My south Florida neighborhood is inhabited largely by loving gay couples. My own street has five couples alone. They are lawyers, real estate agents, chefs, animal rights activists and all of them are wonderful, stable people. All of them have no rights as couples. All of them cannot adopt.

WEBSITE TO WATCH: “The goal of Real Queer Porn is to create a comprehensive online directory and history of queer porn.

Intern Lily: It is well known that Kate Gosselin of “Jon and Kate Plus 8″ fame has one of the worst haircuts on television. Her hair looks a lot like porcupine living in the hair of a middle aged lesbian circa 1994. This is why this is the most incredible thing ever. I know what I’m going to be for Halloween! (It is so popular that it is already out of stock!) (@buycostumes)
I have no comments today… so in lieu of stupid opinions I will share my favorite quote of the day! Wooh!

“I’m sexy, I’m hot. I have both a poon and a peener. Big f*cking deal” – Lady Gaga
I feel like lady gaga has had many a camel toe. That was the first thing that came to my weirdo mind when I read that story.
—–
yup.
IDK about that. But yeah she never wears pants. There would be more evidence. And then the way she dances there is no way she could keep that tucked and hidden while droppin like it’s hot.
my favorite lady gaga no-pants moment is from lovegame. because she needs a hood and sunglasses, but not pants.
when I saw her in Philly she told the audience she was going to show us her vagina………and then didn’t. So there’s that.
she actually might have, though, we were pretty short compared to the people in front of us.
the YouTube video might have some evidence
That looked like a stress ball hanging from a rear view mirror. Not real genitalia.
Does anyone else find it odd that the comment box is telling me that “intersex” isn’t a word? *SIGH*
Our society sucks.
^ Does the comment box have spell check?! I’ve been using Word to check everything… (yet still get things wrong, mind you)

-_- < that is the face of unimpressed-ness.

As far as Shark Tank…I just mindlessly watched it and all I have to say is: Would anyone really waste their money on a surgical Bluetooth insert? What is the world coming to!?
faaaa!!!! ill be soooo pissed if lady gaga has a penis. a friend thinks she looks like a dude in drag so he calls her sir lady gaga. we even place a bet on it. DID I JUST LOSE?!?! im gonna need more proof. i will be sooooooooooooo so sososososososossooooo pissed!!!
hey very good
from Lady Gaga’s twitter
“Love you Japan! Pokerface just went #1! Thanku!!. My show was so good last night. I just had to go home and suck my own hermie dick, suckka”
lmao.
if this is all just a publicity stunt for lady gaga, I will be hella pissed. last thing we need is MORE gratuitous shock-factor queer-mongering. so here’s hoping it’s not just a publicity stunt!
although, frankly, I find the whole trying-to-figure-out-if-she-really-has-a-penis thing pretty weird.
