Jack Antonoff of fun. joins “Americans for Equality”

The newest video in HRC’s ‘Americans for Marriage Equality’ campaign featuring fun. guitarist and vocalist Jack Antonoff.

Fun’s “We Are Young (Feat. Janelle Monáe)” is the highest-selling single so far in 2012.

Says Antonoff:

“Hey! I’m Jack Antonoff from the band ‘fun.’ Touring around the country my bandmates and I are completely blown away by the love and support we get from our fans. And it’s completely insane to us that some of them aren’t afforded the same rights simply because they’re gay or lesbian. Join me, my band mates and the majority of Americans in the fight for marriage equality nationwide.”

Approximately 53% of the American public supports marriage for same-sex couples, according to a number of nonpartisan polls, including Gallup, CNN, and Washington Post/ABC News.

Target launches Gay Pride 2012 T-shirt line


In a partnership with the Family Equality Council, Minneapolis=based retailer Target is selling a line of Gay Pride-themed T-shirts online this year, which grew out of “a grass-roots effort among employees and the company’s LGBTA (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and allies) Business Council”, according to a Target spokeswoman.

From The Star-Tribune:

Ten T-shirts are now featured on Target’s website with gay-friendly themes. Two feature a design by rocker Gwen Stefani, who has her own line of kids’ hipster clothing called Harajuku Mini at Target. The Stefani design reads, “Love is love.” Each Pride T-shirt sells for $12.99, all of which will be donated to the Family Equality Council. Donations are capped at $120,000.

Just two years ago, Target was under fire for its donations to MN Forward, a Republican PAC supporting anti-gay candidate Tom Emmer.

Members stand behind pastor’s anti-gay sermon

Parishioners of Pastor Charles L. Worley of Providence Road Baptist Church support his view that gays deserve to be killed.

Quoting the Bible, Worley’s flock tell reporters they fully support him and that gays should be killed. Worley twice this month called for the mass murder of the world’s homosexuals by airlifting and dropping all “lesbians” and all “queers and homosexuals” into an electrified fenced-in area so they can die out.

“So he had every right to say what he said, about putting them in a pen, feeding them. The Bible says they’re worthy of death. He only preaches the word,” says Geneva Sims of the Pastor’s plan to kill gay people. Sims is a parishioner of Pastor Worley and fully supports him.

Another supporter, Stacey Pritchard says, “Sometimes you gotta be scared straight.”

Anderson Cooper cuts Botox Mother’s interview short

Anderson Cooper was talking to a mother on the “Human Barbie” episode who helps her daughter administer Botox so she doesn’t sweat. There was discussion of Beyoncé sweating or not — as if the diva was a defense.

But Anderson was having none of it. He paused, looked at the woman and said “I try to be polite to all of my guests, but I think you’re dreadful. And I honestly don’t want to talk to you anymore,” the talk show host said.

And that was that.

Thoughts?
