Rhiannon Argo released her new book, “Girls I’ve Run Away With,” this month. Judge the book by its cover because is that a great title and photograph or what?

Conservatives are after Republican Liz Cheney for her 2009 statement on MSNBC in support of extending benefits to same-sex couples. Their response is a smear campaign, but what everyone is calling an attack ad just made us kind of want to vote for her! [pinknews]
The Internet has gone a little bit “Crazy” over an interview comment in which Britney Spears called gay people “adorable and hilarious.” While that does sound a little condescending, it has been taken out of context all over the web, because she was talking about friends of hers specifically, and not gay people in general. But feel free to weigh in on the debate; everyone’s entitled to her opinion. [slate]

LGBT advocate Janelle Monae released her video “Primetime,” which tells the futuristic story of two people meeting and falling in love at a cyber-driod night club.
