My immediate thought upon hearing this story!

What if the pa's run off, the mom's real sick, and the baby's gonna starve to death?

The fact that people can't stand by and just let people, especially gay people & their allies, freely criticize Lady Gaga is why this site exists.

Oh, I'm almost certain she would have pulled the exact same Naomi Defense. "Diamonds? What diamonds? Oh, those weird pebbles that the mysterious warlord's henchman woke me up to give me in the middle of the night? Those?"

I think, at worst, all this could backfire and these children could end up rebelling against their parents by choosing to conform to gender norms when they get older. Or they could just grow up to be super radical gender-benders. Either way, it doesn't seem like the kind of thing that could carry serious consequences…

I had some thoughts along these lines while reading this, but to be fair, it's arguable that in an attempt to raise their children with certain values (as all parents do), all parents might be performing social experiments to some extent, no?

Wow. The idea that you can lose 22 years worth of relationships, learning, basic and advanced life skills all because of a poorly secured ceiling fan is terrifying! When I was 16 a coffee-table-sized chunk of plaster ceiling in the slummy apartment my mom & I had collapsed on me while I was sleeping, and I still get…

Those "Disappointing Gay Best Friend" clips are my new Internet Laff Obsession.

I want to know if I'm the only one who doesn't care, since "Express Yourself" was lifted from the Staple Singers' "Respect Yourself".

Yo country's so backwards, they still think Paul is dead!

I hope Thomas Conner is familiar with Gays Against Gaga.

Yo country's so backwards, they edit Saved By the Bell to make Slater sit forward!

Wow — that's so awesome! Stories like this, I think, are one of the main reasons I've found it hard to dislike Oprah despite a lot of the (sometimes well-deserved) criticism she gets.

"This condom looks so much better on you than the free one I got from that fishbowl downstairs! WURQ!"

That's a close contender. It's too perfect to choose a favorite, really.

If nothing else, I really do hope Oprah keeps up the Favorite Books thing. I don't care if a bunch of people are only reading 100 Years of Solitude because Oprah likes it — it means a bunch of people are reading 100 Years of Solitude!

I think the crying lady is my favorite.

Even better: A story that Charles Taylor gave her blood diamonds.

Is it me or do that pose & bracelet make her look like she's some kind of wrestler who's wearing a suit as a gimmick, and in reality she's about to enter the wrasslin' ring?

Seriously. Hasn't Newt already left his fellow GOP politicians a road map of what to do when you suck at marriage? Obviously he and his wife should have said that she left him for another guy because they both loved America so much, and then remarried when they realized that their overbearing Love of America meant…
