This week on “The Real L Word,” various lesbians sat at tables and talked to each other!

“But Democrats… have managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.”

Topics include law school, real estate, a boy who disappeared, Sothebey’s, Tetris and the TED conference!

I have more than one reference to Ellen in this post, and the person who finds them all wins a lot of time spent reading about stuff peripherally about Ellen Degeneres.

“Alternet’s B. E. Wilson researched 990 IRS tax forms and yearly reports from Invisible Children and 990s from its major donors and found deep financial ties to evangelicals and major funders of antigay organizations.”

A new anti-homophobia ad has come out in Australia and it made me tear up a little bit. Luckily, I won’t have to see anything like them in America.

Innkeepers are using their title of Boss to freely discriminate against patrons and spew hate on religious grounds. Luckily brave individuals are calling them out and you can too.

Remember that time the electricity went out and Laura couldn’t do the comment awards? Happy Friday!

If all you know about Baltimore is from The Wire, here’s a lesson in why they call this place Charm City.

In today’s edition of “I am gay and want to do things anyway,” gays are still trying to legally be in love, around the world, and state rights are still proving to be ineffective ways to govern the love lives of American gay people (ahem).

Because we said so. Let’s just take a few minutes to talk about Rick Mercer, Canada’s smartlarious teevee sensation.

What are your plans today? I’m spending the day inside cleaning and might order myself a pizza as a gift and do affirmations while eating it.
