Prop 8 - The Musical
News Hounds —
As Fox has been doing a lot of "reporting" on those evil, liberal, anti Prop 8 protestors, expect to see some Fox criticism of this great video which pokes fun at those who supported Prop 8 - in addition to suggesting what can be done to bring folks together. You'll see Jack Black as Jesus, with Margaret Cho, Maya Rudolph and a few other famous faces who seek to destroy America as we know it.

But that is not the most interesting thing about this clip, from Funny or Die, called "Prop 8 -- The Musical." I eagerly await the day when 3-minute musicals become a major forum for debate about public policy. Just imagine: "TARP -- The Musical," "Stem Cell -- The Musical," and "Defense Appropriations Subcommittee -- The Musical." ...

Oh, look, not only is Blackwater a private army, but they're getting their navy going, too. Novak on whether he would out Plame if he could go back in time: " I'd go full speed ahead because of the hateful and beastly way in which my left-wing critics in the press and Congress tried to make a political affair out of it and tried to ruin me. My response now is this: The hell with you. They didn't ruin me. I have my faith, my family, and a good life. A lot of people love me - or like me. So they failed. I would do the same thing over again because I don't think I hurt Valerie Plame whatsoever." (Translation: "I would betray my country ...

Johnathan Wilber: Milk: It Does a Revolution Good
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
If you see one film this year, see Gus Van Sant's Milk -- if not for Sean Penn's and James Franco's phenomenal performances or Danny Elfman's score or a beyond-engaging history lesson, then see it to be inspired as you haven't been in years.
Something is stirring in the gay community. Maybe we're banking on Barack Obama's momentum. Now that hope is no longer a nostrum so easily met with easy guffaws, it seems like just a hop, skip, and a walk down the wedding aisle for gays.
It's a bit like that famous children's-book story: If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, the mouse is going to ask for a glass of milk. In this conceit, the cookie ...

Surging Support for Gay Rights & Proposition 8: The Musical
The Moderate Voice —
Newsweek:
[T]he latest NEWSWEEK Poll finds growing public support for gay marriage and civil unions — and strong backing for the granting of certain rights associated with marriage, to same-sex couples.
Americans continue to find civil unions for gays and lesbians more palatable than full-fledged marriage. Fifty-five percent of respondents favored legally sanctioned unions or partnerships, while only 39 percent supported marriage rights. Both figures are notably higher than in 2004, when 40 percent backed the former and 33 percent approved of the ...

Earlier this month we witnessed the Shoes Heard 'Round the World, when Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zeidi chucked both of his shoes at President George W. Bush during a Baghdad press conference. This prompted a slew of articles helpfully explaining that al-Zeidi was expressing anger at Bush -- as though his gesture had somehow been open to any other interpretation. When this ...
Stewart Huckabee Marriage Interview a ‘Top Gay Video of 2008′

Here’s #4 in 365gay’s Top 8 gay videos of 2008…
Separately, and significantly, David Bianculli named the Daily Show #1 in his Top 10 TV List of 2008. And when Terry Gross asked on Fresh Air recently if he could give an example of how the comedy shows have demonstrated a new model for the political interview, Bianculli said the Huckabee interview was a great example:
Mike Huckabee was promoting a book, but Stewart was more interested in talking to him about his political stance. And this was - usually the Jon Stewart segments - the interviews are one segment and a few minutes ...

Margaret Cho: I Refer To Myself As Gay, But I Am Married To A Man (VIDEO)
The Huffington Post | Full News Feed —
In an interview with Edward Lewine, for the "New York Times Magazine," Margaret Cho said about sexual politics:
"I refer to myself as gay, but I am married to a man. Of course, I've had relationships with women, but my politics are more queer than my lifestyle."
Cho, who has spoken openly about both her heterosexual and homosexual relationships in her routines, grew up in San Francisco in the '70s and '80s and credits the gay men and drag queens she knew there for teaching her how to be herself and be brave. "If it were not for gay men, I would not talk to men at all...I am heterophobic," she said in her comedy special "I'm The One That I ...
Slideshow: The State of Gay Marriage
The New Republic —
Washington D.C. (1 of 9) On Tuesday, the District of Columbia's city council introduced a bill that would authorize same-sex marriages within its boundaries. According to the Associated Press, the measure "appears unstoppable"garnering support from most council members, the mayor, and a lack of opposition from the Democratic Congress. Depending how you count, that would make D.C. anywhere from the fifth to the eighth U.S. jurisdiction to legalize gay marriage. Click through this TNR slideshow for a rundown on the places where same-sex marriage is legal, potentially legal, and no longer legal.
