Follow the jump to watch.

On the heels, well, sensible flats, of Iowa Family Leader's atrocious anti-gay (and racist) presidential pledge, the National Organization for Marriage has issued its own homophobic hate pact, and, unsurprisingly, the three most-bigoted GOP presidential candidates wasted no time to sign it and pledge their awful allegiance. Details follow. 

A fascinating article appears in this week's New York Magazine highlighting the work of "pulchronomics" expert and labor economist Daniel S. Hamermesh. In his new book, Beauty Pays, Hamermesh finds correlation between universal attractiveness and income, and, conversely, between "ugliness" and its economic cost. So, how much does Hamermesh claims it costs to be found "unattractive" in our modern culture?

National Organization for Marriage lead bigot Maggie Gallagher has predicted/threatened/invoked blood shed following the start of equality in New York. Details and video follow.

A newly-blonde Katy Perry (so not feeling this hair color on her!) lead the VMA nomination pack yesterday when it was announced she's up for nine Moonmen. Though at first she expressed excitement and anxiety over the multiple nods, later the pop stah took to Twitter to give a shout out to a handful of gay-dored artists she feels were snubbed in the process. So, who does Katy Perry think got snubbed in this year's MTV Video Music Award nominations?

The so-called National Organization for Marriage continues to be good sports about New Yorkers finally having marriage equality. Just kidding. Check out NOM's newest campaign after the jump.

This morning, plenty of gaydored Hollywood folk woke up to news that they might be hugging giant golden globes close to their chests (not a Sofia Vergara joke) come September as this year's Emmy Award nominations were announced.

Coming through with his promise, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg today donated the maximum ceiling of $10,300 to the GOP state senators who voted for marriage equality last month. 

If she had the fitness and stamina to peform a little jig, National Organization for Marriage's Maggie Gallagher would likely be doing just upon learning that the family from Sister Wives is officially suing the state of Utah for polygamy rights. Details follow. 

Brian Brown, head of hate-group the National Organization for Marriage, broke down in tears after first word that his organization's push for hate and anti-gay discrimination in New York had lost to the side of love and equaltiy. 

Unsatisfied that all New Yorkers now have equal access to marriage rights under the law, the National Organization against Marriage, oops, for Marriage, has unveiled a three phase strategy that hopes to place discrimination, hate and bigotry back in the state within four years. So, what's the hate groups plan?

The National Organization for Marriage isn't having such a great week. It's bad luck continued last night when the bumbling head of the hate group appeared on MSNBC's The Ed Show to ramble off his usual bullet points of terrorism (god hates gays, kids will die from marriage equality, etc.) in a celebrity death match with the good Rev. Al Sharpton. So who wins the debate on NY marriage equality?
