Towleroad alerts us to this installation by artist Norm Magnusson, who is placing these markers along Interstate 75, which runs mostly through red states.

With Mike’s permission, here’s the bulk of their response to him. We generally do not repost such fundraising efforts because they are not within our organization’s control. We …

Towleroad reports that Maggie Gallagher was spotted in the balcony of last night’s celebrity reading of the new play about Proposition 8. Andy Towle: So what could Gallagher have hoped to glean from her perch in the balcony? Perhaps she was finally enlightened last night, that her mission is flawed and hateful, that it is futile, that what she has …

Towleroad has received the below statement from White House spokesman Shin Inouye. “The Justice Department is studying the decision, including the question of its scope and immediate effect and we expect them to announce their next steps after that review is completed.

Make sure you drop in on Towleroad today where Andy Towle and Corey Johnson are posting on-the-scene interviews at the inauguration. Interviews posted so far: Congressman Jared Polis.

I’ll cover some of the same items you’ll see here, but make sure you check in at Towleroad for their interviews with politicos and LGBT newsmakers.

I laughed my ass …

But all Donahue can do is complain about the commenters and those photos of men in their bathing suits. (Which Mike correctly points out are of Olympians.) Parts 2 and 3 of the interview are below.

The Catholic League wants Andy Towle to be stricken from the list of credentialed bloggers attending the Democratic convention. “Towleroad describes itself as ‘A Site with Homosexual Tendencies.’ Accordingly, it shows men in jock straps and underwear. It also has a post on Pope Benedict XVI that takes him to task for wearing a cape with ermine. Some of those …

The Democratic Party has released their list of bloggers credentialed to cover the convention in Denver. The LGBT blogs represented are Towleroad, Pam’s House Blend, and AmericaBlog. Congrats to all!
