This must be the week for father and son letters. We already cried over the Daddy Blogger's letter to his hypothetical gay son, and now Huff Po's brought another letter—this time from son to father—to our attention.

It's a gay man's plea to his Republican father not to vote for Mitt Romney, who openly opposes marriage equality and has stated his support for a Constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.

Check it out after the jump!

Sir, is that a gun in your pocket?

41-year-old Jonah Falcon was packing some seriously heavy artillery when he went through security at San Francisco International Airport on July 9.

One lucky (or unlucky, depending on your tastes) TSA officer had to do a pretty intensive pat-down when the man with what's being called "the world's largest penis" made his way through security.

We love us some Shannen Doherty. (We're Team Brenda fans from waaayy back.)

She may have started out as a misunderstood 90210 hellion (we prefer to think of her as a badass), but this diva never lost her place in our hearts.

Well it turns out the gays have a permanent place in hers as well!

Check out the highlights from Shannen's interview with HuffPo as she does the promo rounds for her new reality show, Shannen Says, after the jump!

So International Kissing Day isn't until July 6, but as The Huffington Post so aptly pointed out, "National Kiss Day" is a trending topic on Twitter.

We're not the type to rain on someone's tonsil-hockey so by all means, get to kissing!

HuffPo has put together a slideshow (with VIDEO people!!) highlighting 25 of the most talked about same-sex kisses.

Since today's a fake national holiday and all, we implore you to observe it by taking a look after the jump.

We previously highlighted 2011 Instinct Leading Man Carl Siciliano’s open letter in The Huffington Post to Cardinal Timothy Dolan (New York’s Archbishop), regarding Dolan’s stance on marriage equality, the LGBT community, and his church’s impact on LGBT youth. Siciliano invited Cardinal Dolan to meet with LGBT youth, so as to better understand the impact of the Church's actions.

Cardinal Dolan has since responded to Siciliano’s letter and he appears to have his manties in quite a twist.

Thankfully the always eloquent (and HOT, did we mention hot?) Siciliano refuses to let Cardinal Dolan off the hook.

Check out Dolan’s response and Siciliano’s rebuttal after the jump.
