If I had just glanced at the Chill Chatter coloration and design, I would have assumed it was some kind of maxi-pad support community.

On Richard Florida's House o' Lies
Does it even need to be said that Richard Florida is not to be taken seriously on the subject of city-/society-planning? At least show us the courtesy of naming yourself "Richard Maine."

On Obama Still Hates Gay Marriage, No Matter What You Want to Think
@turd_sandwich Yes, because that's something that literally takes a stroke of Obama's pen to put into effect. The DOJ and Labor departments apparently have already done the administrative work that the executive order would require. I've said this over at AmericaBlog Gay, but it's pretty clear--from this White House's actions--that they view LGBT citizens as a liability except when we want to fight their wars or have our checkbooks with us. All that means is that it's our job to force them to care about our causes, which is what's happening with this backlash.

On Obama Still Hates Gay Marriage, No Matter What You Want to Think
@La Cieca Yes. Marriage is a creature of state law. I would accept Obama's continuing "evolution" on marriage in exchange for the ENDA executive order.

On Obama Still Hates Gay Marriage, No Matter What You Want to Think
As far as this administration goes, there is never going to be a right time for advancing LGBT civil rights. They wanted to do DADT repeal in 2011, which means it wouldn't have happened. That's why it's important to keep the pressure on this White House, despite how "unpragmatic" that may seem to some. We have to insist on our rights, or nothing will change.

@DoctorDisaster That weird celebrity profile in the NYT definitely doesn't help.

On Channing Tatum Causes Reflection On The Rapid Approach Of Death
I forced myself to watch both 1) that Korean man dancing (pretty good!) and 2) Honey Boo Boo (bad and sad) just so I could keep up with the kids these days. I'm 41, and I'm too old for that, really. P.S. Please send the gay version of Alex Balk to the Berkshires immediately.
