Last week we shared with you the story of Matt McCrea and Steven White (above), a couple kicked out of the back of a cab after sharing an innocent “peck.” When asked why he ejected the couple, the cantankerous cabbie claimed they were “making sex.” The police found no evidence to suggest that, relegating the [...]
Could Michele Bachmann’s Successor Be Even Worse?
Now that Michele Bachmann is heading for the door, the scramble is among her would-be replacements. And the first hat into the ring belongs to a man who might out-Bachmann Bachmann in his homophobia: Tom Emmer Emmer has a long and distinguished (if that’s the word) record of antigay activity. A belts-and-suspenders kind of guy, [...]

Former “Glee” Star’s Mother Pleas For Daughter To “Change” Her Sexuality
Former Glee star Charice Pempengco is back in the news this week, not for that amazing voice that captivated us in her primetime debut last year, but for her mother’s not-so-amazing voice spewing anti-gay hate about her newly out daughter.

Finally, there is a group of people publicly admitting that nobody watched (or watches…is it still on?) BBC’s Downton Abbey.

No longer will you ever have to feel left [...]
LOOK: Ian Ziering Makes His Chippendales Debut
Over the weekend, the former 90210 star finally made his Chippendales debut. “It’s a sexy, sensual show, and the girls do go wild,” Ian told the Las Vegas Sun of his new show. “It’s not a salacious, scandalous, back-alley production.” It was first announced a few months ago that Ian Ziering would join the scantily-clad [...]

PHOTOS: Adrienne Maloof And Robbie Rogers Are Total BFFs At LA Pride

Ciara Deflects Legal Shade While Getting Served Lawsuit During L.A. Pride Performance
There are certain people you don’t try and shade. R&B divas top that list. There aren’t enough trees in the rainforest and so it’s not going to end well — as evinced by Ciara. While turning it on stage during Los Angeles Pride this weekend, some crafty sonnuva process server tried to gift the Princess [...]
WATCH: “Where The Bears Are” Gets The Season 2 Party Started
Today is Judy Garland’s birthday so why not celebrate it the way She intended — with some dirty jokes and cheap puns made by a bunch of beefy, hairy dudes. Funny story: that’s how Liza was conceived. Season two of Where the Bears Are premieres today with quite the splash. In “Party Bears”, a mysterious [...]
WATCH: Prop. 8 Ruling is Just Days Away
Well, this morning we finally got the Supreme Court decision we’ve all been waiting for: in Horne v. United States, the court ruled that “the AMAA provides a comprehensive remedial scheme that withdraws Tucker Act jurisdiction over takings claims brought by raisin handlers.” What’s that? You were waiting for a ruling on Prop. 8 and DOMA? [...]
PHOTO: Supermodel Bar Refaeli Stands Up For Transgender Rights…At A Urinal
Arizona may have taken a proverbial dump on civil rights with its discriminatory anti-trans bathroom law, but Bar Refaeli is happy that transgender people can pee freely in her native Israel.

Former Gay Porn Star Johnny Hazzard: “I Still Can’t Totally Explain Why I Survived”
Does too much sex kill? Well, not directly, but the rash of deaths within the gay porn world seems to suggest otherwise. Some were health-related, while others were undisputedly self-inflicted. But sadly, they are gone. They were big players in the scene, and they were my friends. Being a recognizable face in this industry, many [...]
WATCH: “Mom & Mom” Not A Family According To Children’s Museum
A Florida mom claims she and her partner were denied the family membership rate to a children’s museum that does not recognize same-sex families.

Cyndi Lauper And “Kinky Boots” Sashayed Away With The 2013 Tony Awards

WATCH: Neil Patrick Harris’ Epic Opening Number From The 67th Annual Tony Awards
For his fourth stint as host of the Tony wards — a role he seems destined to have for life now that fellow musical theater queen Hugh Jackman has moved on to greener, golder pastures — Neil Patrick Harris pulled out all the stops…and Mike Tyson. Still, we felt the Oscars were a touch gayer.
PHOTOS: Interracial Couples Celebrate LA Pride
Mildred and Richard Loving, 1967/Wikipedia It’s hard to believe, but it was around 1992 before a majority of Americans supported interracial marriage. That’s crazy! Also crazy: kids who were born in 1992 are turning 21 this year, which means they’re just hitting the world of adult dating. Raised in a climate of tolerance and approval, [...]
