This is according to the 2011 Hate Crimes statistics.

Color us confused, but didn’t Frenchie Davis come out earlier this summer? (Hopefully we’re not looking at another Nicki Minaj situation here...) After telling the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that she is in a serious relationship with a woman back in June, this week Frenchie released the video for her new track, “Love’s Got A Hold On Me,” where she seems to be holding on pretty tight to a (pretty hot!) man.

So what gives? Follow the jump and see for yourself?

Lana Del Rey has released the video for "Summertime Sadness" and she's serving up some haunting sapphic-loving.

The song's pretty lovely, as are Lana and her co-star Jaime King.

We're digging the grimy vintage style of it all, but what do you think?

We'll let you decide after the jump!

Is the average American tax payer aware that Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner keeps using their tax dollars to pay independent lawyers to defend the Defense of Marriage Act (after the Obama administration refused to), even though they lose EVERY TIME DOMA is brought under judicial review?

The mind boggles.

Anyway, DOMA has once again been ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge, this time in the case of Edie Windsor who was forced to pay a $353,053 estate tax bill after the death of her wife.

If her marriage had been recognized by the federal government the tax would not have applied, hence showing the discriminatory aspects of DOMA. More after the jump!
