Chick-fil-A has released an official statement regarding all of the hoopla in recent days over their supposed change of heart over their anti-gay giving.

See how they've been "mischaracterized" after the jump.

The dastard attempt by homophobic activists in Washington state to put two confusing anti-gay proposals before voters has failed. Details follow.

Sad, sad day for our New York GLBT friends.

From the New York Times:

The State Senate defeated a bill on Wednesday that would legalize same-sex marriage, after an emotional debate that touched on civil rights, family and history. The vote means that the bill, pushed by Gov. David A. Paterson is effectively dead for the year and destroys the optimism of gay rights advocates.

The bill was defeated by a decisive margin of 38 to 24. The Democrats, who have a bare, one-seat majority, did not have enough votes to pass the bill without some Republican support, but not a single Republican senator voted for the measure.
