Unfortunately the hangover we woke up with after last night's Amendment One madness won't go away by taking four Advil downed with a Bloody Mary back. Thanks to the Amendment One campaign congratulating god on contributing to the amendment's passage, our eyes have rolled so far back in our head we can count just how many precious hair follicles we've lost to the demonization.

Until then, we have a wrap up of the morning after North Carolina enshrined anti-gay discrimination in its Constitution.

You're just reading a lot about Will & Grace this week thanks to Vice President Joe Biden's shout out during Meet the Press. During the interview, Biden referred to the show as being responsible for changing America's attitude towards the LGBT community. Now, after the plug, every single bitch from Will & Grace is coming out of the woodwork to take a bow, including controversial creator Max Mutchnick, who has used the platform to call out President Obama.

So, what did Mutchnick—who will sign his campaign checks to Joe Biden from now on—say that has left some of Obama's LGBT supporters up in arms?
