This Sunday is extra Funday because we have VIDEOS of EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD. By which we mean Kurt and his maybe future boyfriend, sexy ninja mental asylum ladies, superawesome trans athletes, and a special surprise marine mammal. Oh also did we mention that we managed to elect 106 queers to public office? Pat yourself on the back and have a cupcake. Also Keith Olbermann is on twitter, saying things.
You guys, it’s gotten so much better. Especially for law students.
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by everything or anything: the family & friends of 26-year old Joseph Jefferson and 19-year-old Raymond Chase remember “out and proud” community leaders. Also; an update on the Terrel Williams suicide hoax some sick f*ck played on the internet.
A five-year-old boy wanted to dress like a character from Scooby Doo who happens to be a girl. Then other kids’ moms made fun of him. We’d like to take this opportunity to define a little something we call SHILOH PANIC.
How grim has the future of a DADT repeal become in the new, Republican future? Kinda grim.
This magazine is hot. Buy this magazine.
Ricky Martin gets the Oprah treatment for his new memoir, SamRon tweets about the XTina rumors, the 16th Annual Out 100 issue is upon us, and the women of SNL remind you how they make the show watchable.
Making sense of the election results the day after: how much we lost last night, what it means to have lost, and how hard we’re going to have to work to win it back.
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi sees liking girls and being gay as mutually exclusive. Also, Suze Orman says it gets better.
Prop 19 failed so that means no marijuana-induced anarchy in California! Also apparently there’s some sort of serious Republican Invasion happening, which sounds pretty wild. Christine O’Donnell lost tho!
A progressive Chicago-area synagogue, which serves gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Jews, learned that a mail bomb involved in a foiled Al-Qaeda plot was addressed to its building. Although the bomb was never intended to reach the synagogue, we still have questions. Was this meant to be a general message of hatred for a religion, one specifically targeted to the LGBTQ folks and their allies, or just a general “fuck you” to all of humanity?
We’re doing things one day at a time now and this was a pretty good day as far as they go. A megachurch pastor has come out so that his story can save lives, educators in Britain are educating on queer heroes to end anti-queer bullying, and librarians are honoring the authors of queer books for kids.
Happy Halloweenday Funday It’s Sunday The Funnest Day. Are you dressed up right now. Are you wearing lingerie with mouse ears. I dunno I heard that was a thing. Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert’s Rally To Restore Sanity: it happened! Also there’s a new James Franco interview and Kurt is gonna get a gay boy kiss!
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.
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).
An Arkansas school board member responded to a call to fight homophobic bullying with, surprise, homophobic bullying. Good thing he resigned last night? Sort of. And while we’re on topic; apologies for comparing gay marriage to marrying tables/dogs and predicting homo-apocalypse.
I know this is supposed to be about Obama and civil rights and his sit-down with lefty bloggers and the gay issues he wasn’t interested in supporting at the time and also his Daily Show appearance, but it’s really about me. Because isn’t everything.
How far is our group from that fever pitch of anger and refusal to wait any longer that brings things –and people like Dan Choi — to a boil? It’s the most painful point of all. But also, potentially, the most sad and the most powerful. A look at Dan Choi’s Village Voice cover story, “Bad Lieutenant.”
Obama stops by a DADT Meeting but he didn’t bring me a pony or a repeal but maybe we will get the repeal for Christmas? Also; Rachel Maddow chases down Joe Miller to talk about DOMA, gay partners get deported, Omaha votes against civil rights
Our boyfriend is finally releasing new music in December. Plus, he’s all grown up with his very own E! True Hollywood Story.
