Autostraddle Roundtable: So … Prop 8 Was Upheld. What Do We Do Now?

Sunday Funday: Tinkerbell Will Come Out on the Cover of DogFancy, Papa, Paparazzi

“In this world, denying gayness is not keeping your private life private. It is, essentially, accepting either 1) Straightness (e.g., John Travolta) or 2) An obvious and compromising closeted lifestyle (e.g., Queen Latifah). In Adam’s case, that’d be lying, and lying is bad. But he hasn’t lied. So yes, it is relevant.”

Autostraddle Roundtable: I’d Rather Laugh With the Sinners than Cry With the Saints

“It took me a very long time to come to terms with what I felt for girls. Not because of my own religion, but because of the religion and judgment of others, and because growing up in such a small town greatly limits what you see as viable options for yourself.”
