More MESS in the Wonder Woman Pilot: Diana Prince serves as WW's Personal Assistant?

You know, it's hard to get excited about Wonder Woman returning to TV when this script has got it ALL THE FRAK WRONG.

Now, I'm learning that Diana Prince will be WW's assistant? See here,

The probably bad news (and it's not really news, at this stage): 'Wonder Woman' is being reimagined by TV uber-producer David E. Kelley, and the things Kelley is doing to the 'Wonder Woman' franchise is filling many TV observers and Diana Prince fans with dread.

First of all, he's created three different personas for Palicki to play. She'll be the crime-fighting Wonder Woman, of course, but she'll also play W.W.'s alter ego, corporate executive Diana Themyscira, and Diana's assistant, Diana Prince.

Huh? That seems a little ornate, if not confusing. And it's disheartening to read that The Daily Beast's Jace Lacob called Kelley's 'Wonder Woman' pilot script "laughably bizarre." He also said the pilot was "outdated," "cloying" and full of "stilted dialogue" and "bizarre narrative conceits." Sure, the script might undergo some alterations before the pilot is shot, but various early reactions to the project aren't exactly promising.

Hera, hold my unicorn. That just doesn't make any sense. What's Diana going to do? Use her JemStar earrings to project a hologram of the 'other Diana' in the room?

NOM, You can't Hide the Truth! Show Us Your Donors!

For awhile now, NOM has been fighting to hide their donors list. They have been to court, hiding records and flat out lying about how they are protected by law to keep them secret.

Well, a federal judge in Maine said "enough" and now, NOM is scared into silence.

A federal judge has upheld Maine's campaign finance disclosure law as constitutional in a lawsuit brought by an organization that opposes gay marriages. The National Organization for Marriage sued after the state ethics commission found that it was required to disclose the identities of its donors.

On Friday, U.S. District Judge D. Brock Hornby granted a summary judgment upholding the constitutionality of Maine's election disclosure laws.

Maine law says groups that raise or spend more than $5,000 to influence elections must register with the state and disclose their donors. NOM donated $1.9 million to Stand for Marriage Maine, a political action committee that helped repeal Maine's same sex marriage law in November 2009.

It's unknown whether NOM will appeal. A message left at NOM's offices in New Jersey wasn't immediately returned.

Oh NOM, just stop. It's time to come clean and let us know how the Mormon Church is backing your hateful asses. We will know soon.

Bil Browning hopes to Expose Anti-Gay Indiana Lawmakers

Fed up with the foolishness of anti-gay Indiana lawmakers, gay blogger Bil Browning from The Bilerico Project is coming at them with full force. He's looking for some dirty laundry to expose these lawmakers and to hold them accountable for their bigotry.

Here's more (from Bil himself)

Now that a marriage discrimination amendment has passed the Indiana House of Representatives, apparently it's time to put out the same call I made in 2007 that helped to kill attempts to amend the constitution until now. Last time we found out that Senator Brandt Hershman, one of the sponsors of the amendment and right-to-life darling, had forced his wife to have an abortion in 1997 before he filed for divorce one week later. I also found an anti-gay legislator who was shtupping a male hairdresser while his wife died of a long-term illness.

Consider this a call to gossip. I want to know the scoop. Tell me the stories that will embarrass those conservative bigots - Democrats and Republican - that are backing a constitutional ban on our formalized relationships. Send me gossip about who's a philanderer, a kink fiend, a drug addict, a porn addict, or had a divorce, an abortion or even a stay in rehab. Ask your friends and family for the dirt. Look it up on the internet. Sniff out a lead and send it my way.

Lady Gaga has a Partnership with Target?

Did you know that Lady Gaga has a partnership with Target? Yes, Target, the company known for donating to anti-gay folks. Well, Gaga was aware of that and decided to challenge them on their practices.

In an exclusive interview with the music publication, Gaga reveals she wasn't comfortable with the Target partnership when it first came up as a possibility and that she met with "the entire executive staff" at the company.

"That discussion was one of the most intense conversations I've ever had in a business meeting," Gaga says. "Part of my deal with Target is that they have to start affiliating themselves with LGBT charity groups and begin to reform and make amends for the mistakes they've made in the past ... our relationship is hinged upon their reform in the company to support the gay community and to redeem the mistakes they've made supporting those [antigay] groups."

I have to admit, she has the star power. Do your thang, Gaga... Just make sure your other songs are better than 'Born This Way'.
