Garden State Equality release two new commercials that are currently running in New Jersey since Tuesday’s elections… Well, they definitely seem New Jersey-y… What’d you think?

Good Morning Philadelphia! It’s another day… (Well I guess “technically” I took that photo yesterday morning, but you get the point… New days happen everyday. Mostly… No, they do.) I guess he’s ignoring the part about Comcast being a shitty company. I think we can all learn a little...

I know I don’t generally blog about Britney Spears, but there is just something about this girl… Hhhmmm… It just seems so wrong that she’s still a celebrity or something. That she’s still coming out with new albums. I mean just look at this video. If she’s this awkward...

Seriously though how did that fucking balloon boy get more media attention yesterday than the tens of thousands of GLBTQ that marched in D.C. for equality last Sunday? Really?! Is this a sign that in our Joe-The-Plumber media age, protests just don’t cut it anymore? Do we need to...

While the Daily Show is generally pretty fucking amazing, last night’s opening segment “CNN Leaves It There” was so masterfully researched and executed, I watched it 3 times. Literally.

Almost a year into Obama’s first term and we still have “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”, we still have D.O.M.A., we still have states where it is impossible for gay families to adopt children, we still have hate, and we’ve run out of patience. I understand “change” takes a little...

I’m not really sure how I came across this Tweet, it’s probably because I follow 2,000 people in Philadelphia, but… Really “DarK2Knight“? No, really?! I STRONGLY encourage Philly’s GLBTQ couples to hold hands, to sit between each others legs, to kiss, to hug, to look longingly in each others eyes, to be...

Two things I thought after watching Lady Gaga and Madonna’s skit on SNL… 1. For two crazy dramatic live performers, that skit was mad flat and awkward. And, 2. Did Lady Gaga really call herself a “music icon”? Really Gaga?! I love you and all but you’ve had one album…...

The fifth and final single from Ladyhawke‘s self-titled debut album is out… I love this bitch, but 5 singles from 1 album? Who do you think you are, Beyonce?! (Did I just get gay on y’all?) Not that I don’t like the video, but seriously… Make some new music miss...

Philadelphians gather to protest a proposed state wide “Art Tax” that would introduce a 6% tax on nonprofit arts and cultural organizations… Um, y’all don’t even tax chewing tobacco, which last time I checked was bad for people. But you want to tax art programs that go into already struggling...

Girls first album titled, well… “Album”, just got released last week and it’s the most seriously perfect end-of-summer music I’ve been listening to.

This new PSA for bikers in New York City is meant to help promote Biking Rules, which is, and I quote: “A new Street Code for NYC cyclists, following the simple principle that our responsibility to others on the street increases in relation to our potential to cause harm.” Hhhmmm… Really? Red lights are meant to stop cars....
