When Cuba Gooding, Jr.'s father (presumably Cuba Gooding, Sr.) visited the set of Jerry Maguire, he gave Tom Cruise a big hug and said "I love you, man. Now seriously, are you gay or not?" Thankfully, Tom just laughed and said "No" rather than his customary $100 million lawsuit.
While everyone was focused on New Jersey passing marriage equality yesterday, in my home state of West Virginia, Del. John Doyle introduced a civil unions bill in the legislature that is an "everything but the name" bill. In all honesty, I'm unsure how I feel about that – we have a statute defining marriage as a man and a woman, not an amendment, and we can't pass a nondiscrimination law. This may not be the attention we want. Still, yay, us!
Also locally, Stephen Skinner, head of Fairness Wv, our only Glbt organization, resigned today to pursue a candidacy for the House of Delegates.

Plus Chris Hemsworth's god-like codpiece, my Maggie Gallagher encounter, and Sofia Vergara's breast are protected by God.
Let’s start off my late Meme with news from the Spurf™. He’s peddling a comment that the new Glee star Chord Overstreet gave him that while he may compete for Finn’s solos, he won’t necessarily compete for Rachel, because there are a lot of single people on the show. Cue the Kurt speculation. This would actually be awesome, because Chord is a country singer, and his dad is a major deal in Nashville. We could use some gay country representation on the male side, even if it’s fictional.
In the same piece, the Spurf™ says that while he doesn’t know which 90210 hunk is coming out of the closet (even if we think we do), whoever it is will soon be making out with Broadway vet Kyle Riabko,...
