LGBT-friendly British leaders have promised same-sex marriage for England in 2013. They're promise gets one step closer to reality today as marriage equality gets a date for a debate in the Parliament: February 5.

The Stonewall Democrats condemned the Log Cabin Republicans' endorsement of Mitt Romney in a just-issued harsh critique. 

So, what does the Stonewall Dems have to say?

Apparently Minnesota Vikings punter, Chris Kluwe (see how knowledgable we are about football now? We know the positions and everything!) will be going full Eastwood on us tonight in Minnesota.

The out-spoken gay rights advocate will be participating in a debate on marriage equality opposite "empty chair," much like the legendary filmmaker at the Republican National Convention. 

The difference in this case is that we're thinking Kluwe will actually win the debate. More after the jump!

The news coming out of France that hits us early this Friday morning may be slightly disheartening, but we're not going to let it a little delay dampen our almost-weekend moods, are we?

Move over, Mariah! Step down, Madonna! Take a backseat, Beyoncé!

We're living for this gem culled from a Romney gaffe statement about women's rights to equal pay for equal work.

We sure were waiting for Obama to take Romney to the library. And while that may not have happened, Obama did come out fighting this time around, and, yes, ladies and gentlemen gentler ladies, the gloves were off.

In case you were still on the fence on whether or not to tune in to tonight's second presidential debate, we've got news that may make it must-see TV or get-me-the-hell-outta-here TV—depending upon where you fall on the pendelum of…well, stud.

We've learned that MTV is partnering with CNN to try to snag the youth vote. How? Teen Wolf hottie, Tyler Posey and Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino from Jersey Shore.

We rarely get this excited about two women being in the same room, but when those two women happen to be our out-lesbian superheroe Rachel Maddow and Ellen DeGeneres we pay attention!

Our girl Rachel visited Ellen on The Ellen DeGeneres Show for rousing discussion on the Presidential (and tonight's Vice Presidential) debates, same-sex marriage and, of course, Gangnum Style.

Check it out after the jump.

Minnesota Vikings football player Chris Kluwe is continuing on his quest to be named our athlete of the year (we don't actually name an official "athlete of the year," but if we did he'd be in the running)!

He's challenged anti-marriage equality Minnesota House Rep. Mary Franson to a debate.

Popular Pastor Joel Osteen appeared on CNN Thursday morning for quite the round-table alongside the Richard Socarides that turned into what should've been an Aha! moment for the man of the cloth. 

Hate group leaders and former Dbag of the Day crown holders Peter LaBarbera (of the Americans for Truth About Homosexuality) and vehement anti-gay activist "Pastor" John Kirkwood have decided that Dan Savage won the Bible/same-sex marriage debate against their homophobic colleague, Brian Brown. 

But why? 

Shocker: Brian Brown's thick head didn't absorb any new Biblical perspective or opinion about same-sex-helmed families after being invited into Dan Savage's home. In fact, he somehow emerged from the dinner and debate even more anti-gay and twisted than before.

So, what is Brian saying in the wake of the long awaited Bible debate with Dan Savage?
