It’s SUNDAY FUNDAY! Now that you’re over the whole Ellen Page thing (JK, probably nobody is even reading the Internet anymore because all they can find are stories about Ellen Page and they don’t mind but are just a little tired), here’s some other good news to slap your adorable LGBT face with.
Women Destroying Your Bullshit

Googoosh Loves Gay People

Thank You For Being A Friend
Edith Windsor’s got a friend in Barack Obama, who is seemingly the tallest man alive in this new photo of him with the “accidental activist” herself.
“When the Court handed down its decision last June, President Obama called Edie from Air Force One to congratulate her on her victory,” wrote senior Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett on the White House blog today. “And earlier this week, the President invited Edie to the France State Dinner and the Oval Office to thank her in person. … The thanks expressed by the President that day have been echoed by millions of Americans, including thousands of legally married couples who can now live their lives with greater justice and dignity — thanks to heroes like Edie Windsor who have been willing to stand up and fight for equality under the law.”

Yee Haw: Marriage Equality Roundup
+ Marriage equality has been demanded by a federal judge in Virginia, but marriages can’t actually happen yet. That’s not enough to stop some lesbians, though.
+ Missouri’s Governor is totally over the state ban on gay marriage.
+ WHAT EVER WILL THE ANTI-GAY LOBBY DO NOW THAT MARRIAGE EQUALITY IS SPREADING LIKE WILDFIRE? Best of all, does anyone give a shit?
Some Bunny Loves You
That photo of Obama and Edith Windsor looks so unreal. It looks like he’d be 50% taller than her if he stood up and his feet look 4x as big as hers. Is it really just a crazy perspective and not photoshopped?
If you look at his feet, he’s a solid six inches in front of her. They’re actually not facing each other at all– she’s looking well to his left. I think it’s just a trick of perspective, and not 50 Foot Tall President Destroys New Jersey.
It must be perspective, if only because why in the world would someone bother to photoshop him into gianthood?
the googoosh video is amazing. also i’m pretty sure it was filmed in Berlin and the main actress is a quite successful german actress I’ve seen before. I will google the shit out of it asap
When darkness falls somewhere in the world (Uganda), a light flickers on elsewhere (though obviously this wasn’t filmed in Iran).
The bill actually didn’t get signed, much to my relief. Museveni sent it back to Parliament for rewriting, although his commentary wasn’t particularly enlightened, but it’s a respite.
Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I love Soviet propaganda artwork, so that Buzzfeed list is just the best!
