The London's Gay Men Chorus performed Erasure's "A Little Respect" to encourage the House of Lords to pass equal-marriage legislation. We're not sure how well some of the lords can hear, what with their heads up their asses and all. UPDATE: The House of Lords has passed the equal-marriage bill!

Eastman is also suing the IRS and calling for impeachment hearings because of the leak: "If someone higher up led this, these are high crimes and misdemeanors and ought to lead to impeachment investigations," he said. Please, you'd call for Obama's impeachment if he used the wrong fork at dinner.

Our favorite outspoken footballer/LGBT activist Chris Kluwe had to turn down an invitation to a White House pride event next week.
