Holla, my little snowflakes!
What a week of ups and downs. Gabrielle wanted to know why “For Colored Girls” wasn’t enough for Hollywood and then congress decided to up and cut spending on Planned Parenthood. The new budget also means less to no money for NPR and PBS but we’ve got the top 10 gayest This American Life episodes anyway. On president’s day, we looked at some of the kickass first ladies and then a few days later, Obama announced his opposition to DOMA. It even looks like all the prop 8 nonsense might finally be over. Wednesday kicked of Pure Poetry Week with Def Jam, followed by Eileen Myles, Anis Mojgani, and Andrea Gibson. Riese recapped this week’s episode of Glee and Chloe told you all how to properly collide your gays and strais.
