Gay Activist Lt. Dan Choi Tweets From Jail After Being Arrested In Moscow Pride March
Lt. Dan Choi, the LGBT activist and West Point graduate that became a media staple during the battle to repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, has been arrested in Moscow for attending a gay pride parade along with more than 30 other domestic and foreign activists.

New York Times Insults Lady Gaga by Redefining “Gay Icon”
Judy Garland is a “gay icon.” Her daughter Liza Minnelli also counts. Toss in Bette Midler and Madonna and Lady Gaga.

It’s Tough Being A Fashion Writer During A Global Disaster
You can sympathize with Guy Trebay, the incredibly talented fashion writer at the New York Times. With the news focused on Haiti and Leno/Conan, no one is all that interested in fashion, even with the debut of season seven of Project Runway. So you turn on the TV, catch Anderson Cooper carrying kids to safety on CNN in his tight, black t-shirt, and think: now there’s a story. It’s an interesting premise, but still, it all felt a little awkward.
