We present this post in part because we couldn’t resist the joke in the headline, and in part because we at Hothouse are slightly befuddled by the persistance of the whole lesbian/golf thing. Nonetheless, in a new take on the sue-for-something-to-set-a-precedent-for-marriage-rights lawsuits, a lesbian is suing a San Diego golf club for the right to […]

There’s a lesbian romantic comedy at the Angelika that got a guardedly positive review in the Times. What could it mean? The film, Saving Face, follows a young Chinese-American surgeon who juggles her traditionally-minded family in Queens, her pregnant mother, and her dancer-girlfriend. Directed by openly-gay first-timer Alice Wu, Saving Face had […]

Read comedian Claudia Cogan’s excellent Dallas-esque idea for L Word’s Season 3 redemption.
Sure, it’s not The L Word (though, as we’ve seen, even The L Word isn’t The L Word), but Showtime’s Queer As Folk is wheezing into its final season. This Sunday at 10pm, that busy blogger Rosie O’Donnell makes the first of […]

Hothouse was saddened by the passing of film producer Ismail Merchant this week. Partnered with director James Ivory, he produced such high-brow period classics as A Room With a View, Howards End, and The Remains of the Day. You’d have to read the NY Times obituary pretty closely though if you wanted to […]

Is the short-hand for the primal-liberal worldview a lesbian wedding on the Left Coast? The LA Times seems to think so. Yesterday the paper’s editorial page wrote:
Where did The Times’ editorial page get the idea that winning the war on terrorism depends on persuading societies that breed terrorists that they should like us […]

We saw these shots of Pink kissing a ladyfriend (finally! evidence!) on Pink is the New Blog, but we didn’t like his commentary covering the pictures, so we went and found them ourselves. We also enjoyed the Mexican photo agency’s caption: “Pink se besa con su novia,” which roughly translates to: “Pink is totally freaking […]

The conservative American Family Association announced that it was ending its 9-year boycott of the Walt Disney Company over what it deemed the company’s pro-gay agenda. Now explain something: If a boycott falls in the forest and no one’s there to see it, does it make a sound?
The AFA, by the way, is […]

The next governator? New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer encouraged the gay community to keep fighting for gay marriage. The likely Democratic candidation for governor in 2006, Spitzer told the audience at the Empire State Pride Agenda dinner in Rochester, NY, that politicians move slowly, and “Only when you lead and block for […]

From Contactmusic.com comes word that Eminem’s new video “Ass Like That” will be as tasteful and restrained as the song’s title. The rapper’s lyrics offer icky rhapsodies to Elton John and Gwen Stefani among others, and at one point Em offers a visual that will surely move the hearts of straight and gay pervs […]
