In today’s news, Washington, D.C., may soon legalize gay marriage. DADT is sinking faster than Riese, Alex, and Jess’s hurricane-bound lesbian cruise ship! Unfortunately, The Man is still lurking around high schools, keeping girls from dancing together.
Nicole Kidman and Gwyneth Paltrow will play a couple in “The Danish Girl.” The New York governor is pushing for a vote on same-sex marriage today. And a new survey of troops says support for DADT is on the decline.
Apple/tech/design nerds rejoice! Someone has graciously uploaded a segment of Gary Hustwit’s (Helvetica) new doc Objectified. Which segment? Apple Chief Designer (and total dreamboat, which coming from me is really saying something) Jonathan Ive talking about Apple industrial design. Totally awesome.
Someone left a voicemail threatening to shoot a former anti-gay leader in Maine. The House health care bill actually includes several benefits for the gay community. Plus, Ellen graces the cover of O magazine.
My mother does not allow our family to go to Walmart because she’s a hippie. That doesn’t stop this website from being both absolutely disgusting and hilarious.
Maine is over me. But I just can’t get over Maine. Welcome to the first “Riese’s Pieces” column, where I turn feelings into sentences and hopefully, sometimes, actual points.
The Democratic Health Care Package narrowly passed the House last night. Plus, Lady Gaga shares her feelings, Michael Jackson is doing pretty well considering, Adam Lambert makes a new friend, Judge Judy rips Michael Lohan a new one, Jon Stewart does an amazing Glen Beck, and now you can know how Facebook knows you’re gay.
Do you love British humour as much as I do? How about cuddly, openly gay Englishmen?
[P.S. – This sketch is older than most of Autostraddle’s Intern Army.]
Hey are you here to see the lesbians get naked and have sex with topless hula girls or fulfill your same-sex fantasy before settling down? Me too … or am I? Also; hot fight girls, how to finger, BDSM 101, good dyke porn, clit safety and more!
Our third Autostraddle Behind the Scenes video live from Los Angeles, in which Riese, Alex, Brooke and friends have great ideas!

The defeat of same-sex marriage in Maine may lead New Hampshire voters to overturn their own gay marriage laws, Maine makes nation take stock of strategy. I wish Google News had a “good news” filter. In lieu of that, I also have a funny Onion video about Glenn Beck and photos of hot girls!
Don’t worry, someone is going to look at your genes and figure out why you’re so freaking gay, and then they’re gonna get you a hot girlfriend! Also the debate over marriage (for straight people, obvs), eco-friendly transition towns, and a lack of female writers on the best books list. Yes, it’s a big day in the world of ideas..
Our weekly tribute to how funny and smart all you commenters are! (Except the anti-equality gang from Election Day, no treats for you, go eat some shellfish.)
Hey anyone want a little girl-on-girl culture … in your pants? Well you’re not gonna get any if you don’t have your pants on. That’s one of many tips KC Danger would like to share with you — how to hit on chicks and get girls to go on dates with you or maybe one day have dinner, eat pizza, meet your mom, and have bang bang bang.
Kristen Stewart’s latest quote heard ’round the interwebs, Lindsay Lohan’s Dad’s latest nonsense, plus Beth Ditto, Obama’s new arts council, Jane Lynch on NPR, Jennifer Beals’ new gig, Natalie Portman’s lesbian sex scene and Kathy Griffin’s latest antic!
A new study reveals that gay families, just like the cute boys on the television show Modern Family, are just like straight families! Eeek! Also, a bra to fix your imaginary problems, gays kicked out of cab for hugging, Judy Blume’s sex lessons, and the lesbian gamer wedding.
Spinner.com invited Autostraddle to hang out at the Tegan & Sara takeover in Los Angeles, where intrepid sweaty-palmed awestruck reporter Karmen reports on the moments in between the songs when we see the real girls we love so much.
Why is Lohan’s Dad still considered a reliable witness? Lindsay is sad and needs a hug from Autostraddle. Also Shannyn & Lambert are in the same room, our heads explode, Sesame Street’s anniversary, Gossip Girl controversy, Lady Gaga’s new clothing line and an interview with Sarah Haskins!
Maine voted to strike down gay marriage tonight with 53% voting Yes on Question 1, which is depressing. Good news for the gays in Washington, North Carolina and Michigan, however!
