Yes On 1 Maine Puts Out New Ridiculous Ad

Why are people opposed to gay-marriage in Maine and other states so obsessed with children's education. What's the big deal about teaching kids about gay marriage? And even if it was a big deal, why would that even happen?

I don't remember learning about marriage at all in school, straight or gay. What subject would that even fall under?

I know.. this post is riddled with questions but it just really baffles me. I guess the argument works for them because this is probably the billionth ad I've seen fear-mongering about children learning about dirty homo sex marriage.

Jared Leto Just Got Exponentially Hotter

An organization known as FAIR (Freedom Action Inclusion Rights) will be hosting an online auction with celebrity-signed prints of Shepard Fairey's "Defend Equality Love Unites" posters. Amongst the participants is actor and musician Jared Leto, who took an original approach to the project.

Rather than just sign the poster, Leto copied the text from the Proposition 8 ballot initiative onto the poster. Then he burned it. The ashes will be auctioned off in a glass urn, inscribed with the text--"Here lies within, the remains of Proposition 8, may it rest in peace." 

Other stars participating in the auction include Chelsea Handler, Kim Kardashian, Scarlett Johansson and Twilight star Anna Kendrick. Aside from Leto, my favorite treatment came from comedian Sarah Silverman, who scribbled on the poster "Peace, poop and penis". I mean, isn't that the American way?

Schwarzenegger Approves Harvey Milk Day

Good news from California! Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has approved a bill that will recognize every May 22nd as Harvey Milk Day. Though it won't be a state holiday, the measure will encourage schools to conduct lessons "remembering the life of Harvey Milk, recognizing his accomplishments and familiarizing pupils with the contributions he made to [the] state."

Schwarzenegger also signed a bill that to recognize same-sex couples who are legally married in other states and give them all the rights of marriage in California. That's one more step in the right direction!

Mariah Says Cheers To Gay Marriage

A couple of bespectacled homosexicles got engaged at a Mariah Carey concert in Vegas, and the video is pretty much the cutest thing ever. With some candy bling, glitter and champagne, these two start begin their journey as Mr. Nick Cannon and Mr. Mariah Carey. Congratulations to these lovely lambs!

Steve King Thinks Gay Marriage = Socialism?!

Representative Steve King is spouting some ridiculous theories when it comes to gay-marriage. In his warped mind marriage equality somehow equals socialism. Ya, I don't get it either but I'll let him try to explain:

"So in the end this is something that has to come with a, if there's a push for a socialist society, a society where the foundations of individual rights and liberties are undermined and everybody is thrown together, living collectively off of one pot of resources earned by everyone. That is, this is one of the goals they have to go to is same-sex marriage because it has to plow through marriage in order to get to their goal. They want public affirmation. They want access to public funds and resources. Eventually all those resources will be pooled because that's the direction we're going. And not only is it a radical social idea, it is a purely socialist concept in the final analysis."

Okay, so maybe his explanation makes even less sense. I think the verdict is that he clearly has no idea what he's talking about, but I'm not surprised. There's also audio of the comment, which you can see above.

Charlize Theron Also Won't Get Married Until We Can

Joining a growing list of stars that includes Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and True Blood's Mehcad Brooks, actress Charlize Theron has declared that she won't be marrying her long-time partner Stuart Townsend until gay and lesbian individuals have the same rights. Previously, the South African beauty called US marriage laws a "form of apartheid.

She told the ladies of The View, "I don't want to get married because right now the institution of marriage feels very one-sided, and I want to live in a country where we all have equal rights...I have so many friends who are gay and lesbian and would so badly want to get married, and I wouldn't be able to sleep with myself."

Am I the only one who thinks she slipped in that "sleep with myself" to fuel straight male opponents' fantasies of twin Charlize Therons exploring one another's cooches and thereby coerce them into supporting marriage equality? That would be an interesting strategy, but I doubt any of those guys are watching The View...

Mehcad Brooks Is More Than Just A Hot Piece of Ass

True Blood hottie Mehcad Brooks is more than just a hot body on a stick, he's also a defender of gay equality! I love it when we get both in one hottie, like Brad Pitt.

Just like Mr. Pitt, Mehcad says he refuses to marry until gay people can so, telling Honey Magazine:

"I haven’t even gotten that far [about settling down]. But yeah, I want a wife, I want kids. The whole thing. But I’m also not even concerned with marrying somebody until it’s legal for everybody to get married. And what I mean by that is the whole Prop 8 thing. I find it really offensive. I just find it really problematic when you start throwing people’s rights away. Until we get our gay brothers and sisters back into a realm of consciousness that everyone else is in, it’s just not right. A woman who’s getting married—it’s probably going to be a gay man who made her dress, and a gay man who’s doing her hair and makeup, but he can’t get married. How messed up is that?"

Okay, so the whole gay men are all designer stereotype is pretty tired, but let's not nitpick. If someone is out there defending gay rights I think they earn a little slack, and it's probably true anyway.

Michael Duvall Loves Family Values and Extramarital Spanking

Just in case you're unfamiliar, Michael Duvall is a California Assemblyman who opposes gay marriage on the grounds of upholding "family values". According to his definition, practicing family values involves being married with kids and spanking a younger female lobbyist (one out of two that he's sleeping with). He also enjoys bragging to his political buddies that his cum was oozing from her cooch. 

"Sacred Vows" + Unprotected Sex = "Family Values". These are the important lessons we learn from hypocritical politicians.

Is Gay Marriage Actually Saving Opposite Marriage?

If you listened to the likes of Maggie Gallagher you might believe that gay marriage is some kind of pariah that destroys "opposite" marriage, but Rachel Maddow's got some numbers that knock that theory out of the water.

In Massachusetts, the first state to legalize gay marriage, the divorce rate is the lowest in the country! It's actually at pre-WWII levels, and you know people hardly ever divorced back then. I think it's very impressive and should be on every gay person's talking points when defending gay marriage.

Legalize Your Gay Booty

Forgive me if this is old news, but how come nobody told me that American Apparel is selling "Legalize Gay" underwear? The shirts have been floating around our office and beyond, and I'm wondering if it becomes an entirely different message when it's sprawled across your ass like some "SEXY BITCH" shorts you'd see on a trashy chick at the Jersey shore. You might as well just get a "Legalize Gay" tramp stamp...

On the other hand, I love blogger Kenneth Walsh's quip on this one--"I'm pretty sure the Supreme Court's ruling Lawrence v. Texas took care of this particular aspect of the fight."
