Homeland Secretary Janet Napolitano told the press pool today that her hands are tied by DOMA when it comes to binational same-sex couples.

The Associated Press Stylebook—basically the journalist's Bible—has implemented a few controversial LGBT-specific "clarifications" in the past five months that have left many in the community appalled. The latest update to its guidelines suggesting that journalists refrain from using "husband" and "wife" when referring to married same-sex couples has spurred at least one couple in California into action. 

Wedding photographer Anne Almasy purchased a half page ad in Weddings Unveiled magazine, only to have her submission (the photo above of a lesbian couple on their wedding day) rejected by the publication.

Just in case there was any confusion, Mitt Romney is still very much in favor of a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. 

He also doesn't consider pesky things like, oh, being able to visit your same-sex partner in the hospital to be civil rights. Those are "benefits" and according to Romney they should be determined by the states.

Awesome. Details after the jump.

House Democrats are applying necessary pressure to the Obama administration to ensure that binational same-sex couples are protected from deportation.

As it stands now, a foreign same-sex partner of a US citizen has virtually no protection regarding whether they're forced to leave the country based on immigration laws.

House Reps, including Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats, want President Obama and his Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano to change that—in writing.

The always classy Arizona Governor Jan Brewer (who's proven to be anti-pretty-much-everything) has shifted her focus to the gays in a particularly nasty way.

Zach Wahls, the Iowa college student that became interweb famous after eloquently speaking out in support of his two moms, has shot down a controversial, newly released study that alleges that children raised by gay parents will be negatively affected in the long-run.

The study, which shockingly (read: not shockingly) has funding ties with the Family Research Council (an anti-gay hate group) confuses causation with causality. Wahls and Slate's Will Saletan argue that the data found by the study actually points to the idea that children raised in a stable two parent/same-sex partner home have no noted negative outcome.
