Remember how Elena Kagan was confirmed as the third woman currently on the Supreme Court? I know, it’s been easy to forget about. Maybe she can still save the day for women as far as SCOTUS is concerned, though, just by checking “female” on her tax forms!
We’re watching the Emmys because of peer pressure. Everyone else is doing it.
The Pentagon has agreed to meet with a group of partners of gay servicemembers and discuss the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell repeal in addition to listening to the opinions of straight soldiers’ partners. One small step for mankind, amirite? (amirite?) Furthermore, Ken Mehlman being gay is NBD ’cause apparently the GOP doesn’t care about same-sex marriage anymore anyhow? Also the (conservative) guys raising money for our rights have historically raised money for anti-gay candidates. Oh yeah and Roger Ebert loves gay people.
Can you argue right? We have twelve rules that say you can. No biting!
We’re just looking for a chance to use the term “bossy bottom,” although we didn’t necessarily find it. Also, a video of cute girls dancing in their underwear.
How has the coming out of former Bush campaign manager Ken Mehlman rocked your world? Or, uh, has it not? Also, a meta-discussion of Judge Walker’s sexual orientation, terrible/TERRIBLE videos on DADT, a new book on conservative vs. liberal families, and a titillatingly bizarre gay espionage murder.
Why Katy Perry and Taylor Swift’s new music videos aren’t “opposites,” or: “Just When You Thought We Were Done Talking About Taylor Swift and Feminism.”
Get off the fence, your bisexual open thread is here! Research shows it ain’t just a phase and you are not alone. Let’s all be together. Just try not to cheat on me with a dude while I go get you a sandwich.
Bret Easton Ellis, Ira Glass, Tao Lin and Lydia Davis would like to have a word with you.
More comment awards full of love and hilarity. And dirty, dirty bisexuals.
Why is everyone being mean to bisexuals on the internet? Is this about Lindsay Lohan getting out of rehab somehow?
You probably don’t read enough poetry and you would probably be smarter if you did.
Last Thursday, Cee-Lo Green (one half of Gnarls Barkley) debuted “F**k You” from his upcoming album, ‘The Lady Killer.’ The song has now racked up almost 2.5 million views, with even 50 Cent contributing a freestyle remix. Is this latecomer the song of the summer or is it over-hyped?
Prominent Republican official and former George W. Bush campaign manager Ken Mehlman has come out as gay, saying that “It’s taken me 43 years to become comfortable with this part of my life… It’s something I wish I had done years ago.”
Slate does an all-access, totally non-exclusive interview with Kanye West, the would-be king of hip-hop.
Lady Gaga is serious about this Jo Calderone thing: she’s even giving interviews as her male alter-ego! New photos and more info on Jo, which reminds us of Joan of Arc and Jo March.
Lucas from the Cliks and Kiyomi from Hunter Valentine take some time out from their US ‘Guts ‘N Glory’ tour to interview each other for Autostraddle. The result is so adorable it hurts.
Do you have a girlfriend? That’s fine. I also have a girlfriend. But I think you’re cute, and you think I’m cute, and let’s not waste all this cuteness and attraction just because we both have girlfriends. I’m sorry, did that come off a little harsh? It wasn’t supposed to. It’s just what a conversation might sound like in a world where monogamy wasn’t the norm. Contrary to popular belief, monogamy and fidelity are not one in the same. Take it from two lesbians – real lesbians – who have both been in serious relationships, both open and exclusive, and are still trying to figure out what exactly that means.
New Kate Moennig photoshoot, the trailer for Jennifer Beals’ upcoming indie film, A Night for Dying Tigers, Lady Gaga is the Queen of Twitter, Michelle Rodriguez is tired of the butch mystique, and True Blood is REALLY gay.
Hey are you a girl who likes girls? Do you want those girls to come over and maybe spend the night? Here’s 8 things ANYONE can do to increase their chances of getting some lesbian love!
