Join us as we gape open-mouthed at Senator Roy Ashburn’s homosexual 360, and think about the ramifications of observing Memorial Day while DADT is still in effect. Also, a new gay travel site, a…

i think some people are happy almost all the time
i don’t know how to quantify emotion
i think there’s something out there worth getting for everyone
for me i don’t think that thing is ‘happiness’
you just have to figure out what it is for you, and then run after it, or at least try to jog up to it sometimes
i think basically you just can’t, unless you try maybe a quick Affrin blast first
i do, but i haven’t used it in eons, maybe in over a year. i think my username is probs autowin?

Chely Wright was interviewed last week on Ellen, gets teary, talks about Ellen’s Mom, and we take a look at why Ellen’s show has been so important for out celebs, and why Ellen, like Oprah, succeeds…
This isn’t a sex tape, really. It’s that thing we talk about that happens to our young women. That thing that we, as grown-ups, write about and research incessantly and condemn broadly, but don’t remember so vividly. It’s right here on video…
It’s that space where young women have discovered and perfected their sexuality and its value, but haven’t yet figured out how it’s empowering. They just know that it’s something people want from them; it’s something people expect from them. Something young men expect from them; something, perhaps, that young men haven’t learned how to ask for politely. It’s uncomfortable and new and everybody’s learning, and what happens, more often than not, is that the male partner’s desires come first and more forcefully, and the young woman is disrespected and disempowered and left with a sense that she’s less valuable and less capable of demanding respect and control than her male counterpart - a sense than lingers into her twenties and beyond, even though she might not recognize it as such.
You should not be turned on by this. You should be pissed off.
This isn’t rape - not even close. And Kendra’s not even unhappy the whole time. But you can tell who’s in charge; you can tell who’s in control. It’s made clear. Kendra’s requests are completely ignored; she’s totally disrespected here, naked and exposed.
So the next time some enterprising journalist wants to wax poetic on “what’s happening to our daughters” - to cite studies and surveys and books upon books - maybe she could take ten minutes and watch the Kendra Wilkinson sex tape. What’s happening to them is right here, right on video.
