Remember the Idaho man who wanted his local library to remove its copy of The Joy of Gay Sex? Well the library consented only to moving any sexually explicit books to higher shelves, which apparently wasn’t enough for the book crusader because he went and checked out the sole copy of Gay Sex and is […]

BookScan is reporting that despite all her best efforts, Mary Cheney’s tell-all memoir Now It’s My Turn has sold less than 6,000 copies, which considering her $1 million advance is pretty bad. Maybe she should’ve told more.

A Macy’s store in downtown Boston had put up a special Gay Pride window display. No Victoria’s Secret diorama for them—in fact it was pretty tame as displays go, featuring two strapping male mannequins (one of whom wore a rainbow flag wrapped around his waist) next to a listing of Boston Pride events. Well, an […]

City Council Speaker and open lesbo Christine Quinn gets a power profile in this week’s issue of New York magazine. She talks about gay marriage, the time she was “inned” during a council race, and her expanding political ambitions. Also mentioned: That she, her girlfriend, and her very own police security detail recently made an […]

There’s always time to pander. With the country going to hell in a handbasket, Congress will take time this week to vote on a constitutional marriage amendment. It will not pass, but it will help remind the conservative base that the Republicans are the only thing holding back the homosexual menace at a time when […]

The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and two reproductive rights groups just released their rankings of the best and worst states for gay and reproductive rights. Not surprising, we guess, that the two often go hand-in-hand. Also not surprising: New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut were among the most liberal states. New Mexico actually […]

Can’t think of a gay angle to this at all, but just to update you on the state of the nation, the Dept. of Homeland Security announced 2006 security grants. The news for New York? After promising that greater shares of the money would go to high-risk areas, they turned around and slashed funding for […]

This time, the lesbian actually got to wear her tux. Taleisha Badgett escorted her girlfriend to the senior dance in Gary, Indiana (check out their awesome couple photo here), and later stood up to defend the rights of fellow student Kevin Logan, who tried to wear women’s clothes, but was denied entry. Badgett told the […]

The law is no more, but we’re appalled that it passed in the first place. In 2004, the state legislature passed the Adoption Invalidation Law, which allowed the state to refuse to recognize any two-parent adoption by a same-sex couple from another state. In other words, a gay couple could’ve adopted their kid in one […]

The political blogs were lighting up over yesterday’s shouting match between Sens. Specter and Feingold as the Judiciary Committee met—in secret—to approve a proposed constitutional amendment banning gay marriage for a full Senate vote in June. DailyKos has up an official statement from Feingold who decries the secrecy in which the committee approved the amendment […]
