DADT. Obama fights back. Did you know that Obama officially “supports DOMA’s repeal?” ‘Cause he does. Bam.

Like losing the Snitch. The polygamous Snitch.”

The American Family Association is being such a stage mom to Jesus and was boycotting the Gap for not using the word “Christmas” — we’ll tell you why that boycott is now on hold. Also, it’s boom time for unpaid interns, is Glee anti-Christian?, Sarah Palin gets PUNK’D, JCrew is weird and Australian senator compares homosexuality to incest. Again. Sigh.
