L Word Pillow Fight!

Monday, July 31st, 2006

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 […]

Katie Halper Looks at the M Word

Monday, July 31st, 2006

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: […]

Gay Bashing Coincidence?

Monday, July 31st, 2006

Shakespeare’s Sister has an excellent post up about a recent, and largely unreported, trio of gay-bashing incidents in California and Maine. Her questions: At what point does this become an “epidemic?” And, better yet, when do we start blaming it on the rhetorical Republican gay-bashing that appears every year come election time? (Via Crooks and […]

Ann Coulter Just Can’t Help It

Friday, July 28th, 2006

Much as we’re loath to write about the lady again, we were amazed by the follow-up to her “Clinton is gay” theory. This time, she showed up on Chris Matthews’ Hardball where he asked her about her recent on-air ramblings on human sexuality. Before she repeated her claims about the ex-prez, she joked, “I don’t […]

What’s the Matter with Kansas?

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

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 […]

Ann Coulter Thinks Bill Clinton’s Gay

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

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, […]

Washington State Says No

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

The news on the marriage front: the Washington state supreme court upheld the state’s same-sex marriage ban this morning, essentially tossing the hot potato back to the legislature like New York’s court did. The long-awaited decision was another big blow to the forces of matrimony. At least the gays still have New Jersey to pin […]
