The 2013 Golden Globes had so much going for it: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler becoming the best hosts the Globes have ever seen; the SNL alum takeover of Hollywood; Jennifer Lawrence minting a new line of sassy t-shirts with her "I beat Meryl" acceptance speech; Lena Dunham finally ascending to her rightful throne. But with all the Girls making it one of the best Globes ever, it was easily Jodie Foster's raw non-coming out coming out speech that will make this awards broadcast one for the homo history books.

LGBT across the far reaches of the Internet are understandably fawning over First Lady Michelle Obama's empowering and tear-jerking opening night speech on Tuesday in Charlotte. But a few other LGBT-laced addresses are worth pixelated headlines, too.

President Obama hosted an LGBT Pride Month reception yesterday at the White House.

We were totally invited. We were just busy. Had plans. Things to do. Totally couldn't have made it even if we wanted to...

Anyway, he hosted a reception and it looks like it was wonderful and he gave a pretty amazing speech that made us feel truly valued as equal American citizens. 

Not that we wanted to be there to see it or anything.

Watch it (and/or read the transcript) after the jump!

If there remained any LGBT unaware of the leaps and bounds marriage equality achieved across the country this week, they wouldn't have learned about any of it from President Obama during a pricey Thursday night fundraiser! Why? The President refused to go anywhere near marriage equality's huge progress, deciding to instead champion himself for dismantling "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and loosely reference the American value of "fairness." See the extent to which Obama pats himself on his back in front of LGBT who paid $38,000 per person to hear him speak, after the jump!

Hmmm, perhaps the National Organization for Marriage's Maggie Gallagher didn't really think through attending a benefit performance of Dustin Lance Black's 8 on Monday night. (Maggie doesn't really think through much in life.) Details follow.
