Stonewall Uprising coming to PBS in April, part of the American Experience series. Here's the promo.

Let me get this straight: Adam Lambert snogs a dude on the American Music Awards, and spends months banned from ABC shows like Good Morning America and The View. Chris Brown breaks a window and storms out of Good Morning America when he’s asked about his felony assault of Rihanna, and he’s still welcome to perform on ABC’s Dancing With the Stars. So male-male kissing is worse than violence. Thanks for clearing that up ABC.

While obviously Lambert shouldn't have been banned from TV because of what he did, the comparison would be more useful if Chris Brown had done any of his bad stuff while actually on air.

From the point of view of a producer, what Lambert did is a lot more relevant than what Brown did.

And now he's being sued. I hope Armstrong gets every last penny (and then some) out of that psycho.

The current University of Michigan student body president filed a lawsuit Friday saying a former assistant state attorney general stalked him and inflicted emotional distress last year by posting alleged defamatory statements on a blog as part of a “bizarre personal obsession” that included calling him a Nazi, Ku Klux Klan member and a “radical homosexual activist,” according to a lawsuit.

Chris Armstrong, the first openly gay student body president at U-M, filed the suit against Andrew Shirvell in Washtenaw County Circuit Court. He is asking for more than $25,000 in damages.

Shirvell was not immediately available for comment this morning.

I'm guessing we must be having something coming up on our ballots because they have launched a big ad campaign. The tv ads are very tastefully done and will hopefully appeal to a wider audience. The ad we llike best has a man/wife couple talking about how their daughters convinced them that everyone has a right to be married and happy just like they are are. I hope it works this time.

I was at Trader Joe's this afternoon. There was a little boy (about 6) who was holding a bouquet of flowers and looking distressed. He was with his mother.

Mom: "We're here so you can pick out some flowers to give Grandma on her birthday."
Son: "I want the flowers!"
Mom: "The flowers are for grandma, honey."
Son: "Why can't I have the flowers? I like them."
Mom: "Ok sweetie, We'll give these to Grandma and you can pick out another bunch for you."
Son: "Flowers are pretty. I like flowers."


Bless you young mother. I hope you'll always be as supportive to your little gay boy in the making.

So heteros can't like flowers?

I hope they turn the Crystal Cathedral into a giant Fry's.

No. Didn't you get the memo? Hetero boys cannot like flowers and hetero girls can't like sports. 'Mo boys talk with a lisp and 'Mo girls like to fix cars. Honestly GD, you really need to keep track of these things....
