We may be soon adding South Korea to the long list of nations that allow gays to serve openly in their military. Clause No. 92 in the code, established in 1962, stipulates that those who are engaged in “sodomy or other acts of molestation” are to be given a jail sentence of up to one year. The NHRC has been …

Susan Blackwell of the Tony-nominated [title of show] brings together Nathan Lane, Wilson Cruz, Terrence McNally, Denis O’Hare, Cherry Jones and dozens of other well-known Broadway stars for their It Gets Better message. (Tipped by JMG reader Beau)

If the teabaggers and Christianists get their wished-for violent revolution and the homos are put up against the wall, it will be the kapos at Gay Patriot and GOProud holding the machine guns.

Florida gubernatorial candidate Alex Sink just conceded the race to teabagger Rick Scott, who spent $75M of his stolen-from-the-people fortune to buy his way into a slim victory. In 2002 Scott’s hospital group paid the largest federal fine in history, a multi-billion dollar judgment assessed for pervasive and systematic Medicare fraud, yet Scott still walked away with $350M of that …

Teabagger Ken Buck, who said that gayness is a choice, except when it’s not, like for alcoholics, has lost his bid to unseat Sen. Michael Bennet, who was appointed to the Senate to replace Ken Salazar, Obama’s choice for Secretary of the Interior. It was an extremely tight race with Buck leading most of the way, so this is a …

And not, you know, the fact that she a completely dizzy airhead who can’t quote a single Supreme Court case. Or that she’s a morals Nazi who goes around telling people who to fuck.

A few races are still too close to call.

San Francisco has approved its controversial Proposition L, which bans sitting or lying on public sidewalks between the hours of 7AM and 11PM. Repeat offenders face now thirty days in jail. The bill is intended to give the city’s shop owners (and homeowners) some respite from the homeless who often panhandle aggressively from in front of their buildings for weeks …

California’s Prop 19, which would have decriminalized the possession of less than one ounce of marijuana, has failed by a wide margin. The initiative would have eliminated all criminal penalties for adults 21 and older who planted marijuana in a plot of up to 25 square feet or possessed up to an ounce for personal use. It also would have …

I jumped the gun earlier when I said you probably wouldn’t have to read Carl Paladino’s name again, because you’ve got to see his “concession” speech in which he brandishes a baseball bat and threatens Governor-Elect Andrew Cuomo with having it “used against him” if he doesn’t get Albany in line. SRSLY.

Iowa’s Supreme Court justices have been ousted thanks to NOM’s campaign of lies and religious bigotry and their outright refusal to abide by state campaign finance laws. And with NOM’s money, New Hampshire has seen a large number of anti-gay GOP state legislators swept into office. Therefore Brian Brown, who fucking literally should be in jail in numerous states, is …

Rep. Mark Kirk used to have an OK record on LGBT rights for a Republican, having voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment in 2004 and for ENDA in 2007. But then he voted against the repeal of DADT. And since under Illinois law he will be seated in the Senate tomorrow, that means one more vote against repealing DADT should …

Lincoln Chafee, who was the only GOP Senator to ever express support for marriage equality, has won the gubernatorial race in Rhode Island as an Independent. Democrat Frank Caprio had been leading up until two weeks ago, but lost ground after telling President Obama to “shove it” when he didn’t get Obama’s endorsement. Both Chafee and Caprio had promised to …

I am touching ALL of the Flying Spaghetti Monster’s noodly appendages in joy as the networks have just declared Sen. Harry Reid as the winner in Nevada’s freakazoid Senate race. Never before (I don’t think) have I loathed a political candidate so fiercely with every gay fiber of my being as I do Sharron Angle. (OK, maybe Ruben Diaz.) Congratulations …

Former Rep. Pat Toomey narrowly defeated Rep. Joe Sestak to take Arlen Specter’s Senate seat. As a Congressman, Toomey voted to ban gay adoptions in Washington DC, voted against the Matthew Shepard Act, and voted for a federal ban on same-sex marriage. He is also James Dobson’s bitch and is frequently trotted out at Focus On The Family hate rallies. …

Whackadoodle former Rep. Tom Tancredo, who infamously said that President Obama should be impeached “and sent back to Kenya,” has lost his bid for Colorado governor to Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, who has expressed support for same-sex marriage. Another excellent win for the Dems.

It was a nail-biter to down the wire, but the networks are just now calling it for Boxer. Whew! And another loss for an anti-marriage endorsee of GOProud! Congrats to one of the Senate’s most reliable friends of the LGBT community!

Meg Whitman pissed away $150M of her own money in her losing bid to Attorney General Jerry Brown, giving her the all-time global record for most money ever wasted on a losing political campaign. Please please let there be a photo op when the Guiness Book Of Hilarious Records shows up at her house tomorrow. On a more serious note, …
