Oh noes! Hundreds of penguins have dropped dead in shock over Argentina legalizing gay marriage! (You didn’t think he’d stop with the anti-gay killer bees, did you?)

Maybe “party” makes “the” OK. But still.

Here’s some of the LGBT contingent here at Netroots Nation. No time to label all the photos, but you should recognize a lot of these folks. Follow along on Twitter at hashtag #LGBTNN10.

Here’s the video from Tuesday’s closure of the Las Vegas strip by GetEQUAL as they protested Sen. Harry Reid’s perceived inaction on ENDA.

This was supposed to be an official Sharron Angle press conference. But when the speaker at the podium opened up the floor to questions, Angle turned on her heel and fled the venue, pursued by the press that her own campaign had invited.

NOM’s Brian Brown took a minute to spin spin spin to a cameraman (from Garden State Equality, I think) about their attendance and the fake families on the side of their Hate Bus. Yeah, yeah, whatevs, Miss Brown. But definitely hang around until 4:30 when PFOX “ex-gay” leader Greg Quinlan talks about his dream spouse. It’s classic. Quinlan will be …

Netroots Nation 2010 officially opened this morning and of course, interwebs access here is completely borked, hence my radio silence for the last few hours. Paid access in the hotel rooms is extremely slow and the free wifi in the convention center just isn’t working at all.

Yesterday Rep. Michele Bachmann formally announced the creation of the Tea Party Caucus in the U.S. House. The Washington Post weighs in: There and then — on the Capitol grounds 104 days before the midterm elections — Tea Party activists and Republican officeholders set aside any pretense about the two groups being separate. They essentially consummated a merger: The activists …

The complaint box is open. Rant, vent, bitch.

LifeSiteNews gets the prize for the most hysterics-laden and fact-twisting coverage of NOM’s appearance in Rhode Island. They barely escaped the evil homofacists with their lives, people! Unhampered by police, a peaceful pro-life rally devolved into chaos Sunday after an army of homosexualist activists shouted down presenters, screamed insults, and even targeted for harrassment small children of families who had …

Yesterday Matthew Vanderpool, an openly gay candidate for the Kentucky state legislature, issued a press release declaring that he had rejected campaign donations from the Victory Fund because he didn’t want to be in their “back pocket.” Vanderpool said that while he is gay, he “has no gay agenda” and that being gay “does not define my entire life or …

Sara Gilbert, who starred in Rosanne as a child and is now openly gay, will launch a daily talk show about parenting issues on CBS this fall.
