Florida Lt. Governor Jennifer "I don't look like a lesbian" Carroll has apologized for her first line of defense against accusations that she had an affair with a female aid.

So, what does the Lt. Gov. have to say about claiming she's 110% heterosexual simply because "women that look like" her aren't lesbians?

Attorney's representing John Travolta have basically won the lottery! More fire flaming the fuel of the A-Lister's gay "scandal" has emerged courtesy of that bastion of troof, the National Enquirer, which is reporting that John's former secretary has confirmed his hidden homosexuality. 

Those poor, hardworking souls who were pink slipped without warning by Out editor in chief Aaron Hicklin have another chance to rejoin Here Media: if they're not selected for the alleged freelance work Hicklin has been so proud to offer, maybe they can reclaim their editorial gigs by landing one of Out's just-listed unpaid internships.

Log Cabin Republicans, who admittedly are in need of a candidate—any candidate—that’s conservative and not spewing anti-gay vitriol have put their eggs in Sheriff Paul Babeu's basket.

You remember Sheriff Babeu, right Instincters? He allegedly threatened to deport his gay Mexican lover if he revealed their relationship. He also ran the Massachusetts boarding school where students levied accusations of sexual abuse, and Babeu was accused (by his sister) of having a relationship with a 17-year old student.

Well apparently Sheriff Babeu's electoral funding sources have shockingly dried up, so it's the Log Cabin Republicans to the rescue!

You won't believe what you find after the jump...

I risk being damned to hell 70 years ahead of schedule by including Oprah and the word desperate in the same sentence (she has the connections to make it happen, I'm sure), but that's the reality for mortals living in the Media Messiah's world. Though only Oprah and the Pope are considered infallible, it appears that the former is becoming concerned about her empire, if a rule-breaking command she issued to her followers on Sunday is any indication.

Another day, another conservative republican who's built a career on "family values" has been forced out of the closet by gay scandal. This time, it's Southaven, Mississippi Mayor Greg Davis joining the ever growing ranks of self-hatingly-gay right-wingers. Details follow. 

Eddie Long, the anti-gay Atlanta pastor who paid off young men accusing him of religious-based sexual coercion, is about to be back on the market, ladies! Long's wife Vanessa has reportedly told her lawyers to file for divorce from the homophobic hypocrite. Details follow.

In another misguided "won't somebody think of the children" story for the week (see Tuesday's Manhunt billboard debacle), the Boston Fox news affiliate has decided to "expose" a well-respected and celebrated area teacher for having appeared in a handful of gay porn films in his past. Details follow.
