There are some laws in existence that don’t make sense to me and even some that I flat out disagree with, but I understand that it’s my responsibility as an American citizen to follow said laws. After all, if a bunch of people just started to ignore laws they didn’t understand or thought were asinine, chaos would ensue after awhile.

And if this makes sense to me, a mere citizen of the United States, one would think that it’d be a no-brainer for the U.S. government, but …

Well, it’s not.

Connecticut’s Carmen Cardona, an eighteen year Navy Veteran and a lesbian married to her “longtime female partner”, has been denied spousal disability bennies for her wife …

Jincey Lumpkin (I’m assuming that’s not her real name, but awesome if it is) thinks so. And if not a lesbian, at least a woman. The self-proclaimed “Hugh Hefner of lesbian porn,” Lumpkin started the lesbian social networking site Digiromp.com in 2008, and recently moved into creating lesbian porn on Juicy Pink Box notable for its absence of “gay for pay” sex. Though Hefner’s empire doesn’t call to mind anything much more than soft-core imagery most of the time, Lumpkin says:

“To me, Playboy is the brand that has really transcended pornography and has represented an enviable lifestyle.”

She aims to become just as powerful for women who like women, and on some level, make that lifestyle equally ubiquitous. Lumpkin believes …

Black Swan Trailer Promotes Girl-on-Girl Action Over Plot

The trailer for Darren Aranofsky’s much-anticipated new film, Black Swan, was released this week. And I’m disappointed. This summer has sucked pretty hard for movies, and I’ve been hoping desperately that the fall was going to bring a sweep of much better films to make up for it. But apart from Never Let Me Go and Harry Potter, Black Swan was the only project on the horizon that looked promising. It looked like a taut psychological thriller with not one, but two female leads.

Aranofsky is the mind behind The Wrestler, The Fountain and Requiem for a Dream.  Of those three, I’ve only seen Requiem, and felt like it was one of those movies that …

CBS Receives a Flunking Grade From GLAAD

After receiving a flunking grade from GLAAD for the lack of LGBT representation on their network, CBS has finally decided to throw some gays into the mix.  When I say throw, I literally mean throw.  The outcome: random gay characters written into clichéd roles.

This is the second year in a row that CBS has flunked GLAAD’s responsibility index.  The group’s index studies networks for diversity and inclusion of LGBT characters, and CBS received the lowest grade out of all major networks, scoring a lowly 7%, which was largely thanks to its reality programming.

“For several years,” GLAAD said in the study, CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler “has publicly promised greater LGBT-inclusion in scripted programming and has consistently failed to deliver.”

In response, Tassler was quoted as saying, “We’re disappointed in our track record so far, [and] we’re not happy with ourselves.”

As a result, CBS has responded by hastily penciling in three gay characters to their upcoming fall line-up.   The highly-rated …
