Hello, pringles! I’m in Vancouver with my lady love and it’s the best. Happy Sunday Funday! Here’s to a day of really good brunch and even better babes.
Billie Jean King: President Obama’s “Big Gay Middle Finger”
Kate McKinnon’s SNL sketch about Billie Jean King and the Sochi Olympics is basically making the Internet pee itself a little from laughing too hard. I think it’s evident early on why that is.
Keira Knightley Loves Feminism
It’s true! She even told Bazaar.
“I think it’s great that the discussions are finally being allowed to be had [about feminism], as opposed to anybody mentioning feminism and everybody going, ‘Oh, f***ing shut up,’” says Keira Knightly, 28, in her cover interview with Harper’s Bazaar for the February Issue. “Somehow, it [feminism] became a dirty word. I thought it was really weird for a long time, and I think it’s great that we’re coming out of that.
Knightly, whose forthcoming film, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, is the latest reboot of the Tom Clancy books about CIA agent Jack Ryan, says that she is often the only woman in a cast and quite often she finds herself “walking into a room, and talking about why my character is saying this, but I’ll be talking about it to a room of five guys. I’ve lost most of the arguments.”

Russia Gets Gayer
FINALLY. A member of Vladmir Putin’s United Russia party has taken a stand against the nation’s anti-gay laws.
“I want to ask you — there probably aren’t that many platforms where we can talk about this today,” Maksakova said. “I’m not against our family values, but couldn’t we take ‘non-traditional’ out of this law through amendments? And expand the law, so that any harmful propaganda of a sexual character to minors became inadmissible.”
“I am ready to put forth this amendment,” she said.
Alabama Gets Gayer
Semmes, Alabama accidentally trolled itself by hiring a gay male cheerleading squad to perform this year in their annual Christmas parade. And I literally cannot stop laughing. GO PRANCING ELITES, GO!

Ireland’s Taoiseach may not think gay rights are like, the most important thing of all time, but he still plans to actively campaign for gay marriage in the upcoming referendum.
