Lady Gaga & Beyonce’s “Telephone” video premiered tonight: a recap & a roundtable of opinions from our music team. OMG JAILYARD LESBIANS

We finally wrote another roundtable, and it’s about feminism! This discussion is gonna take a while, so we’re going to start this by talking about how we first became feminists. Share your own experiences in the comments!

Blankenhorn is the other side’s Big Hope. He claims to be a liberal democrat but opposes same-sex marriage. Unfortunately, it seems the only peers who’ve ever reviewed him are the Americans For Truth About Homosexuality. NO BUT SERIOUSLY it’s really fascinating. Today’s recap = fascinating.

Gay people, especially lesbians of color like Jene Newsome, continue not asking or telling and being discharged anyways — and sidenote, Rapid City has a significant history of racial discrimination. J. Crew has discriminatory hiring practices, Elton got a death threat, gay men may or may not be able to give blood eventually, New Hampshire is standing for marriage equality, and the Paycheck Fairness may be able to make a difference for working women and their families. Also, Jon Stewart explains it all for you.

Awww Johnny Weir! The judges may hate you cause you’re flamboyant but that’s why we love you.
Also; is the world ready for same-sex Olympic figure skating, hurdles facing LGBT Americans of color, an Oklahoma student wants his license plate to read IMGAY, and Rachel Maddow will deliver the commencement address at Smith and the lesbians go wild.

Day Three of the Prop 8 Trial recap, in which the other side wants to talk about how gay men sleep around, schools teach children how to be gay, and that because we have Will & Grace, we don’t need equal rights. What they don’t know is that Will & Grace has been off the air for a few years. The plot thickens…

Another day, another round of depressing but also inspiring testimony. We discuss: the Catholic church’s stance on gays, how conversion therapy doesn’t really work, how gays have almost no political representation, and the Mormons! Get ready!

I DO NOT THINK THIS COULD GET ANY CRAZIER. Seriously, I thought I knew how crazy the other side was, BUT I DID NOT KNOW HOW CRAZY THE OTHER SIDE WAS.

A day of many feelings. We laughed, we cried, we asked “is this really happening?” incredulously, and the world spun madly on. Welcome to Day Five of the Prop 8 Same-Sex Marriage Trial Recap: Judgment DAZE.

It’s Episode 404 of Skins, when Katie mixes a heavy dose of kickass with a little portion of feelings feelings feelings. How’d Naomi and Emily end up in the swimming pool? Let’s recap.

We recap Episode 405: Effy, in which Freddie and Effy take a little mania along with their love, and Katie F*cking Fitch wears a sexy angel outfit.

More up-to-the-minute Dinah debauchery updated constantly! We ran out of room or something in the old post and had to start a new one!

“I Want the World to Know” invites YOU to share your own coming out story with the goal of humanizing the gay rights movement and diminishing homophobia. Jess sits down with Becca Katz, the filmmaker and activist who created the site that gives everyone a voice and opportunity to share their story.

This week’s Technostraddle Open Thread answers some burning questions you guys had last time around. Mainly as they pertain to Batman and Superman, really. Because maybe I got a little carried away.

It’s DADT News, and we’ve got good news and bad news. Dan Choi has been called back to active duty! Yes, really! Autostraddle catches up with DADT discharge Lissa Young for her reaction to last week’s hearing (“exhilarating and infuriating.”) Study shows black women disproportionately discharged under DADT (and the affects of all anti-gay laws hit the black community harder). Also; Iowans and New Jersey on gay marriage actions/reactions, Rhode Island’s gay marriage bill and more on Judge Walker.

It’s the very last day! And Blackenhorn continues to dig his own grave; defending polygamy and generally being a petulant h8er: “I feel like there must be some secret clause in legal proceedings that when someone says something this f*cking stupid, they automatically forfeit the case for their team. Like losing the Snitch. The polygamous Snitch.”

The Mayor stands up for the gays (and his daughter Lisa!), and Lee Badgett testified on how much better the world and our pocketbooks would be with marriage. With jokes! You guys it’s gonna be their turn soon then we might just die. Welcome to our recap.

Anti-gays blame “Gay Infatuation Syndrome” for the headlines spun on lesbian parenting research, but we know otherwise and Mombian breaks it down for you. Also; everyone thinks my girlfriend is a Sir, Catholic attitudes on gays, gossip columnist comes out, Caster Semenya notes on a scandal and Adelaide’s first gay cruise!

“Midlife lesbians” are apparently having a heyday — again! Queer activists are forcing Eminem to hate gay people a little less than he did before, Angelina kind of sort of maybe might have an open relationship, queer girls in sports lost a great advocate, and the state of religion in America. Also, pictures of Lady Gaga!

Breaking down the Taylor Swift win and the Lady Gaga loss, with a Special Comment from Superfan Alex. Also; trouble for Naomi & Emily on this week’s Skins, the girl who plays Effy wishes she got to be gay too, a woman wins a directing award for the first time ever, and Tila Tequila quits twitter! For real!
