Question of the Day: Drag Race Edition


Well, I was wrong. Raja did win the Drag Race, but do you agree?

Spill the Tea, y'all.

Levi Johnston will 'Write' a Tell-All Book on the Palins


I was just wondering when Lil Abner was going to show his face in the spotlight. He's writing a memoir called,  "Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin's Crosshairs"

Here's more:
"I want to tell the truth about my close relationship with the Palins, my sense of Sarah and my perplexing fall from grace -- how I feel and what I've learned," Johnston said in a statement released by his publisher, Touchstone Publishing.


"Levi is going to talk about everybody, including Sarah Palin, and the rest of the family -- Bristol too,” Johnston's manager, Tank Johnson, told RadarOnline. "The book will have good stuff. He isn’t leaving anything out."

Levi is doing this for (his words) "for me, for my boy Tripp and for the country." And money, let's be real about that, boo.

Prop 8 Supporters want to Overturn Judge Walker's ruling because he got a Man


Haters are going to hate. The Prop 8 supporters are trying their best to keep the hateful law alive.

They want to strike down Judge Walker's ruling because he's gay and he's has a MAN!
Here's the scoop:
Lawyers for Protect Marriage, the coalition of religious and conservative groups that sponsored Proposition 8, however, have not previously raised his sexual orientation as a legal issue.
Protect Marriage general counsel Andy Pugno said that changed when the judge this month told a group of courthouse reporters about his 10-year relationship. The issue is not that Walker is gay, but that his relationship status made him too similar to the same-sex couples who sued for the right to marry, Pugno said.

"We deeply regret the necessity of this motion. But if the courts are to require others to follow the law, the courts themselves must do so as well," Pugno added.

Walker said at the time that he did not consider his sexual orientation to be any more a reason for recusal than another judge's race or gender normally would be.
They need to quit this show and stay out of Judge Walker's private business. I'm sure he was fair and true to the case. Their silly attempts to stop the inevitable is tired and desperate.

Let justice be, haters.

Guess Who's Running Planned Parenthood? SATAN!


This fool Rod Parsley has jumped the gun, bazooka and other weapons. He thinks Satan runs Planned Parenthood.

The Attorneys who were Defending DOMA has Backed Out of Case!


Juicy, juicy! The firm King and Spalding has decided NOT to defend DOMA in court! This is a huge turn of events, sending a super strong message to the GOP and haters.

Here's more from Politico:
King and Spalding Chairman Robert D. Hays, Jr., whose partner Paul Clement was to lead the defense, said in a statement through a spokesman, Les Zuke:

Today the firm filed a motion to withdraw from its engagement to represent the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group of the House of Representatives on the constitutional issues regarding Section III of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act. Last week we worked diligently through the process required for withdrawal.

In reviewing this assignment further, I determined that the process used for vetting this engagement was inadequate. Ultimately I am responsible for any mistakes that occurred and apologize for the challenges this may have created.

The statement is silent on the reasons for the decision, but the firm faced protests at its Atlanta office and a national campaign against it. And now the House majority may have to find a new lawyer.
But there's more, kids. The superstar lawyer, Paul Clement, has resigned from the firm.

'RuPaul's Drag Race' Season Three ends TONIGHT


The drag race ends, but I wonder who will win? I think it may be between Alexis Mateo and Manila Luzon. Raja has the style, but that's about it. She is not captivating to watch as a drag performer. Alexis and Manila are wonderful and entertaining, so I think one of them will win.

Then again, I thought Raven was going to win. Oh well, we will see tonight.

Peter Tatchell will hold a Marriage Equality Protest in front of Buckingham Palace


Gay activist Peter Tatchell will stage a protest for marriage equality at Buckingham Palace today. On his website, Peter explain his reasons:
“We plan to deliver a giant wedding card to William and Kate. As well as wishing the royal couple every happiness, we will highlight the fact that William and Kate can marry, but same-sex couples can’t. 

“Our event will urge the royal couple to support moves to end the ban on gay marriage. We want equal marriage rights for all couples, regardless of sexual orientation. 

“Kate and William had a choice. They could get married, or not. Same-sex couples don’t have this choice. We are banned from marriage by law.

“All welcome. Bring your friends for a party in front of Buckingham Palace. Come with flowers, rainbow flags and pink jack flags. 

“Some of the couples involved in the Equal Love campaign will join us on the day.
“Even if you don’t agree with marriage, the prohibition on gay marriage is homophobic and should be overturned. Don’t let the government dictate that LGBTI people can’t get married. 

“The 25 April is not a celebration of the monarchy or marriage (many of us are critical of both). It is an affirmation of our opposition to discrimination in marriage law. We want to show our support for the right of everyone to be able to choose whether or not to get married, said Mr Tatchell.
And...
We urge Kate and William to support marriage equality: the right of same-sex couples to get married. Their support would mean a lot. They take for granted the right to marry. Marriage is something that many lesbian and gay couples want but cannot have. 


“Gay marriage is a simple issue of respect, equality and fairness. In a democracy, we should all be equal before the law. This means an equal right to marry, regardless of sexual orientation. 

“Gay couples are allowed civil partnerships. But this is not equality. They cannot get married in a register office like their heterosexual family and friends. This is discrimination and discrimination is wrong. 
This is bold, but important. I wish Peter and all who attend luck and safety.
