Stereogum recaps the first release from Kitchens Of Distinction in 19 years: London’s Kitchens Of Distinctions were a British guitar band in the late ’80s – mid ’90s, but they never really fit into any of the highly publicized scenes of that time and place: too lucid to be considered shoegazers, too dreamy to be Britpop. Because of that, they …

The Alliance Defending Freedom, which works nationwide to thwart freedom, has issued a money beg declaring that “foreign warheads” are aimed at the religious liberties of Christians.  Examples of these non-domestic nukes somehow include the Supreme Court rulings that legalized sodomy and outlawed the death penalty for minors. Because gays belong in prison and teenage killers deserve lethal injections, apparently. …

Earlier this year the Republican Party of Illinois ousted its chairman, Pat Brady, after NOM and other anti-gay groups called for his removal for endorsing same-sex marriage.  But Brady now has a new gig. The ACLU hired Next Generation Public Affairs, a governmental affairs and public relations firm co-founded by Brady and Matt Strawn, former chairman of the Iowa Republican …

Gizmodo tells us: It’s everyone’s favorite time of year—the birds are chirping, the bees are buzzing, and PornHub has just released a big, ol’ sticky mess of data about the country’s porn habits. And the conclusion? The MILF is alive and well, Nevada is weirdly into adult film star Anita Queen, and anyone invested in the porn industry needn’t worry—America …

This is fantastic. (Tipped by JMG reader Philip)

“Would these erudite, elite women be as upset if Miley Cyrus had twerked with another woman instead of Robin Thicke? It would not be an issue. I’ll bet you a dollar, and I have a few of those, that it would not be an issue. Obama might have called Miley to praise her for her heroism had she twerked with …

Add Taos County to the list. Taos County will become the sixth county in New Mexico to issue same-gender marriage licenses, after 8th Judicial District Judge Jeff McElroy issued a Writ of Mandamus compelling the County Clerk’s Office to issue marriage licenses to same-gender couples who apply. In a telephone interview, County Clerk Anna Martinez told TaosUnfiltered.com that her office …

From the annual ranking just issued by Forbes: Madonna‘s latest album, MDNA, was a flop. Her 12th studio album, Madonna sold fewer than 1 million copies of MDNA in the U.S. and the singles, like “Give Me All Your Luvin,” failed to impress on the pop music scene. But the tour that the Material Girl launched to go along with …

Cory Booker’s GOP opponent in the Senate race wasted no time in making not-so-veiled anti-gay comments after Booker yesterday said he didn’t care if people think he’s gay. Listen to some   assholery from Steve Lonegan, who says he “likes being a guy.” The implication is clear.

Right Wing Watch has posted excerpts from the 700 Club many, many times over the years. But very curiously, today’s now infamous clip of Pat Robertson’s douchetastic lie about gay men has been yanked from YouTube due to a copyright claim by the Christian Broadcasting Network. We’re confident that RWW will soon be able to re-post the clip as it …

Conversation’s over! Got a little too close to the ongoing cover that right wingers give homocon Matt Drudge! Still, that’s the first time I’ve gotten a prominent anti-gay activist to even grudgingly concede that Drudge should come out if he’s gay. I’ve saved the above conversation to Storify just in case it should come in handy later. RELATED: Here’s the …

“I was asked by a viewer whether she had a right to leave her church because she had been asked to transport an elderly man who had AIDS and about whose condition she had not been informed. My advice was that the risk of contagion in those circumstances was quite low and that she should continue to attend the church …

Details.

“People who think I’m gay, some part of me thinks it’s wonderful. Because I want to challenge people on their homophobia. I love seeing on Twitter when someone says I’m gay, and I say, ‘So what does it matter if I am? So be it. I hope you are not voting for me because you are making the presumption that …

We’re up to five counties in New Mexico: San Miguel County in New Mexico joins Valencia County as the latest in the state to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. San Miguel County Clerk Melanie Rivera has confirmed that she will issue new gender neutral marriage licenses later this week, though couples who don’t want to wait can receive a …

This is possibly the most outrageous thing Pat Robertson has ever said. Today on the 700 Club, Pat Robertson told co-host Terry Meeuwsen that gay men in cities like San Francisco attempt to spread HIV/AIDS to others by cutting them with a special ring when shaking hands. However, one could not hear Robertson make the remarks on the episode his …

Quinn, the City Council LGBT Caucus, Council Member Robert Jackson and Council Member Inez Dickens today announced they will sponsor a free, community-wide self-defense class in Manhattan. “New Yorkers must trust that they can walk down the street without fear of being …
