Broadsheet links to an excellent interview with Sam Beaumont, an Oklahoma rancher who lost his home after his partner of 24 years, Earl Meadows died in 2000. Beaumont was featured in the documentary Tying the Knot: He waged a 5-year court battle with some of Meadows’ cousins who sued for the property, even though Meadows […]

Queerty has up a link to this Campari commercial that’s a finalist for a 2005 Epica Award. Watch it and see if you can guess where it’s going. Definitely not your daddy’s Campari ad.

We caught the Tribeca Film Festival’s outdoor screening of Nine to Five last night, and we’re currently crushing hard on Lily, Dolly, and Jane. So we count it as fate then that today we read Metro Weekly’s interview with Tomlin, who’ll be costarring in Robert Altman’s Prairie Home Companion this summer. In addition to revealing […]

AfterEllen points us to a TV Guide report that Marlee Matlin will be joined the L Word cast next season for 11 episodes. She’ll play an artist who’s got the hots for Bette. Good for the L Word, but is it good for Marlee? The lady does have an Oscar, after all.

We haven’t been this excited about The View, well, ever—news leaked that Rosie O’Donnell will be replacing Meredith Viera when Viera moves over to the Today show in September.

The conservative lobbying group, the Illinois Family Institute, has been racing through its petition drive to get an anti-gay marriage amendment on the state ballot in November. Why the rush, especially considering that Illinois already has a law defining marriage as boy-girl thing? The Chicago Tribune blog raises an intriguing point: what if all […]

We completely forgot about the L Word online fanisode contest. [Ed.: Probably because we didn’t care.] So we were surprised to hear that they’ve already crowned the grand-prize winner: Jan Naugle, an aspiring novelist from Colorado. Sounds like the alternate-universe plot has some additional lesbians named Cari and Sam, and more details on Dana, who’s […]

Remember the Soulforce riders? Those passel of gay college kids who are bus-ing around the country to military academies, religious colleges, and other places not homo-friendly? Well, in addition to the odd arrest for trespassing, they’ve also been collecting some fans. They stopped at West Point yesterday (where they were promptly arrested), but Ex-Gay Watch […]
