They like us, they really like us!

Rising above the din of dissent emitted by groups like NOM and the AFA, a noise designed to distract Americans from their own evolutions, arrives an infographic courtesy of the Center for American Progress bearing a title that says it all: Marriage Equality is Now a Mainstream Value. 

Check out the full infograph after the jump.

Bryan Cranston—who causes us more anxiety during an episode of Breaking Bad than we’re adequately prepared to deal with—has come out in support of marriage equality. 

Joined by his wife, Robin, and their daughter Taylor, the Cranstons are speaking out as part of the Human Rights Campaign's "Americans For Marriage Equality" initiative.

This could actually be fun!

Buster Wilson, general manager of anti-gay hate group the American Family Association's more than 200 radio stations, has called for a boycott of Google following the planned launch of the "Legalize Love" initiative, which will combat anti-gay legislation around the world.

Buster accurately notes that this one will be tough, not only based on Google's status as the world's dominant search engine, but also because of the company's extensive technological reach (Android phones, Gmail, YouTube—all Google!).

We took yesterday's rumor that Adam Lambert was in talks to join American Idol as a judge with many (MANY) grains of salt rimming our happy hour margaritas. Luckily, to soothe our resulting headaches, Adam Lambert himself took the time to release an official statement about the gossip. 

So, what does Adam have to say?

American Idol is in need of some major creativity to get back on top of the karaoke show market, and playing musical chairs with the judging panel seems like the show's smartest move.

With contracts for the three current judges, Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson, still unsigned, unsealed and undelivered, the rumor mill is a churnin' today with gossip that Adam Lambert is in talks to replace Randy Jackson in a chair behind those over-sized Coca-Cola cups. 

There's been a national trend of African-American voters changing their opinion on same-sex marriage since President Obama came out in support of marriage equality in May, but according to a recent poll there appears to be a decidedly pronounced forward shift in Ohio.

A hero of the gay rights movement, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Dr. Richard A. Isay, died Thursday following a battle with cancer at age 77.

Our recycling bins are still filled with the seventeen-hauls worth of tissue boxes we cried ourselves through while watching Shane Bitney Crone's plea for marriage equality after the hell he endured following his late boyfriend's death. Now, Shane and a team of noteworthy producers are hoping to turn "It Could Happen To You" into a feature length documentary that'll undoubtedly turn an even larger audience on to the idea of full marriage equality.

A pretty groundbreaking meeting of the minds took place today on Capitol Hill. For the first time, the Congressional Black Associates met with the LGBT Congressional Staff Association in partnership with the FIRE Initiative of the Center for American Progress.

The subject on the table? Black LGBT Americans.

Updated 3:15 p.m. EST with responses from the American Foundation for Equal Rights and NOM's Maggie Gallager (after the jump)

David Blankenhorn of the Institute for American Values was supposed to be the "star witness" of the homophobes defending Proposition 8 before Judge Vaughn Walker a couple years back. But Blankenhorn's testimony didn't exactly end up being as bigoted as Team Prop 8 had hoped (he famously said that it would be in the best interest of children of same-sex couples to allow their parents to marry).

Now, after again confusing his fellow conservatives for opposing North Carolina's disgusting Amendment One, Blankenhorn has officially come out in full force for marriage equality rights. 

Not that we track past Instinct cover hottie Nick Adams's every move or anything, but word along the gayvine is that the cast of Broadway's Priscilla: Queen of the Desert will treat JFK travelers to a surprise free show on Thursday!

Remember Mark Regnerus' flawed study that proclaimed that children raised by gay or lesbian parents fare worse than those raised by heterosexual couples? (You know, the one homophobes will be citing for the next 20 years even though it's clearly baseless?)

Apparently the American Psychological Association (APA) saw it too and the APA wanted to make it very clear that they disagree.
