Bill Clinton may have signed Doma when he was president, but he's adamant that it needs to be overturned. He admits it was a different time, but also that signing it wasn't something he wanted to do, but felt necessary to head off a constitutional amendment against marriage equality. "When I signed the bill, I included a statement with the admonition that 'enactment of this legislation should not, despite the fierce and at times divisive rhetoric surrounding it, be understood to provide an excuse for discrimination.' Reading those words today, I know now that, even worse than providing an excuse for discrimination, the law is itself discriminatory. It should be overturned."

Kevin Kline, Tom Selleck kiss, In & Out Following my Valentine's Day post featuring lots of male-female kisses and embraces (and a few shapely legs, bare breasts, and sensuous lips, courtesy of, respectively, Silvana Mangano, Clara Calamai, and Jane Russell), here's the gay/lesbian version. This Gay Kiss Montage post was originally published in June 2007, when Turner Classic Movies ran a couple of dozen films featuring gay/lesbian/bi/etc. characters as part of their Screened Out series. Created in late 2006 by Robert Eldredge, the video was inspired by the finale of Giuseppe Tornatore's Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award winner Cinema Paradiso, in which Jacques Perrin watches clips — kisses, hugs, embraces, nudity, sensuality, expressions of human desire — that, decades earlier, had been cut from the films screened at his Italian village's old movie house. The local Catholic priest had found those bits of celluloid harmful to the town's morals and family values.

Sean Hayes, who famously played the over-the-top sidekick on NBC's "Will & Grace," told — well, strongly hinted to, at least — The Advocate that he's gay.
He joked throughout the interview, saying, "That song! So romantic for our interview!" when a Frank Sinatra tune came on. He later said — after the interviewer ordered the same dish he did — "It must be a gay thing: the pasta with chicken. It's all the craze!"
He was a little more straightforward when he said, "I am who I am. I was never in, as they say. Never."
Hayes also took the gay media to task for criticizing actors who aren't 100 percent open about their sexuality. "I feel like I've contributed monumentally to the success of the gay movement in America, and if anyone wants to argue that,...
