Daily Fix: I Hope My Cartoon Baby Also Sounds a Little Gay

Today on Autostraddle: Riese, Robin & Alex took a Saturday trip to Park Slope to photograph & interview Spectacularly Famous Celesbian Julie Goldman, star of The Big Gay Sketch Show, Offensive Women and your pants!

+Carrie Prejean will keep her crown … ‘til tomorrow, when The Trump will decide. Personally I’ve decided that Miss USA has probs officially shifted its mission statement’s focus from Beauty Pageant (snore) to Annual Scandal (newsworthy!). (@tmz & @queerty)

+Maggie Simpson speaks! And she sounds like Jodie Foster! You know what that means … (@daily mail)

+Women bullying other women in the workplace: serious problem. (@nytimes) Here’s a Team Autostraddle illustration of how that monkey business begins, also please note (in Photo #1) that Alex’s aggression is crushing not only Riese’s face, but Riese’s dog Tinkerbell’s svelte ribcage:

+ Shocker! Rose Troche also hated The L Word’s ending! (thanks to @mp4porter for the tip!)

+ President Obama and Wanda Sykes knock ’em dead at the White House Correspondents Dinner! I had to search high and low to find a writeup of this event that wasn’t about Rush Limbaugh! But I found it! (@entertainment weekly)

+ AfterEllen Hot 100: Riese & Carlytron win a million dollars in the unofficial office pool for correctly guessing the Top Five. BAM! Who’s hot now? (@afterellen)

+ Technology becomes truly awesome when it enables efficient political subversion like this: Sending Fundie E-blasts right back at ’em. (@Pam’s House Blend)

+ Happy Mother’s Day, Genderqueer Mommy! “Although people on the street tend to call you “sir,” around our house, you’re known as “mommy.”  (@Bilerico)

+ “I couldn’t have made this title up if I wanted to.” (-Intern Elizabeth) (and this is why, no matter what ever happens, like ever, we cannot stop loving Gawker, because they do what they do and they do it well): Teenager to be suspended for taking girlfriend to prom, dancing, and embracing Satan. (@Gawker)

+ Rupert Everett Calls Gay [Male] Parenting Through Surrogacy ‘Hideous.’ That’s neat. (@GayWired)

+ Paris Hilton lost Tinkerbell and it hurt, just like it hurt me when I thought I lost Tinkerbell a few times and felt real sad like oh she’s not a real dog etc. (@msn)

+ We gave you a LOT of sweet White House Correspondents Dinner photos this weekend, but here’s a few more late adds:

How you Like Us Now?

Last week we ended at: 108

+ Barack Obama will Not Repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell and McCain Says Military Gay Ban Repeal Unnecessary (@queerty) -20

+ Same-sex couples need more protections beyond ruling (@ Gazette Online) -5

+ Behind Larry Sirois’s decision to vote ‘yes’ on gay marriage in Maine: “I told them I was leaning toward accepting it, and that it was purely an issue of fairness, that I don’t agree with the gay lifestyle, but that these people deserve the same rights.” (@boston.com) +11

+ An unneccessary campaign against gay partners:

“A coalition of conservative groups filed Referendum 71, seeking a November vote to undo legislation that extends state-given benefits of marriage to gay and lesbian couples — almost everything but the name … Washington voters have much to manage: Many residents are out of work; others worry they will lose their jobs. Thousands of people have difficulty making ends meet … No one needs a campaign to stomp on legislation that doesn’t hurt anyone.”
