LGBTQ news and entertainment
Tennis legend Billie Jean King returns to The Colbert Report to discuss the upcoming Sochi Olympics, and her role as an official member of the U.S. delegation.
King said she isn’t planning a protest “but if the media asks me a question, I’m gonna answer it!”
Rick Santorum stopped by the Stephen Colbert show last night to discuss several topics: his new Christian based movie studio, the state of the Republican party and his thoughts on marriage equality.
Just a few of the choices lines Colbert delivered:
Colbert: “You’ve got these 15 states plus the District of Columbia that are riding the rainbow train to helltown right now,” Colbert said, sparking a smile from Santorum. “Hasn’t this one slipped away from us?”
Santorum: “I think the real problem here is marriage has slipped away from us. Marriage has devolved into just a romantic relationship between two people. And that’s not what marriage is.”
Colbert: “No, it’s for transferring property,” Colbert joked.
Watch the exchange below. Marriage equality comes into play about the 5:00 mark.
Stephen Colbert’s Government Shutdown Wedding of the Century
After Colbert pronounced the couple husband and wife – “by the power vested in me by the state of New York and the entire Viacom family of entertainment networks,”
And for the first dance, the couple was serenaded by five-time Tony Award winner Audra McDonald singing Billy Idol’s White Wedding.
Legit performances of pop songs always get me. And when you can deliver like Audra, it’s just a comedy home run.
Stephen Colbert “worries” on the repeal of DOMA:
“Traditional marriage is now as defenseless as a freshman frat pledge about to go through the spanking machine….If DOMA is unconstitutional, that means the Constitution is gay.”
Funny stuff…
And here’s Stephen purposely discombobulating the Prop 8 decision:
Classic Stephen Colbert/The Colbert Report on gay rights.
Good comedy is based in reality.
Funny, funny stuff.
Stephen Colbert hosted Randy Report favorite and marriage equality advocate, Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe last night. Colbert made a point of addressing Kluwe’s use of the term “lustful cockmonster” to describe a Maryland lawmaker in an Op-Ed piece last fall.
“Why would you support gay marriage? You are in the most hyper-masculine sport in the world. Okay? Football players are about a thousand miles from gay. Men in tight pants patting each other on the butt. Nothing gay about that. Get that butt out of my face. Get it out of there!”
They also address video game World of Warcraft and troll-on-elf marriage.
In response to the Donald’s preposterous $5 million offer to President Obama for his passport and college records.
Colbert just kills me…

In his ever brilliant way, Stephen Colbert explains the science behind how the gays created Hurricane Issac to ruin the GOP National Convention.
Michael Leisner has really made it!
After his “protest gone wrong” video (where he set fire to the front lawn of pro-equality company General Mills) went viral, Michael Leisner has now found himself featured on Comedy Central’s Colbert Report.
p.s. his over-dramatic, ill-conceived and illegal action led to his being fired by his real estate office.

Stopping by The Colbert Report to discuss hosting The Tony Awards for the third time, Neil Patrick Harris is comedy gold with Stephen Colbert. I literally laughed out loud. Enjoy…
