We probably won't be sending out any Valentines today, but if we were to participate in this wretched day of love, we'd probably send cheeky cards like the selection Johnny Wacker shared with us. Our personal favorite? The one that reads, quite simply, "Fuck you" - it gets straight to the point.

Who doesn't love Amanda Lepore? Well, okay, there's that HRC member who didn't appreciate her behavior at the group's NYC gala last weekend, but we think the majority of queers appreciate the legendary scenester's perspective, beauty and, yes, absurdity.

And speaking of absurdity, we can't get enough Tyra Banks. Sure, she's a terrible journalist, shamelessly patronizing and unbelievably full of herself, but we're hopelessly addicted to her television show. It's great therapy, actually. Whenever we're angry with the world, we just turn it on, yell at her utter stupidity and feel like a million bucks.

That said, you can be sure we loved the episode on which Lepore had a little heart-to-heart with the model mogul. So, we're posting it again for those of you who may have missed it.

(PS: We think Lepore's way prettier than busted ass Tyra.)

We're not sure if you've heard, but today's Valentine's Day. Yeah, we know, it can be a bit depressing for the lonely hearted, but that doesn't mean you can't celebrate your platonic love for things.

So, throughout the day we'll be sharing some of our non-romantic loves. For example, American painter Thomas Eakins. Born in Philadelphia in 1844, Eakins went on to become one of our nation's most revered realists, concocting scenes so vivid one can almost imagine diving on in, as seen above in "The Swimming Hole".

While it's hard to pin down whether or not Eakins got down with the guys, his artistic eye certainly lent itself to the homo fantasy. Come on, how many straight guys do you know who paint a group of naked lads frolicking by a lake? For reals…

Like they do every Valentine's Day, gay couples attempted to apply for marriage licenses at city and town halls all over the U.S. They have more reason to want to get hitched this year since we now know that, like broccoli and listening to Yo-Yo Ma, gay marriage is good for you.

But, as they do each year, each couple is denied. Still the idea is to make a stink about how important marriage is to everyone, including same-sex couples.

Unsurprisingly, not everyone things it's important. Says Brian Brown of the Family Institute of Connecticut (key anti-gay word: family):

"Marriage is some definite thing and what marriage is the union of one man and one woman."

Given today's festivities and all, we think that's an awfully unromantic way of thinking.
