Every gay gather up those crumpled dollar bills usually reserved for venti low-fat lattes (or in our case, for go-go boys), and let's take up a collection!

Politico is reporting that the former Secretary of State will begin making speeches for a fee as early as this spring.

The Rush Limbaugh train continues to run further off the rails.

The dangerously erroneous link between homosexuality and pedophilia isn't new, but now Limbaugh is arguing that the "pedophilia movement"--if there legitimately is such a thing--could follow a trajectory similar to that of same-sex marriage. 

Basically, though many may have thought at one point that same-sex marriage was a strange thing that would never happen, the legalization of pedophilic relationships could follow the same track. 

See what Limbaugh has to say after the jump.

Send a round of applause to Maryland which has sealed the deal to join Maine as one of the first states to approve marriage equality by way of a popular vote. NBC News has joined Politico and the Washington Post to call Question 6 a winner in the state. 

According to NBC News, Marylanders have approved Question 6 which would make the state law granting same sex couples marriage rights official!

Congratulations, Marylanders!

The gays will play a role during the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina and it sounds like the execution of that role will be very specific.

Jan van Lohuizen, the pollster for George W. Bush's 2004 re-election campaign, sent out a memo to Republican operatives encouraging a change in the GOP stance towards same-sex marriage.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry hasn't yet officially tossed his cowboy hat into the ring of 2012 GOP presidential candidates but, according to Politico, his wranglers (his team, not his jeans) are already ready to fight against a national re-airing of the gay rumors that have circled his tenure. 

Is he still your “fierce advocate”? According to new developments, it appears that he still is for many in the LGBT community. Details after the jump.

And growing support for pot! Gotta love being lumped in with that one, huh? Details after the jump.

When asked by Politico's Ben Smith about rumors that he's fearful of Dems outing him, Senator Lindsey Graham goes on a vile tirade from a fantasy world where gay men find him attractive.

“I know it’s really gonna upset a lot of gay men — I’m sure hundreds of ’em are gonna be jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge — but I ain’t available. I ain’t gay. Sorry.”

An article in Politico today arrived at the positive surmation that marriage equality is still inevitable. Ever the Grinch, National Organization for Marriage's Maggie Gallagher has taken to the interwebs to opine on why she thinks the opposite holds true. My favorite stops on Maggie's bullet points includes No. 3 and 4:

2. Young people are not as unanimous as most people think.
