Between the boy scout, high waists, and stereotypical French striped sweater with a matching spiked leather belt, it's no wonder this fashion show looks like it took place in a living room. Meatloaf and pineapple upside down cake to follow? Or just a nice tossed salad?

I'd like to seen an Andrew Christian parody.

In my Frontiers story on President Obama's profile-in-courage announcement that he supports marriage equality, I mention and quote attorney Evan Wolfson, founder of Freedom to Marry, who's been advocating for marriage rights for same sex couples since the early 1990s, often against a tide of naysayers. Yesterday, Wolfson was honored with the Medal of Distinction by Barnard College, along with President Barack Obama. This morning Wolfson told me, via email, what the experience was like:

It was such a joyous day - looking out over these inspiring Barnard women, being presented the Medal of Distinction by a civil rights champion like Judge Judith Kaye who spoke generously of my work and how far we've come, sharing the Medal with President Obama the very week he embraced the freedom to marry, and then hearing the waves of cheers and applause first for the freedom to marry and then as the President followed by invoking the arc "from Seneca Falls to Selma to Stonewall" as a call to further action - and happily, my parents, my sister, my brothers, and my husband were all there to share the big day with me. Truly the honor of a lifetime.

If I were a gambling man, I’d have made that bet with confidence that by the end of the day I’d have an extra $5 in my pocket. In fact, I was so sure of it that I almost made that bet, though I would have taken no pleasure in winning. Of course, I now know I would have lost. But it’s a bet I would have been happy to lose.

In these ads from MTV, we see angelic flaccid cocks doing angel like things - like playing harps, and chess, and watching broadcast television (no sex AND no cable?!). What might they be discussing, watching, or playing? Let me know in the comments - as well as your thoughts on their safer sex effectiveness.

This minister has decided to support the "Dump Starbucks" campaign and has made a video showing his support. Best line: "I'm going to pour it into the sewer here. By the way, you can hear a lot of fluid running. It sounds like a lot of people have been dumping their Starbucks over the last couple days." Because, you know, sewers are usually bone dry with no running "fluids" at all. (Hat tip to Good As You for the video)

She was 25 and curvaceous, and she often drew admiring glances in the gritty Brooklyn neighborhood where she was known to invite men for visits to her apartment, her neighbors and the authorities said.

Curvaceous? Gritty neighborhood? Inviting men for visits? She is dead, for God's sake, a young woman burned to death in a suspicious fire. Ah, but this is a transgender young woman of color, and the headline screams "Woman In Group Of Transgender Performers Dies On Brooklyn Fire."

At least they acknowledged that her gender identity was that of "woman." So then why these quotes?

"Called Lorena, she brought two men to her apartment..."

"According to neighbors, she was born male..."

"For a man, he was gorgeous..."

"Ms. Escalera had worked as an escort and that he regularly saw her advertising her service on an adult Web site..."

"Still, she was a nice person."

"A debris pile outside the apartment, which is above a funeral home, contained many colorful items. Among them were wigs, women's shoes, coins from around the world, makeup, hair spray, handbags, a shopping bag from Spandex House, a red feather boa and a pamphlet on how to quit smoking."

"Human interest," you say? A journalist merely reporting what was said, you say?

I think not. This story is shot through with transphobia. The issue has been raised with the New York Times by a number of journalists and GLAAD. The Times acknowledged a deficit in their "choice of words, but refused to make any corrections to the article, or indicate that their journalists will be given any information or training on how to report such stories, and their further response is in the title to this article: "That will be all there is from us."

But that is not all there will be from us. There is a petition to sign at the end of this post.

-- From the National Organization for Marriage's blog shortly after a bomb threat against a "national gay organization" forced several DC orgs to evacuate their offices. Notice how the statement is both classy -and- tacitly continues their meme that we're a violent community that regularly threatens Christians.

Watch in amazement as South Carolina teenager Noah Guthrie performs his utterly unique cover of LMFAO's "Sexy And I Know It." This has to be one of the best covers you will ever hear. Someone get this kid on a reality TV show soon so we can all go out and buy his album!

Gawker quips "After some tinkering and some fiddling it suddenly dawned on him to try and add the one thing the song truly lacked: Listenability. Once he put that missing piece in place, everything else quickly came together."

I'm not ashamed to admit I've listened to it at least a dozen times today. I like his version better than the original.

Is anyone surprised that the area the park is in is a GOP stronghold?

President Obama delivered a stirring commencement address at the private, all-women's Barnard College in New York, Monday. (Excerpts below; click here for the complete transcript.) He spoke lovingly about the powerful women who've influenced his life and dispensed three pieces of advice: fight for a seat at the head of the table; never underestimate the power of your example; and persevere. But when he told the story of former California State Sen. Hilda Solis, now Secretary of Labor, a flashing neon light went off in my brain: the same message applies to LGBT people.

