37 U.S. Senators have sent a letter to President Obama asking him to issue an executive order that would put the Employment Non-Discrimination Act in place.

This would protect LGBT employees from discrimination by federal contractors.

If there was any residual hope or growls still rumbling in your stomach after last month's claim that Chick-Fil-A would stop proselytizing chicken sandwiches with anti-gay donations, those should all fly the coop after a new interview with the chain's president Dan Cathy.

Guess it's the egg, not the chicken, that came first, and it's unfortunately all over the faces of the equality fighters attempting to help Chick-fil-A evolve.

Chicago Alderman Joe Moreno is trying his best to remain diplomatic but has obviously lost patience with Chick-fil-A in the wake of the fast food chain seemingly breaking the pro-LGBT contract he says they signed off on last week.

Updated Thursday, 2:45 p.m. PST

Following through on a promise they made in 2010, a group of San Francisco Bay Area Gold's Gym franchises have ended their contractual affiliation with their parent company, following payments made by the company's CEO to anti-LGBT conservative organizations.

They have now formed a new franchise group called Fitness SF.

Clearly, they understand that a gym with no gays is a church with no congregants.

After a dispute nastier than Tom and Katie's, DirecTV and Viacom are officially no longer BFFs. Early Wednesday, the satellite cable provider dropped all Viacom channels (including Logo, Comedy Central and MTV), and RuPaul isn't having it. 

Even though it's off-season, Momma went and opened the library for a special Olympics-worthy session of reading, darlings. Unlike RuPaul's glammed-up Ke$ha look circa 2009, it ain't pretty. 

Follow the jump for the Logo crown jewel's demand for a rupology from DirecTV! For the unfortunately affected gay DirecTV subscribers, it might be the last look at Ru's ferociousness you get for awhile. Wah-wah.

So, how did Carney explain the White House's election year tactic that keeps nearly 16 million Americans at risk of losing their jobs for being gay?

Isn’t there something to be said for the element of surprise?

Spoiler alert: A gay couple plans to confront President Obama regarding a proposed Executive Order banning workplace discrimination by any federal contractor on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.

And they’re going to do it at the White House Easter Egg Roll!
