Your Sally Bowles put Liza’s to shame. And her’s was really good.
From Gawker:
Richardson is perhaps best known for her ferocious turn as Sally Bowles in the Roundabout Theater Company’s dark production of Cabaret that ran on Broadway in 1999. She won a slew of awards and acclaim, including a Tony, but megastardom didn’t exactly follow.

I guess they’re telling. From Think Progress:
Yesterday, a group of West Point alumni came out of the closet in order to form Knights Out, an LGBT alumni organization pushing for the repeal of the ban on gays serving openly in the U.S. military and hoping to serve as an “open forum” for LGBT alumni and [...]

From The Stranger:
Jesus didn’t have anything to say about homosexuality—but, as it turns out, he had quite a lot to say about figs. From a flyer handed out at the Westboro Baptist Church’s demonstration at the University of Chicago earlier this week:

Not surprisingly, Jonathan Rauch and David Blankenhorn’s NYT op-ed on finding a compromise on the issue of gay marriage inspired a few Letters to the Editor. In fact, today’s entire NYT letters page is devoted to them:

Is ‘Marriage’ Subject to Compromise?

From Reuters:
LONDON - An anti-gay U.S. Christian preacher and his daughter have been barred from entering Britain as they could spread “extremism and hatred,” the British government said Thursday.
The Rev. Fred Phelps, founder of the Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas, had been due in Britain to protest at a play about the murder of a [...]

Jonathan Rauch, a man I greatly respect on this issue, thinks there is. From today’s NYT:

From WalletPop:
Remember when African Americans couldn’t drink from the same drinking fountains as whites? Remember when gay people couldn’t get married? Both scenarios sound so ridiculous.
Especially when you think about how much money is to be gained if same-sex couples are legally allowed to get married. Just look at the figures broken down by [...]
