Today on Autostraddle: Robin shoots Swedish glam-rock band The Sounds and their hot bisexual singer Maja Ivarsson, with special commentary from Carlytron about The Sounds’ Secret Show!
And! Introducing The Friday Autostraddle Roundtable, where the Team (and — in the future — special guests!) sound off about one of the week’s hottest and most ridiculous gay-themed stories from the “mainstream media.” This week we look at “Could Adam Lambert be the first Gay American Idol?“, a Reuter’s news service piece that’s been making the front-page rounds.
If there was an award for “bizarre graphic employed by mainstream news organization” of the week, ABC‘s would win, hands down totes, for “Kelly McGillis is the Latest Late-in-Life Lesbian.” Take a gander:
Marlee Matlin has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Probs for “Origami in Steel.” (@showtime fan)
A Celebration of Butch Voices. (@sugarbutch)
THE HIPSTER GRIFTER SPEAKS! And it’s the same old song … (@gawker)
GayWired asks Keith Lewis, one of the state directors for the Miss California USA organization, what the F*ck is going on:
“We have done everything in our power to limit the confusion in the market place about who is speaking these words and that it is not Miss California, but Carrie Prejean.”
Nine things Lindsay Lohan should do to save her career (@the daily news)
Rising Star Haviland Stillwell glitters, and is gay:
Curve Magazine continues its tradition of constant, neverending coverage of The L Word (Hey, Pot, it’s us! Kettle! You’re so black!) this month with a Pam Grier coverstory and Daniela Sea confession:
Sarah Haskins in Target: Woman, may or may not have the swine flu:
How You Like Us Now?
Yesterday’s final tally was 23.
Maine’s same-sex marriage bill is on the up and up. +50
She’s just bein’ Miley, and the conservative groups don’t like it one bit. Pam explains: Evil! EVIL!! Miley Cyrus Preaching That God Loves The Gay People! The Sin Of It All! –5
The Gays Are Out for Blood in Iowa. Here’s their video about how homosexual marriage hurts families. Because of AIDS. You know what else hurts families? The video editor who kept horizontally flipping the screen for no apparent reason. A horizontal flip does not a solid edit make. -10
“People are more comfortable with ignorance“: In military, new debate over policy toward gays. -5
I can’t wait to beat up Virginia. -10 (Even if she said she “chose her words poorly.“)
Total: 43. (Not too shabby! Gay marriage conquers all!)
from Carly:
Hey, have you heard? Hulu is the king of the world! No srsly. Disney just announced that it’s going to be offering its content on Hulu now as well, making it so that STUPID CBS is the only major network not on Hulu. Hulu is also the 3rd most watched video site on the web, losing only to YouTube and MySpace.
from Alex:
I found New York Magazine’s Celebrity Twitter Approval Matrix kind of cute and interesting. (Though I’d like to edit/add to it a bit… *cough* Cat Cora *cough!*)
