I Love This Bollywood Star's Approach To Dealing With Questions About What Being Gay Means

I'm Not Crying, There's Just A Major Victory For Civil Rights In My Eye
by Staff •
On Nov. 6, 2012 Tammy Baldwin made history when she became Wisconsin’s first female senator and America’s first openly gay senator. The crowd cheers for the former at 3:27 and absolutely loses its mind at 4:00 when she mentions the latter. And her giggle when the crowd is still cheering 20 seconds later is pretty…

Fox News Endorses Straight Marriage, Falls Into A Gay Marriage By Accident

On FoxNews.com, a person with some poorly thought-out ideas defended “traditional marriage” in a tired, unoriginal essay.

But as far as any of us are concerned, gayness has always…
