Wednesday was a busy day for news. Not only did the Supreme Court rule on pivotal gay rights cases, but everything from murder to Paula Deen went down today. Here’s a quick round up of everything you may have missed broken down into convenient “Winners & Losers” categories.
Winner: Stonewall
Following the decisions by the Supreme Court, the LGBTQ community gathered outside of Stonewall Inn to celebrate landmark victories. (Check out this great Instagram video.)

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Loser: Bono
U2’s front inexplicably man sat down with Focus On The Family, which has done considerable damage to the LGBT movement and now gets to promote their ties to the singer.
Winner: Nancy Pelosi
In case you missed it, Pelosi swiftly shut down Michele Bachmann’s SCOTUS remarks.

Winner: Google
Google loves gays and showed its pride with a little Easter egg.
Loser: Aaron Hernandez
The New England Patriots tight end was released from the team after he was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.
Winner: Crossfire
The long-running political debate program on CNN is making its return after several years off the air.
Loser: Roger Federer
The tennis champion was knocked out of Wimbledon during Day 3 of the tournament. Aging is a bitch.
Winner: Fans of The Hills
Entertainment Weekly reported that the show will air an alternate ending to the series in August. What is it? And why? And how? And obviously, can’t wait!
Loser: Paula Deen
This ongoing saga of Deen’s usage of the N-word reached a new high with the tearful Matt Lauer interview on the Today show. It was not a good PR move.

Man, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor have regressed into pre-2008 white males in that SCOTUS picture y’all have up . . .

There was some pretty wrenching testimony in the George Zimmerman trial too by Rachel Jeantel, the last person to speak to Trayvon Martin alive.

Dammit Bono, why can’t you wrap your car round a tree. I’m sick of never winning a dead pool, the closest I came was Michael Jackson but someone else died and I lost him, then he copped it.
Admittedly I pick people I would like to die.

Aaron Hernandez already has a great start on his prison tattoos. Just google him and check out his images.
