The Obama administration's amicus brief, filed last week, shot down what's being described as a "key" argument on the part of congressional Republicans in the Supreme Court's Defense of Marriage Act case. 

Lawyers defending DOMA on behalf of Congress argue that because same-sex couples cannot become accidentally pregnant, they do not need access to marriage. 

Legal brilliance in action.

The Obama administration's brief asking the Supreme Court court to overturn California's Prop. 8 makes some interesting legal arguments. 

While it doesn't go so far as to call for marriage equality across the country, it does make the claim that any state that currently allows civil unions should, in essence, be legalizing same-sex marriage in order to avoid a "separate but equal" standard.

The Chupacabra known as Ann Coulter unhinged her jaw and devoured a room full of Libertarian students during a question and answer session with John Stossel on FOX. 

Mind you, we didn't see that; we just figured it was safe to assume that it happened. 

Coulter did, however, respond to questions on her opposition to same-sex marriage (along with providing commentary on how we live in a socialist welfare state and implying that we should declare war on Syria??).

Watch after the jump.

Indiana lawmakers have decided that they will not put the question of whether or not to institute a state constitutional ban on the legal recognition of same-sex couples to voters via referendum this year.

Could it be because social conservatives are afraid that they'll lose?

The lovely Julianne Moore took home a SAG Award this past weekend for her role in Game Change, but we may be partial to her performance in The Kids Are All Right. (What? We like stories about same-sex parents. Sue us!)

It should come as no surprise that Moore is a staunch supporter of same-sex marriage and she touches on the subject in an interview with the UK's The Sunday Times Style Magazine
