I missed the boat, wheee, I missed the boat, whee, I missed the boat, YAH!, and I ain’t never ever ever ever doing it again.

Anti-gay parents denied right to adopt, fighting for same-sex marriages to resume in California, a lesbian got sent home from the army for being “lovestruck,” and everything else you/we missed.

In which Barack Obama declares that he officially has our backs, seemingly out of nowhere.

“Straight Couples Who Aren’t Fucking Are Appropriating Lesbian Bed Death Culture”

Straight women simply looooove asking us when we knew we were gay.

Domestic horror is gay as hell.

“Apparently I am suffering from GBICT, or Gay Blog Induced Carpal Tunnel. In an effort to relax, I turned on the teevee. I saw this terrible thing on True Life: I Hate my Small Boobs. So I had to look it up and see what the fuck was up with that girl’s Mom”

Bill Clinton, Dick Cheney, The Muppets, Typical Straight Guys, Douglas F. Gansler, public school administrators and Christine Quinn all like us — and um, Obama declares gay pride month?

Wipe away those break up tears because we’re going to show you that love is not a lie! This week we have Autostraddle editor and all around icon Heather Hogan talking about her 11 year(!!) relationship with her wife and all things long term relationships.

Your annual report on how much closer we are to finding out that everyone is gay!

As I quickly learned from the jump, when two queer Latinas are trying to get married — something that sometimes feels like is unheard of — there’ll be some bumps in the road. 

Constance McMillen is now seeking unspecified monetary damages in her case against Itawamba High School, citing public humiliation. Even worse, Westboro Baptist Church has announced they’ll be picketing her graduation to remind everyone that dykes are ‘filthy.’ Also; more on Scott Baio’s evolving lesbian rage, Gay tourism, forced gay marriage, bisexuals aren’t gay enough, Sikhism and feminism, tv bans plus size ads, and headache fun!

Constance McMillen continues to be f*cked over: her school sent her to a fake prom with “learning disabled” students. Also, employers are exploiting unpaid interns and it could be illegal. Why do gay men sometimes make fun of vaginas? Plus, it’s been a year since Iowa allowed gay marriage, Lambda Legal needs your help, and Obama may get another Supreme Court nomination.
