This was the week that all your Ellen Page questions were answered. Well, at least if your only question was “who does Ellen Page go to Whole Foods with?” But what about your other most beloved young queer celebrities? For instance, what’s Raven-Symoné up to? Honestly, we have no idea. But hey, we can take some guesses.

Hello, doodlebugs! This week I started drawing again so I finally bought a Moleskine sketchbook — I wanted to see what all the hype was about. Turns out it was actually a good purchase because I am filling it with lots of lovely pictures! Here’s the news we missed while I was at the art supply store.

We Won A Thing, With Some Qualifiers: Federal Judge Rules Idaho’s Same-Sex Marriage Ban Unconstitutional

We Won A Thing, With Some Qualifiers: Federal Judge Rules Idaho’s Same-Sex Marriage Ban Unconstitutional

image

Today Idaho became the latest state with a ban on same-sex marriage to have it declared unconstitutional by a federal judge. Four same-sex Idaho couples had filed a lawsuit against the state, and Judge Candy Dale ruled on the side of their argument that banning same-sex marriage violated the rights guaranteed by the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the constitution. Sue Latta and Traci Ehlers, Lori and Sharene Watsen, Shelia Robertson and Andrea Altmayer, and Amber Beierle and Rachael Robertson, the four couples who are plaintiffs in the lawsuit, have a range of experiences: two of the couples are already married, but in other states, and Idaho refuses to recognize their marriages; two couples are raising children together. As long as no higher court intervenes, the state can no longer enforce any laws that restrict same-sex couples from marrying, nor can they refuse to recognize marriages from out of state.

DeAnne Smith and “Playing” it “Cool”

DeAnne Smith and “Playing” it “Cool”

Listen. People are going to try to tell you to play it cool with girls. I’m not about that. I say go the other way. I say play it hot. Don’t be afraid to be the last one to text. Don’t be afraid to be the first one to text. Did you have a great time on that date? Tell her. Don’t wait. Text her while you’re still out with her. Text her before she gets out of the car. Text her before the date. Pre-text. That’ll make a statement. Text her before she even gives you her number; text her before you meet her. Be original. Be bold.

Orphan Black Episode 204 Recap: Governed As It Were By Chance

image

Hey Clone-Alones, welcome to the recap of the fourth episode of Orphan Black! So many people died and then came back to life this episode! It was just like The Walking Dead, only with characters I give a shit about.

We pick up right where we left off last week, with Sarah waking up from her horrendous car wreck. She sees Daniel unconscious, and grabs his gun. She is immediately joined by Cal, who decided that the best way to save Sarah was to smash his car into her car. Ugh Cal, THAT’S NOT HOW YOU SAVE PEOPLE.

14 Locations Conducive To Lesbianism According To 1954’s “Female Homosexuality”

14 Locations Conducive To Lesbianism According To 1954′s “Female Homosexuality”

image

Last week at Treehorn Books in Santa Rosa, I came across yet another volume from my favorite genre, “faux sociological studies of human sexuality that say crazy-ass shit about lesbians.” Female Homosexuality: A Psychodynamic Study of Lesbianism, was written by Dr. Frank S. Caprio, the esteemed “co-author of ‘Sexual Deviations,’” another undoubtedly delightful edition chock-full of facts and measures. Unlike the faux-doctors who authored most of the books in this genre under false pseudonyms, however, Frank Caprio appears to be a real doctor. His later work focused mainly on self-hypnosis.

Defense Secretary Sorta Open to Kinda Revisiting Military’s Ban on Trans Troops

United States Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said in an interview Sunday that the military’s ban on trans people is a complicated issue, but one that “continually should be reviewed.” His statements could lead to big changes for the estimated 15,450 trans service members who were left in the closet when the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell repeal allowed gay and lesbian soldiers to come out in 2011.
