The Pentagon has released a statement following the uproar caused by their apparent ban on LGBT-related websites. 

See what Pentagon Press Secretary George Little has to say after the jump!

It's that time of year again when we drink too much and fight with our families take a little time off for the holiday! But don't worry, we'll be back on Wednesday, Dec. 26, with your favorite gay blog coverage—plus the start of Instinct's Top 10 of 2012!!

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas, Instincters! We love ya!!

Were you guys aware that there are no gay students at Patrick Henry College in Purcellville, Virginia? 

Not one. Currently or previously. 

How do we know? Because the evangelical college's Chancellor and Founder, Dr. Michael Farris says so! 

Check out his explanation after the jump.

Are you as excited as Human Rights Campaign President Chad Griffin about the wins in Maine and Maryland (and, hopefully, Minnesota and Washington)??

The blog that brought Chris Kluwe into the heart of the LGBT fight for equality and gave us such unforgettable hits as "lustful cockmonster" will lose out on "six figure page visits" per week after the hunky hero put in his resignation. Details follow. 

The National Organization for Marriage's Ruth Institute published an article Wednesday that compares gay couples who use surrogates to have kids with sexual predators who rape women. Seriously. 

Were any Instincters fans of "The Great Cock Hunt"?? It was a blog that ran from 2005-2008 and charted the sexual exploits (in graphic detail) of a single gay man in New York City who used the pseudonym, "Alex."

We may have perused it back in the day. (We always hoped Alex could make it work with "King Kong"!!)

Anyway, the blog inspired a book by the same name, which has now apparently inspired a web series called Hunting Season and we're excited to see it!

Check out the trailer after the jump!

Scary stuff. Our beloved Rosie O'Donnell (she may or may not be beloved to you, but she's beloved to us!!) had a heart attack last week and in her words was "saved by a tv commercial/literally."

See what she posted on her blog, today, after the jump.

Daddy blogger John Kinnear  was so incensed by the dad who disowned his gay son in a letter that went viral on Wednesday that he decided to write a letter of his own. Only this one's much different. 

Restock on tissues and follow the jump to read "Dear Hypothetically Gay Son."

Fumbling through deflection in a way that would make her mother proud, Bristol Palin has responded to the recent uproar over her son Tripp's use of an anti-gay slur and her subsequent giggle fit.

Bristol "sets the record straight" after the jump.

Stans.

Nothing makes us happier than seeing fans stan out over their fave, which in 99.9% of cases tends to be a pop diva.

OMG Blog brought this video to our attention and we're DYING over it.

Beyonce covered Whitney "Nippy" Houston's "I Will Always Love You" and mashed it up with "Halo" during her return concert at the Revel casino in Atlantic City.

To say the least...Beyonce stans (and Whitney's??) approve. Watch the hilarity after the jump!

Bristol Palin has now tasted what some of the countless LGBT she denigrated last week suffer through their whole lives after criticizing Obama's support of legal recognition for gay-couple-helmed families. Though it's always a head scratcher when a bully throw a tantrum after being criticized for their bullying ways, a few of the comments posted to Bristol's blog entry do take it way too far.
