WOW...bombastic, influential, former GOProud-supporting, lies-spewing, right-wing editor and publisher Andrew Breitbart has died—of natural causes—at only 43. This is apparently confirmed, too. Can't say I will miss him, but it's quite a shocker.

Click here to see him furiously debating with Michelangelo Signorile on the issue of outing conservatives; this was just last week.

Dead by 43—he must've been gay. Because, as conservatives argue, that's about our life expectancy.

Take some time out to remember Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old kid who was targeted for his sexual orientation, beaten and left for dead 13 years ago today.

Whenever I hear GOProud-type gays siding with anti-gays in saying that hate crimes legislation is unnecessary, I remember cases like Shepard's and I can't help but think that while everyone is entitled to a difference of opinion, some opinions amount to selling out your own people and yourself.

With thanks to Dave for the tip: It's gross enough that LOGO would feature Ann Coulter on their new Dallas A-List spin-off—ratings are nice, but (1) will they even happen over such a stunt? and (2) she's as vile as any public figure this country has produced in the past hundred years.

But what's with this—LOGO's blog NewNowNext writes that she's "always been somewhat supportive of the gay community" before saying "politics aside," blahblahblah.

Dan Choi visits The Six Pack and discusses various topics, including his recently becoming ordained as a minister. (He's a born-again Christian but seems to refer to his ministry quite irreverently.)

On whether one of the first legal New York same-sex weddings might've been as emotional for the minister performing it as for the couple being joined in matrimony:

"I think so. I think for all of us who've been working so hard, we wanted that moment to say, 'We're finally equal in this aspect.'"

The six pack...before

Two of these people are gay, all three are anti-gay

GOProud has been disinvited from CPAC. Apparently, the message this sends is that there really is no place for gay people in the conservative movement, even gay people who are unbendingly right-wing in every way except for their desire to suck penises. (PS GOProud denies the assertion that they're persona non gayta at CPAC.)

So ultimately, Dan Choi is an idiot after all—so disenchanted with President Obama and "his fawning gay elites" (gee, he really fits right in with that GOProud crowd he cozied up to), he's now saying he likes Gary Johnson because he's much stronger on civil rights than Obama.

Legendary gay-rights advocate David Mixner was Bill Clinton's most trusted gay advisor until the president waffled on his promise to end the ban on military service for gay people, gifting the country with Don't Ask, Don't Tell. For decades, he's been a prominent voice in the struggle for our equal rights, a tough critic of our enemies as well as our fair-weather friends and an inspiration for everyone following the trail he's blazed.

During Dixon Places's 20th Annual Hot Festival on July 11th and 18th, Mixner will appear on stage in From the Front Porch: An Evening with David Mixner, a unique musical show about his life—and about ours. With Josh Zuckerman playing and singing his original songs to highlight the "chapters" of Mixner's life story, it's a can't-miss opportunity.

The July 11 show, a benefit for The Ali Forney Center, is all but sold out. But there are still cheap ($15!), good seats available for July 18, a performance the venue and the star hope will be especially appealing to the next generation of LGBT activists.
