The good news is that my recap is done / “I wish instead of being this show, this show was a re-run of Friends”

Six people were killed today and 11 wounded at an event this morning in Arizona for Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, including Giffords. The gunman, 22-year-old Jared Laughner, has authored some really troubling online rants.

How much do you care about the New York gubernatorial race? Well good, because Carl Paladino DOESN’T CARE ABOUT YOU EITHER, you gay lesbian homo gayface lesbosaur. Really, though, he clearly doesn’t.

We’d recommend you honeymoon in Honolulu and not Jackson Hole, because if you go to Jackson Hole you might magically lose all of your rights as a homo if this bill passes and we hope it doesn’t!

I read an article about “how as the web flourishes, gay groups watch enrollments dwindle,” had some feelings on it, and was interested in sharing them with you in hopes that you will share your feelings with me.

The fight for gay marriage in New Jersey is faltering. GLAAD issues their statement on the Glambert stuff: “It is disappointing that ‘Good Morning America’ did not give Adam Lambert the opportunity to tailor his performance to their audience.” And straight people wanna commitment ceremony each other too!

Kristanna Loken’s broken up with her boy and has a new girl — guess that’s why we kept seeing her out at lesbian WeHo hotspots! The New York Times ponders Ellen’s influence on the marriage equality struggle, John Mayer loves gay clubs, LiLo wants Gaga and “Cracks” looks good!

Autostraddle will be “live-blogging” election happenings coming in from Maine (voting on Question 1, could reverse law permitting same-sex marriage) and Washington (voting on Referendum 71 which would permit “everything but” marriage for Washington same-sex couples). And you know, whatever else happens. Hopefully no-one will get hurt this time.

The Catholic Archdiocese in Washington, D.C., threw a Hail Mary and threatened to stop their charitable programs if the city council passes a same-sex marriage bill. DADT might get repealed in 2010. And Eastwick was canceled, but there might be some hope for its return!

Surprise! An extremist right-wing group is trying to strong-arm Jerry Brown and Arnold Schwarzenegger into defending Prop 8! But nobody has stronger arms than Arnold, don’t they know that? Also: international gay news including gay adoption in Australia and your Gay Republicans update.

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!

Midterm elections are coming up! Aren’t you so excited? There’s a lot of people excited/not excited about Proposition 19 in California, it would legalize marijuana, wanna hear about it ok.

Like Target and Dominoes before it, Chik-Fil-A is the next corporate chain on the chopping block for supporting anti-gay groups.

Be the change you want to see in the world, Perez Hilton.

You know what they say, if you give a mouse a cookie the Republicans will fight to keep oppressive legislation until someone pries it from their cold dead hands!

Did you hear the one about the [homophobic politician] and their gay [daughter/sister/brother/friend]? So did we, and you know, it’s really not funny anymore.

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!

Kelly McGillis marries her partner in New Jersey, Lindsay Lohan may be on her way back to jail, movie trailer for Single White Female redeux – stalker lesbians and all, Tegan & Sara’s Complete Recollection, Fiona Apple finally releasing new album in 2011, Gleeks, Adam Lambert gets a weak apology and Gwyneth Paltrow on Glee.
