Hello, Internet! My really adorable girlfriend is in my kitchen cooking for me right now and I feel #blessed.
Perez Hilton F*cking Sucks
Perez Hilton is not your sassy black friend and he needs to shut the f*ck up. When he tweeted “Inside every gay man is a fierce black woman!” he wasn’t expecting to get shut down.
What @PerezHilton meant: Every gay man adopts a caricature of poor black women for their gender performance. Be grateful wit ya broke ass.

And when he did, he really fucked up. Again. For like, the zillionth time in his life. And we all slowly wept for an Earth where he is still a prominent figure in the media.
Putting “Me” Back in “Media”
+ Profits, not people, could be what’s holding LGBT people back in video game representation.
+ On Happy Endings: gay people deserve romance novels, too.
+ Blood, Sweat, and Heels is not about successful black women. And that’s tired.
+ Paula Deen feels like Michael Sam sometimes. I feel like a drink.
+ VERONICA MARS MOVIE! VERONICA MARS MOVIE!
In The Name Of Love The Law
+ Saudi women are demanding an end to patriarchy.
Can this GPS system navigate to a misandrist island or not
Saudi women activists have petitioned the country’s consultative council to back a demand to curb the “absolute authority” of male guardians over women in the kingdom, a signatory has said.
Activist Aziza Yousef told AFP news agency on Sunday that “rights activists have petitioned the Shura (consultative) Council on the occasion of the International Women’s Day [on March 8] demanding an end to the absolute authority of men over women”.
They demanded “measures to protect [women’s] rights,” in their petition to the Shura Council, she said.
+ George Will thinks LGBT people need to stop being such “sore winners” by bringing stress on their homophobic counterparts, and in the moment when he said this I heard an audible womp womp.

Tim Gunn Sucks Too
Tim Gunn is “conflicted” about including trans* models in fashion campaigns. I am conflicted about the positive emotions he stirred up in my life prior to this moment, in which he became dead to me.
By The Numbers
+ Teens with lesbian parents have higher self-esteem, fewer behavioral problems, and better hair. I have numbers to assert the first two claims are true, though.
+ Survey Says: there has been a rapid increase in support for gay folks since 2003, meaning that full-on world domination is right around the corner.
Deeply Moved
She4Me: the longest marriage equality PSA you’ll ever feel entirely compelled to watch.
You forgot Hannah Hart was invited to meet with THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. And looked snazzy doing it.

We, as a community, need to stop stressing out our homophobic oppressors. Think of all the pressure were putting on them. Asking them to be slightly decent human beings is a lot of work. Its not like our lives or general well being depends upon their behavior, or anything. Lighten up y’all.
ugh. george will. and i used to read him religiously in high school…i was also a registered libertarian so there’s that unfortunate situation as well
such a bummer about Tim Gunn. I loved him…
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE GABRIELLE CHRISTIAN AND NICOLE PACENT OMIGOD IT’S LIKE A REAL-LIFE CROSS-SHIP THAT I NEVER KNEW I NEEDED AND WANTED AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
#SpAster?
How can we support the Saudi women activists?
And can Perez Hilton go away already?
Carmen, if I could find you I would want to help with both of these things.
Came here because I thought Saudi women were pissed at Paula Deen. Left disappointed.
Andrej Pejjic’s answer to Tim Gunn is spot-on and also contributes to maintaining my delusioned belief that Andrej is my secret boyfriend.
“+ On Happy Endings: gay people deserve romance novels, too.”
I may have clicked the link expecting a tie-in gay romance novel for the tv show Happy Endings. I would have bought that harder than I had bought the slash board game.
