Meet Mitchell and Jack. They used to date, but they’re no longer together, and they’re dealing with the breakup in strikingly different ways. Jack’s a little more, shall we say, self-destructive, while Mitchell’s a bit more self-deprecating. Follow them through the six episodes of “The Outs” (so far the first two are up online) as they try and make their way post-split. It’s hard not to see parallels with that other show about hip twentysomethings living in Brooklyn, “Girls,” but somehow these guys have a bit more humanity and heart.

Madonna Owes Everything To The Gay Community

Julie GersteinNovember 10, 2010 //

“I know a number of people have spoken out about it but I feel like I need to say something. The gay community has been incredibly supportive of me. I wouldn’t have a career if it weren’t for the gay community. …I have a teenage daughter and I have ongoing discussions with her about this topic so I feel like I need to say a few words.”

—Madonna takes on gay bullying, and the recent spate of gay teen suicides, during her appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” [Dlisted] Keep reading »

Julie GersteinOctober 13, 2010 //

Gay Couples To Get Visitation Rights At Most Hospitals

Jessica WakemanApril 16, 2010 //

I’m not going to lie, this story makes my eyes tear up. In 2007, Lisa Pond, of Florida, collapsed from a brain aneurysm and a few hours later at the hospital, she died alone, without her kids or the person she’d spent the last 18 years of her life with. Lisa Pond died this way because she was a lesbian.

Yesterday, President Obama called Pond’s former partner, Janice Langbehn, to inform her that he mandated all hospitals that receive Medicare and Medicaid funding — which are most in the country — must extend visitation rights to same-sex couples. This mandate, which should go into effect in a few months, will allow a gay or lesbian partner to not only make medical decisions for their ill or injured loved one, but also to be there during the last moments of their life. In the past, LGBT partners who are not legally married have been refused by hospitals’ “relatives-only” policies. Keep reading »

Girl On Girl: Dating Women Makes Me Sympathize With Men

Nikki DowlingFebruary 11, 2010 //

Dear men everywhere,

I know in the past we’ve had our fair share of arguments, disagreements and maybe even a few bloody battles. I’ve probably called you all misogynists a few too many times and I know I often say things are easier for you than they are for the ladies. Sorry. I know it isn’t your fault that men tend to make more than women. And you, personally, are not responsible for the obsession with size 0 gals nor is it your fault that we’ve never had a chick president. I’ll admit: I hate on you guys a lot for no reason at all.

But, recently, I’ve come to appreciate you fellas and your trials and tribulations a whole lot more. Now, I know what you’re thinking. You think this is all tongue-in-cheek. You think I’m putting up a front, making fun of you. But seriously, man, I get it now. And what, you ask, has opened my eyes to all your pain and suffering?

Cover Your Eyes, Children! This Armani Exchange Ad Is Gay!

Jessica WakemanFebruary 11, 2010 //

OK, these models in Armani Exchange‘s “Share The Love” campaign probably aren’t gay. They are just kissing each other in front of a camera because they’re getting paid thousands of dollars to do so. But that doesn’t make a difference to the angry, angry parent group OneMillionMoms.com, who have issued an “action alert” against these filthy “same-sex couples.” Or, as they prefer to spell it, “same-s*x couples.”

Read all about Armani Exchange’s mind-poisoning ad campaign after the jump … and think of the children! Keep reading »

Anne Hathaway Left The Catholic Church For Her Gay Brother

Jessica WakemanFebruary 9, 2010 //

Anne Hathaway isn’t just a talented actress; she also sticks up for her fam “Sopranos”-style. The actress opened up to British GQ about how she and her family left the Catholic Church because the religion did not embrace her older brother, Michael, who is gay. “The whole family converted to Episcopalianism after my elder brother came out,” Hathaway told the mag. “Why should I support an organization that has a limited view of my beloved brother?”

Now that’s loyalty! Considering most actresses in Hollywood get their asses kissed if they, like, pose for photos at a charity event, it’s heartwarming to see someone actually take a stand for something important, you know? [NYMag.com] Keep reading »

“Family” Group Uses Scary Pic To Frighten Floridians From Lesbian Adoption

Jessica WakemanFebruary 8, 2010 //

Gay-bashing can be tough work: just look at the trouble that the Florida Family Policy Council of Orlando, Florida, ran into while protesting a Miami judge’s decision to grant a lesbian couple the right to adopt a 1-year-old boy. Lesbians Vanessa Alenier and Melanie Leon (photo at right) have cared for the boy, the child of one of Alenier’s relatives, since he’d been removed from his birth parents by child welfare. And last month, Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Maria Sampedro-Iglesia ruled that a Florida state law banning the gay couple from adoption the boy was “unconstitutional,” effectively awarding them custody.

Judge Sampedro-Iglesia’s decision did not sit well with the scaremongers — they got right to work lambasting her “arrogant judicial activism” in an email alert. Unfortunately, the lesbian adoptee moms were far too femme, smiley and “straight”-looking to scare the bejeezus out of homophobes. So the FFPC (which is affiliated with Focus on the Family) did some creative illustration and cooked up a faux-lesbian duo of butch women who “look” a lot more like stereotypical lesbians (see photo left) to presumably scare everyone away from gay adoption. Because, you know, butch lesbians can’t be good parents!
