It’s official (for now) that the state of Connecticut recently overturned Civil Unions, finding that they do not provide the same rights as Marriage, according to the Boston Herald. The Connecticut Supreme Court ruled 4-3 that the protections were not equal, and will become the third state in the nation to begin same-sex marriages.

Congrats to all who live in the the great state of CT.

A man in Fort Myers shot himself twice in the arm after being denied sex by his girlfriend. Yes, it’s true and reported by the Asbury Park Press <if interested in the full story, click here>. It seems he wanted to get a little nookie, and the girlfriend wanted to get a little sleep. He got angry, went into the other room, and shot himself in the arm…which, frankly, makes no sense to me.

As noted by readers of this story, he should have shot himself in the foot if he wanted to be all dramatic…I mean, your arm can be kind of useful if your partner isn’t putting out, you know what I mean?

Optimus Prime demonstrates my meaning:

I don’t care who you vote for, or what party you’re in, but you have to admit that the first Presidential Debate was one of the more boring things you’ve experienced. I found myself thinking I should have sex, just to stay awake and hopefully absorb some of it in the background. In the end, I just couldn’t have intimate relations while the future president watched. 

It was too much, even for me. Bottoms-up to a more interesting match-up tonight.

Recently treated for depression, Heather Locklear was recently arrested for Driving Under the Influence. It seems that she is being accused of having some “controlled substance” in her, according to TMZ.com.

…you think?

Okay, this is getting embarassing. There are many countries I’d like to think shouldn’t be passing us up on the equal rights laws, and I’ve been astonished as they have. I watched as South Africa passed us up - South Africa? 

Well, now you can soon add a new one to the list of countries waving their gay flags a bit higher than we are…Australia. 

According the 365gay.com, the Same-Sex Entitlements Bill just passed the lower house, and will:

“…remove discrimination against same-sex partners in areas such as immigration, taxation, veterans’pensions and aged care. It also abolishes discrimination against children of same-sex couples by granting equal rights to both parents.”

This is getting old..and just plain sad. On a happier note, I love kangaroos. So while I’m trying not to focus on the fact that my relationship doesn’t count for squat in the country I pay taxes to…I’m going to think of a beautiful Kangaroo hopping across the beach at sunset…wow, it’s like I’m really there…

Steven Spielberg and his wife, Kate Capshaw, are donating $100 grand to stop Proposition 8, the initiative that would stop same-sex marriages in California. They released this statement, according to Ok Magazine:

“By writing discrimination into our state constitution, Proposition 8 seeks to eliminate the right of each and every citizen in our state to marry regardless of sexual orientation. Such discrimination has NO place in California’s constitution, or any other.”

That’s the kind of old dude (and wife) a lesbian can get a little damp for.

Two days ago, I saw Sarah Palin from about 100 ft away. She was wearing red leather. There was a motorcycle present. Think I’m lying? It’s all true. My girlfriend went out to a rally nearby just to scope her out (it sounds creepier than it was). And while you might not vote for her, might not like her politics, etc…I can almost assure you that you’d likely spend the night with her. She’s charming, and surprisingly attractive. 

While I was present solely for the “fantasy” portion of the event, I have to tell you that the most touching part was not the action in my pants (oh the stories they could tell), but the unbelievable presence of those with disabilities that arrived to see Sarah Palin. Maybe I’ve lived a pretty sheltered and lucky life, but seeing so many people who are usually “invisible,” really made me think. 

While we can debate over policies and programs - who is better, Democrat or Republican - for me, it was fairly clear that people with down syndrome, palsies, and numerous other disabilities feel like they finally have a voice….

I expected to come away with a few lewd stories, a pic with Palin (which didn’t happen) for the blog, and some funny stuff. Instead I was pretty dumbstruck by the amount of people who are out there that I never usually  see. I know that lesbians have a history of invisibility, and watching another population finally come out of the shadows a bit was touching. 

I know, it’s all emotional and stuff -  I’m getting my period soon.

Here’s a pic of the Orange County Chopper guys showing off their motorcycle…I told you it was there. Though, admittedly, this is not my pic. 

Remember when J.Lo was all mad because the media was talking about that swimmer guy (Michael Phelps) instead of her training for her triathlon? Well, her time in the sun has come after completing the Malibu Triathlon. Here she is looking happy, surrounded by Cameras and soaking up the paparazzi love.

I think, as a girlfriend, J.Lo would be WAY too high-maintenance for me. However, the wetsuit and her amazing backside might convince me to to stick around a bit.
