Every Friday, I roundup some of the best flotsam and jetsam that comes into the tip box but doesn't make it into a full post. Here's what I've got to share this week.
- STFU Gays. Offensive or hilarious? You decide.
- Senators in California approved a bill late Wednesday that recognizes gay and lesbian marriages performed outside the state prior to November 5, 2008.
- PFLAG, the Ohio Democratic LGBT Caucus [PDF], and the Kentucky Fairness Campaign endorsed the National Equality March this week.
- Women are disproportionately affected by DADT. While women make up 14 percent of Army personnel, 46% of those discharged under DADT in 2007 were women. Lt Col Lissa Young was forced to resign her commission and permanent assignment as a West Point professor directing leadership education.
- What vegans can learn from the gay rights movement's successes.
- Next Tuesday, September 15, the Metro Nashville Council will hear the proposed non-discrimination ordinance on third and final reading. If you live in Nashville, contact your Council member today.
- Obama heckler: 14 things you need to know about Republican Rep. Joe Wilson (SC).
- The story behind a kitchen magnet.

Have you heard of Homoshame? (http://www.homoshame.com). It's the same premise as STFU Gays (and Parents and Marrieds, both also on Tumblr) but with random photos instead of a focus on Facebook.
And since I'm talking about blogs, I may as well pimp my own work, hearts for dinner (http://heartsfordinner.wordpress.com). Tommorow I begin my 13-part ANTM recap series! :D
The Vegans article has caused quite a stir since its rather insulting to trans people.
For blogwhoring, well, of course!

FUN, JOYFUL, PLAYFUL, SEXY (do yo think they can tell I like it?)
Western WA. Action Alert:
