Alfonso Herrera Is The "Urban Cowboy," Mara Wilson Slams Roland Emmerich, Uggie Has Died: MEME

President Jimmy Carter has cancer, Guam updates marriage laws, federal judge orders Kentucky clerk to issue marriage licenses


Steve Grand has a point about how LGBT press tends to focus on the male body, but what do we do about it? Towelroad has a nuanced look at the dilemma. "Still, though, Steve Grand has a point. There is a disrespect in determining someone’s worthiness of your attention (read: clicks) based solely on their looks. The onus, it should be said, doesn’t rest solely on the shoulders of the people reading articles and ogling Instagram posts. The sharing of sexually-charged, if technically tame, images is a two way street. When celebrities post photos of themselves in various states of undress, the public is going to stare. We’re all complicit in maintaining that relationship, but the question is: what do we do about it?"

To me, part of the answer is that we make sure to cover the artist when they do good, when they wear clothes, when they're just doing their art, and make sure we don't just focus on the pecs and the abs. But if pecs and abs are part of the marketing sometimes, it's fair game. But we can do it in a way that celebrates good looks without slut shaming him like some blogs have done. Hell, if you've got it, flaunt it.


Fox's remake of Urban Cowboy has cast Sense8's Alfonso Herrera as the titular cowboy. It make sense, as Herrera is a successful singer in Mexico.


U.S. District Judge David Bunning has granted a preliminary injunction against Kentucky clerk Kim Davis, who is refusing to issue marriage licenses because issuing them to same sex couples violates her religion. "Davis is bound by her duties as a public servant to obey the law. She is even free to believe that marriage is a union between one man and one woman, as many Americans do. However, her religious convictions cannot excuse her from performing the duties that she took an oath to perform as Rowan County clerk." Davis has already filed her appeal.


Former child star Mara Wilson, who you may remember from Matilda and Miracle on 34th Street is calling out Roland Emmerich for Stonewall, and she's getting personal. “Has anyone told Roland Emmerich that Stonewall wasn’t one of the parties at his house exclusively for young, fit, white, gay men[?] Go ahead and have your parties, but don’t try to alter history. It’s just sad. Emmerich has said it was the studios that made him change it, buuuuut somehow I’m not buying it.”


Speaking of places with a lot of young, fit, white gay men, David Cooley has purchased back The Abbey from SBE, which he had sold a major stake to ten years ago. Buried in the article is the trivia piece that can't actually be true, saying that The Abbey is the largest purchaser of vodka in the world. Have they seen a cruise ship?


In an entirely NSFW video, you can watch artist Brent Ray Fraser, who we talked about last year for his naked painting (using his penis as a brush), create a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana with his trusty wand.


Former President Jimmy Carter has revealed that he has cancer, and it's spread throughout his body.“Recent liver surgery revealed that I have cancer that now is in other parts of my body. I will be rearranging my schedule as necessary so I can undergo treatment by physicians at Emory Healthcare. A more complete public statement will be made when facts are known, possibly next week.” Carter has been an amazing former president, traveling the globe and negotiating deals. He's also been shockingly pro-gay despite his religious southern roots. He recently said he thought Jesus would approve of marriage equality.


The gay press has been fascinated with Jane Ward's Not Gay: Sex Between Straight White Men, in which she talks about straight white men who have sexual contact with other men, but do it in ways that assert their heterosexuality. Gawker has a fairly detailed takedown of her pretty shoddy research methodologies, but my favorite line from the whole thing is pretty simple: "Yeah, but that’s not how dicks work."


Madonna doesn't think she'll be back to Russia due their anti-gay laws. “I won’t appear in Moscow or St Petersburg anymore, because I don’t want to perform in places where being homosexual is tantamount to a crime."


The descriptions of the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers are out from the new movie, and does the description of the Blue Ranger sound a bit...gay to anyone else? "Billy – 17 years old, slight and awkward. Billy is challenged in his abilities to communicate and interact socially. Whip-smart and sweet, but always odd. Sometimes in a fun way, sometimes not, Billy is a kid with no filter. Showing his emotions, understanding sarcasm, and dealing with his OCD is a constant challenge. Has never really had any friends and instantly gravitates towards Jason." Which would be funny since the original Blue Ranger actor, David Yost, was gay and has said he was harassed for it.


Guam's Senate has moved quickly to change the laws for marriage equality, and tossed in a nondiscrimination act for good measure.


Uggie, the dog who captured our hearts in The Artist, has died at the age of 13. He was put down humanely after a battle with a prostate tumor.


Pretty Little Liars finally revealed A this week, and it was a bit of a shock to find out at the it was CeCe Drake, Alison's brother Charles, post-transition. They've had this planned for years, and weren't jumping on the transgender bandwagon we're seeing in media, according to Showrunner I. Marlene King "When we came up with the idea, there wasn’t really the transgender trends [in movies and TV] that I was aware of. It was just in the last year or two that transgender issues really started to come into the spotlight. And we were worried that people were going to think that we were jumping on the bandwagon, but we were already so dedicated and far down the path to creating this “A” that there was no going back."


After Prime Minister Tony Abbott effectively blocked marriage equality for the next two years in Australia, MP Eric Abetz took the floor to give an impassioned speech about equality by talking about his uncles, who despite being wonderful family members had no recognition of their relationship, even as his uncle lay dying from AIDS. It's deeply personal, and would stir emotions from anyone but Tony Abbott.


I love my bed. It's my favorite thing in my house. I hate crawling out of it at 4AM each day, but love crawling into it at night, and the sooner the better. On Fridays, when I'm not up writing, I have no issue going to bed at 9PM. I'm happy to sleep. So you need to know that people who go to bed early are cool.


Here's a wonderful video of Pat Robertson reacting to a letter wondering why we don't follow all of Leviticus, like putting our wives out when they're on their period. And Pat says that we don't have to follow the rules of Leviticus because Christ fulfilled that bargain with his death. Which is then followed by a clip from just a few weeks ago after the marriage equality decision, with Pat talking about how Leviticus forbids homosexuality. Can we use this as final evidence to have him committed to a home where he can yell at clouds with Grandpa Simpson?
