How to Make a Rainbow Cake


Okay, this is beyond cute -- and perfect for your next potluck or Coming Out party. Or just any occasion that happens to be particularly gay. And like the site says, "If you’re a lesbian, they’ll be thrilled that you won’t be forgoing your feminine kitchen duties." Work that kitchen ware, grrls! Make yourself a Rainbow Cake! And do save us a slivver?

Last Chance to Buy From Oscar Wilde


The legendary NYC bookstore, that is. After 41 years, the Oscar Wilde gay and lesbian bookshop will be closing its doors forever. Sadly, the world's oldest LGBT bookstore is so deep in debt that they can't afford to even switch to a fulltime online presence. They can, however, take online orders through March 29th.

Christian Wingnuts Upset With Academy Awards


Ooh, hangover from Oscar Night is still subsiding and already the FundaMENTAList religious whackos are in an uproar over a few gay-friendly remarks made during the big show.

Actually, we think Jesus Christ would be rolling his holy eyes over this bunch.

Federal Judge: Denial of Health Coverage to Same-Sex Spouse Unconstitutional


The validity of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act has been called out by Federal Judge.

Legal eagles are taking note, and this ruling could spread.

Gene Robinson Backing Same-Sex Marriage in NH


New Hampshire does have civil unions, but that may change if the right voices get heard. The U.S. Episcopal Church's first openly gay bishop is supporting a bill to allow same-sex marriage in New Hampshire. Unfortunately, one of the bills he's up against is one that would ban gay marriage outright.

Note: Although Robinson's very moving invocation started 10 minutes before the official telecast of the Obama inauguration, you can read it here.

Sally Kern's Found Our Agenda!


Anti-gay Okie State Rep Sally Kern has obviously been headfirst in homo homework, and has figured out the secret code for the Gay Agenda (tm). It was buried in an adaptation of an Oscar Wilde play! Guess I can stop looking under the couch cushions for it now.
