The L Word Online has up a screen shot of the August Details magazine spread with Leisha Hailey, Sarah Shahi, Kate Moennig, Mia Kirshner, and Erin Daniels. In it, the ladies jump on a bed, attack each other with feather pillows, and squeal while clad in skimpy nightwear. Hot, right? There’s also a funny video […]

Our loyal correspondent, Katie Halper, on the front lines of the culture wars.
The tragic congressional defeat of the bill meant to defend the family, i.e. amend the constitution to ban gay marriage, makes me think of one of my favorite people ever. Mary Cheney. Mary just “came out” with her memoirs, Now It’s My Turn: […]

Shakespeare’s Sister has an excellent post up about a recent, and largely unreported, trio of gay-bashing incidents in California and Maine.

Before she repeated her claims about the ex-prez, she joked, “I don’t […]

Oh, let us count the ways. Queerty links to a story from Meade, Kansas about a straight couple, J.R. and Robin Knight, who run a bed and breakfast and recently started flying a rainbow flag outside their home. That was all it took for the local gentry to hit the roof: a radio station pulled […]

Why? Because he’s slept with a lot of women. Now, we generally try to pay as little attention to Coulter as possible, but this one was just too damn good. Wonkette had advance notice about Coulter’s appearance on Donny Deutsch’s CNBC talk show last night. Apparently Deutsch, likely sensing some juicy lunacy from his guest, […]

An FOH let us know about a new Queer-aoke party at Planet Rose (219 Ave. A b/t 13th and 14th) tonight. Sing to your little heart’s content. And better yet, if you mention Hothouse tonight, you get a free shot of your choice. What are you waiting for! Go sing dammit!
