The Insurance Company Profit Protection Act of 2009: After seing how easily they tossed women under the bus in the house, I'm convinced none of the overtly gay friendly amendments will make it through the senate anyway; so I'm not sure how much the terminology even matters.
Levi: Blah blah blah history of Playgirl…Where's the beef already? But hey, custody battle, nice. Keep that going through 2012. That should make a nice distraction for Scarah…
HRC townhalls: That would, at the very least, be good for a laugh.
Kris Allen & Adam Lambert: I'll be buying both albums.
That guy from Glee: If he doesn't want to talk about it, he doesn't want to talk about it. Plenty of straight actors don't discuss their private lives, this really isn't any different.
"Are gay marriage opponents in Maine receiving death threats from radical activists?"
Promises, promises. Anyone smart enough to carry it out wouldn't leave a potential victim voice mail.
The death threat was prolly staged. Have some bigots dress up in rainbow or something and threaten people. Wouldn't put it past the right.
The story about NYC homeless is touching and informative.
Note that it's a Fox affiliate making a production out of the death threats. Says it all right there that it's a bunch of crap.
Death threats from activists? Sounds like the crazies from Dallas.
@5 Romeo:
This was from a Fox station owned by a company called Max Media. It is not owned by the network, and not affiliated with Fox News. Get your facts straight:

Death threats? Oh noes! /sarcasm
Well, now they've got some idea of how *we* feel.
Gorbeh, I agree with that, its all staged by fake LGBT people. Goes to show how sick and demented these NOM people are. Totally irrational. Its one of the oldest tricks in the book.
Only yesterday, Sean Hannity of Fox News used footage from a September tea bagger demonstration organized by arch homophobe Glen Beck to bolster right wing psycho talker homophobe Michelle Bachman's demo in Washington, last weekend, giving the impression that it was far bigger than people thought. It was noted that the September demo displayed very green trees, while this past saturday's demo displayed the identical footage. How could trees be vivid green in November?
The gaydar needs an adjustment. Not surprisingly, Queerty is mum on the recent Rolling Stone interview published this week with Lambert.
The Rolling Stone interview in which Lambert doses out a testosterone filled good old fashioned bitch slap to Gene Simmons for once more rudely homophobing about Lambert's sexuality and professional choices during a recent Howard Stern appearance.
Or was Lambert's statement just too hetero and not fitting the narrative Queerty choses to portray?
Yeah, Queerty. Adam called Gene a "dick" (finally !). That should rate thread here.
Good for Adam! That scumbug Simmons has thrown insults his was a few times, including equating his gayness to bestiality. I'm surprised Adam kept his cool for so long.