It's time to appoint an LGBT Cabinet member! Think what that would mean to an LGBT kid? Here's what President Obama said - do you see the same flashing message?

No one was hurt in the scare and no bombs were found.

Since we've moved to DC, this is the second time that LGBT orgs have been evacuated due to a threatened bombing.

Matthew Epler has created just the thing for you - butt plugs fashioned from the poll numbers of the Republican Primary Season - as if it wasn't kinky enough.

He writes:

In an age of information, we rely on hard facts. Each of the shapes you see here come directly from poll data collected by Gallup. This data reects approval ratings for each GOP candidate among registered Republican voters from December 10, 2011 to April 1, 2012.
Each shape's girth is a reflection of popularity while their height is a reflection of time.

The contours of these delightful shapes conjure up the waves of amber grain and those lapping at the rim of our great nation spanning from sea to shining sea. As the battle for the Presidency rails on, we must remember that Americans may may have achieved freedom through war, but they are also a people of love. After all, in the end all we have is each other.

Are you brave enough for a Romney, or a timid Bachmann? I'll assume Santorum comes pre-lubed. Check out the video after the jump to find out how it was made.

Since my fellow late twenty-something friend sent me this video yesterday, the song will not leave my head. A Yahoo!'s SketchY Parody of Fun.'s oh so addictive "We Are Young," "We're Not Young," tells the story of some thirty-somethings and the woe that is adulthood. I'll have to say, it has killed the joy I found in the original.

I recently worked the Fun. show at the 9:30 Club and it was my second time seeing them. Did I look ridiculous rocking out to this song assuming they were talking about me? Maybe the fact that Glee covered the song should have told me something.

Either way, my joy has been killed and the lyrics forever perverted in my mind.

If you haven't seen the original, watch it first. Catch them both after the jump.

Feel free to comfort me in the comments.

According to CNN, the president truly believes that marriage equality makes stronger families. President Obama said:

"I want everyone treated fairly in this country. We have never gone wrong when we've extended rights and responsibilities to everybody. That doesn't weaken families, that strengthens families."

Ricky Martin was the host of this fundraiser and was in awe of the President's words and stance.

"We admire his courage, like the courage he showed last week in affirming his belief in marriage equality. That is the kind of courage we expect from our president and that is why we support him."

In step with his campaign promises, the president plans take down one of the most divisive and damning laws toward the gay community.

Last December, I popped an Ambien before bed - a normal occurrence when I'm hypomanic or can't sleep. While I sleep in the nude, I woke up on the couch wearing one of my smallest pairs of underwear and tennis shoes. I'd made myself a little bed on the couch - complete with a blanket and pillow.

Laying on the table beside the couch was a half eaten 3 Musketeers candy bar that wasn't in our apartment when we'd gone to bed. I don't really like that candy and would never pick it as a treat.

It was a particularly cold night that evening, so I've always wondered what I must have looked like trudging along in a pair of skivvies and tennis shoes to pick up a candy bar. The closest spot to get a late night munchie is about four blocks away. And where did I put my wallet and keys so I could buy the treat and get back in the apartment?

Have you ever sleepwalked? What did you do? Does it happen regularly? I'm fascinated (and a little scared it will happen again!).

Openly gay Colorado House Minority Leader Mark Ferrandino reacts after the Republican Speaker of the House used procedural moves to kill a civil unions bill. While the legislation had passed the state senate, had enough votes to pass through the house, and the governor had called a special session just to pass the bill, Republicans used it as a political football. The deciding vote in the "Speakers Kill Committee" was cast by Republican Rep. Don Coram - who has a gay son. That's right, he voted against his own family.

Chappell will make her B&B debut as Danielle, domestic partner to recurring character Karen Spencer. Danielle and Karen's daughter, Caroline, is currently involved in an "alleged" love triangle with Thomas Forrester and his uncle, Rick Forrester.

In an interesting twist, today we learned that the actress portraying Karen Spencer, Joanna Johnson, is a lesbian. She's married and has two children. She is also apparently "lesbian pals" with Melissa Etheridge and Ellen DeGeneres.

According to court documents, Delay told mall security officers that he recognized 17-year-old Darnell "Dynasty" Young from news coverage of his story and tried to talk to Young about it. He said Young got in his face and that he pushed Young.

But Young and Donald Richardson, a janitor who witnessed the incident, told police that when Young walked past Delay's table in the food court, Delay told Young to get away from him and used homophobic slurs. They said that Delay pushed Young and then hit him in the face, according to court documents. Richardson said he radioed for mall security, and then Delay came toward him because he was mad that Richardson had called security. Security officers arrived and detained Delay.

Delay has been charged with a misdemeanor count of battery.

Keep in mind, in Indiana the legislature has shown that it's perfectly okay for grown men to attack LGBT youth. Most politicians have also declared open warfare on gay and lesbian couples too.
