Colorado has approved a civil unions bill, which the governor has pledged to sign. Colorado has a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, so this is as close as we can get for now, though this ads Colorado to the group of states that President Obama addressed in his Prop 8 brief. And right on cue, Catholic Charities is threatening to cease adoption services in Colorado.

Meanwhile, committees in the Senate and the House in Minnesota have advanced their respective marriage equality bills to the full chambers, where the fight will be tougher. The U.S. has funded a study under National Institutes of Health to study why 75% of lesbians are obese and gay men are not.

Are 75% of lesbians really obese? Because if so, I must know a lot of the other 25%. Travis Matthews , who partnered with James Franco for Interior.

Leather Bar . says that we've entered into a new era of gay films. "I think we ve entered a new era of sorts where gay films are being made in the absence of the well-tread gay crises (HIV, bullying, homophobia) or trope (coming out stories, hot twink comedies), in favor of a good story. I see films popping up that are good films first, but with casts whose gayness is just a taken-for-granted piece of the story.

It s about respecting the audience s intelligence on some level and trusting that the audience doesn t need to be educated about the gay experience. TVLine says that Kurt and Adam are going Greek get your minds out of the gutter. Instead, they'll attract the attention of a fraternity after the save the day for the spring rager.

Can anyone imagine Kurt at a rager? There's a new interactive map that lets you see the top porn search terms by state/country/province. One of the more common terms (and the only regular appearance of "gay" seems to be "straight (gay)" which means that people like watching gay stuff, just not thinking about gay dudes doing each other.

Denial is evidently a river in places other than Egypt. When President Obama met with Congressional Democrats, an executive order preventing discrimination in the federal workforce and ENDA were not topics of discussion. The American Family Association is advocating criminalizing sex outside of marriage.

Good luck with that. Sherlock may have just started filming season three, but they've already confirmed a season four. For no reason, here are Liam and Chris Hemsworth shirtless and surfing in Australia.

When Jesse Tyler Ferguson was set to propose to Justin Mikita , he had planned a romantic moonlight proposal on the beach in Mexico, but "was scuttled when they were chased away by sand crabs." In case you were out of things to be worried about, the Ukraine has lost several of their military dolphins. Some were trained to find mines, but others were armed with knives and guns to kill divers. So you might want to rethink your spring break plans.

As I mentioned in the comments of yesterday's Meme, the suicide of porn actor Wilfried Knight was a complicated affair, coming so shortly after the suicide of his husband. DOMA may have played a part. "Jerry was an American citizen and Wilfried was a French national. Despite the challenges of being in a multi-national relationship, they tried very hard to make it work and stay together.

Wilfried even enrolled into acupuncture school in Portland so that they can stay together. With his schooling and attached visa coming to a close end, Jerry desperately looked for work in Vancouver, Canada. They would have preferred to stay Portland but due to American immigration laws their Canadian marriage was not recognized and Wilfried would have to leave the U.S." 42 Things That Prove Joseph Gordon-Levitt Is the Perfect Man Venezuelan opposition candidate Henrique Capriles has been the butt of some jokes from Nicol s Maduro , the right hand of late president Hugo Chavez , insinuating he might be gay.

Capriles decided to respond in the most direct way possible. "I'd like to send a respectful and considerate message in rejection to the homophobic remarks made by Nicol s Maduro today. It's not the first time. I believe in a society without exclusion and that's the way I express it to the country.

A society where no one feels excluded based on the way they think, their race, their creed, their sexual orientation. People should go out and reject it.That's fascism. Absolute fascism.

And even if the game does glorify whaling as it certainly glorifies the life of a pirate I don't think it will lead to a generation of gamers who head to the Caribbean to hunt down humpbacks.
