Major cable news networks have once again ensured that most Americans don't realize gay men are still being murdered for being gay men. This week, Mark Carson was shot in the face in New York City by a man who allegedly lofted gay slurs his way before pulling the trigger. But viewers of Fox News and CNN probably wouldn't know that. 

This year's Super Bowl was a game changer. For the first time in recent memory, the millions who tuned in for the Beyonce concert and her opening act (the Baltimore Ravens) came face to face with not one, but two glorious commercials featuring half-naked ripped men: David Beckham and Calvin Klein's Matthew Terry. 

Twitter practically imploded. 

Never one to miss an opportunity to spit out hateful nonsense that defies all logic, Westboro Church whack job Fred Phelps, Jr. decided to attribute yesterday's tragic tornado in Oklahoma to God's punishment for the gays.

The blame game over at E! continues as E! President Suzanne Kolb has officially reached out to the writers of Fashion Police via email requesting that they end their strike.

Kolb argues that's not the case. Check out her letter after the jump!

The season two trailer for the gay webseries, Where The Bears Are has dropped and things are definitely getting...hairier.

Hindsight is 20/20, they say, but LGBT folks in Dallas certainly breathed a sigh of relief that failed city council candidate Richard C. Sheridan lost his bid for a place in government after they realized the kind of bigot bullet they just dodged. 

In a profanity and slur-laden message left on a reporter's voicemail, Sheridan said, "You sir are a cunt, bitch, coward ... you're a propagandist for the sodomite," -- a reference to Sheridan's openly-gay City Council opponent. 

Details follow. 

The men of The Wanted stopped by The Kyle and Jackie O Show (Australian radio) and gamely responded to Lance Bass's theory that at least one member of every boy band is gay.

Did doctors act recklessly when they performed sex-assignment surgery on an intersex child in the foster care system?
