"This B+/A- list closeted television actress from a hit network drama was having drama of her own in the bathroom as her girlfriend was complaining that she felt left out and wanted to meet our actresses friends.

SOUNDBITES — "People's personal views of the appropriateness of same-sex relationships naturally influence their views of our lawsuit. However, it is important to remember that the legal question does not, and under our Constitution cannot, depend on people's personal preferences. The constitutional issue is quite simple. The Supreme Court repeatedly has held that the right to marry the person of your choice is a fundamental human right guaranteed by the equal-protection and due-process clauses of the Constitution." —Perry v Schwarzenegger attorney David Boies, who, as a Christian, disagrees that "same-sex marriages are inconsistent with religious teachings" and notes, as a lawyer, "it is irrelevant" [Philadelphia Inquirer]

After yesterday's voter-approved rape of our marriage rights in Maine, the obvious question to ask is: How'd this happen? And next: Who can we blame? It's a natural instinct. Surely there must be someone or something out there to direct our anger, our frustration, our disgust. It's the same thing that happened exactly one year ago in California, when Prop 8 took away the M-word from gays and lesbians. Fingers started pointing, and not in very nice places. Race and religion were blamed. So, too, was the "No On 8" campaign, accused of misguided direction and ineffective outreach. Now here we are in Maine, wondering aloud, "WTF?"

So: WTF? Continued »

SOUNDBITES — "There’s good news and bad news here. The good news is that even in one of the most liberal States in the Union, Maine, the people have once again rejected the ridiculous and oxymoronic notion of ‘same sex marriage.’ The momentum has again shifted – hopefully for good this time – in favor of protecting legitimate marriage. A counterfeit is a counterfeit. An orange is an orange no matter how much you want it to be a turnip. This isn’t about ‘marriage.’ It’s about hurting and broken people desperately seeking affirmation of an objectively deviant lifestyle. One that, even in their heart of hearts, they know to be a dead end. As for the militant ‘No on 1’ homosexual activists? I’m reminded of spoiled children dressing up and playing house, refusing to come in when mom calls for dinner. Continued »

THE SHOT — Supporters of "No On 1" console each other after last night's loss. Blogger Blabbeando, who was at Protect Marriage Equality's headquarters, says "for a majority of those gathered it must have come out of nowhere. For most of the night, they had been looking at incoming reports and cheering what seemed to be an early win for the 'No on 1' side. Alas, that was not to be."

Well this is a terrible way to wake up the day after Election Day. Did that really happen last night? Yes, yes it did.

So the Oscars are returning to lowest common denominator fare: With Hugh Jackman out and Neil Patrick Harris hosting every other awards show, this year's Academy Awards will be co-hosted by Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin, one of whom is still pretty funny. (Martin has hosted twice in the past decade). Whew — at least they stayed with a white guy though, right? Continued »
