Ron Livingston — or as I know him, Sex and the City‘s card-collecting-nice guy Jack Berger — is suing because someone called him gay. Livingston is upset because of a “malicious” rumor is being perpetuated on his Wikipedia’s page. The rumor — that Livingston is in a long term relationship with a man named Lee Dennison. Even [...]

These videos just kill me. Senator Liz Krueger holds back tears. “I think it’s easy [to vote yes] because I’m a woman, and I’m a jew, so I know about discrimination.” Senator Ruth Hassell-Thompson shares the struggles of her gay brother. Ruth connects her vote to her conviction in the right to choice. “You cannot [...]
Palin Loves the Meat
Posted in Politics, Women, tagged Obama, Palin on 4 December 2009 | 2 Comments »
Sarah Palin claims that it’s a fair to question Obama’s nationality, and she believes the public is rightfully making it an issue. Okay granted I believe we should check that our politicians meet the criteria to be our representatives – but Obama has disclosed his birth certificate and is in fact American. So let’s move [...]

I love Christine Quinn, and this breaks my heart. Quinn is currently the Speaker of the New York City Council – and is one of the most powerful women in NYC. She’s the woman who boycotted the city’s Saint Patrick’s Day parade because gays can’t march and told Columbia University to withdraw it’s invitation to [...]
Marriage Vote in New York

This senator has become the darling of the NY marriage vote. I love when she calls out wedding shows, the princess complex, and the ridiculousness of the Bachelor. Throughout all this discussion on marriage in New York, all I can think about is Cynthia Nixon. Nixon was engaged to her partner and planned to get [...]
Marriage in D.C. – Not N.Y.C.

Let the Protests and Celebrations Begin! Yesterday, D.C. voted to allow gay marriage in the capitol – there still needs to be one more vote, but it is pretty much a done deal! Sadly today, New York failed to obtain the votes to obtain marriage equality. It’s bittersweet – for sure. N.Y. Governor David Paterson [...]
