Woman, golf and weight-gain all in progress on Monday, April 30.

Last week LA Times sports writer Christine Daniels came out about her transition from male to female. Now you can read about the questions she’s been fielding since coming out, thoughts clamoring her brain and why she likes soccer over baseball in her new blog aptly titled “Woman in Progress: Christine Daniels on life changes [...]

Midnight gossip for Friday, April 26.

Is she or isn’t she queer? The web was all abuzz with news that Michelle Rodriguez, best known for her spot on Lost, came out as bi or lesbian to Curve magazine. Michelle Rodriguez is denying any interview with Curve. Sites that took the ball and ran – AfterEllen.com, Wikipedia.org, MonstersandCritics.com, LatinoGossip.com…. the list goes [...]

Cheers and hisses for Thursday, April 26.

Here’s something to cheer about; New England is an LGBT friendly region in the US. New Hampshire lawmakers have said yes to civil unions! Is it marriage? No. Is it a step closer to being viewed as equal? Yes. Let’s celebrate! LGBT rights in the Midwest… In Iowa, lawmakers there have given the nod to [...]

Lots of unbearably stupid for Wednesday, April 25.

Do you smell a double standard? Radio show duo JV and Elvis at WFNY in New York got yanked after first being a part of an on-air prank call to a Chinese restaurant and using racial slurs, of which I won’t repeat. While I agree that they should have been yanked off the air, I’m [...]

The dreary, the tagged and the gross for Tuesday, April 24.

More bad news for women. This week the news about women has been a bit dreary. This article about American Indian women being more likely to be raped is not just dreary but makes you cringe and cry at the same time. The report comes from Amnesty International which says some of the reasons include [...]

Bush Fatigue for Monday, April 23

Are you tired of Bush? No, not that kind of bush. The kind that runs the country into the ground and makes us all feel fatigued of being lied to, cheated on and sent to war. By the description, it sounds like a relationship with a wife-beater. Well, George H. W. Bush -  you know, [...]

Soliciting your opinion for Friday, April 20.

Today’s Digest will be aimed at the media and it’s consumers. The man who so cruelly murdered so many at Virginia Tech sent a package to a media outlet, who aired it then received – and is still receiving – the backlash. Two sides of the story here: air the contents of the video as [...]

Late edition for Thursday, April 19.

Lesbian “gang” found guilty. Four New Jersey women were convicted of assault on a straight guy. The trial went back and forth between the women saying they were defending themselves and the man saying they savagely attacked him. At the very least, maybe men will think twice before cat-calling and objectifying women lest they find [...]

Digest overload for Wednesday, April 18.

Today is National Day of Silence which was set up to protest discrimination, harassment and abuse faced by queer students. Expect a slew of stories covering events in schools around the country commemorating the day and its mission and of course how some conservatives are opposing the day’s activities, starting with this story from 365gay.com.

Jesus, firefighters and celebrities for Tuesday, April 17.

Hey, did you do your taxes? Ok just making sure. In Indiana, Jesus is going on record that he is no bigot with the help of billboards and the local Metropolitan Community Church. Indiana is staring down the barrel of the process to amend their state’s constitution barring same-sex marriage. Jesus (MCC) was non too [...]
