After a bunch of dummies in Maine (Buzzfeed superfan Joy Engel notwithstanding) voted against gay marriage yesterday, this clip from The Dana Carvey Show (featuring Carvey and Stephen Colbert) has been gaining popularity. Between lobsters, Stephen King, and that awesome scene from Maine-set In The Bedroom, we were really big fans of the state. Maine should take a trip to Iowa and cool off ):
“The woman at my polling place asked me do I believe in equality for gay and lesbian people. I was pretty surprised to be asked a question like that. It made no sense to me. Finally I asked her: what do you think I fought for in Omaha Beach? “

Adorable clip of newly married gay couple Star Trek alum George Takei and Brad Altman winning The Newlywed Game. Since they've been dating for TWENTY YEARS it kind of makes sense that they would know each other inside out.

If you loved Prop 8, you'll really love the “2010 California Marriage Protection Act.” John Marcotte is hitting the streets (and visiting gay clubs) to get signatures in support of his divorce ban. Because after all, “Jesus loves you after you get divorced, but not as much as before.”
In commemoration of the recent gay marriage rulings in the two states, Threadless has released this shirt expressing how much cooler Iowa is than California now.

Two gay male penguins have hatched a chick and are now rearing it as its adoptive parents, says a German zoo.
America's Best Christian takes time to explain to less informed Christians the curious details of the Lord's concept of marriage. Love you Betty! (aka Deven Green.)
Dick Cheney managed to utter an (albeit slightly equivocal) endorsement of states allowing same-sex marriages at the National Press Club today. Apparently, “freedom means freedom for everyone.”
Riki “Garfunkel” Lindhome and Kate “Oates” Micucci sing a pro-gay marriage song in response to a Pat Robertson quote that legalizing gay marriage would lead to legalizing sex with ducks.
Politics Buzz The California Supreme Court upheld Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage. The ruling on Prop 8 was 6-1 but the judges unanimously decided to keep intact the marriages of the 18,000 couples who got married before the ban passed.
The organization that brought us the gay storm now brings us hopelessly confused children. Holy crap; the intricacies of adult relationships and state/federal law are non-intuitive to kids!
Politics Buzz Bill O'Reilly theorizes that if America keeps traipsing down this wayward path, gay marriage could lead to goat, duck, dolphin, and turtle marriage. I've always wanted to marry a turtle, ever since I was a very very young girl.
Politics Buzz Remember Joe “the Plumber” Wurzelbacher? Unfortunately, so do the good folks at Christianity Today, who decided to let him announce that he would never let “queers” near his children. Furthermore, he claims to have gay friends who, despite his opinions, are going to “do their thing.” Wurzelbacher, however, declined to specify whether “their thing” included “eating children.”

Politics Buzz Another spoof of the unintentionally hilarious gay marriage storm that involves Lance Bass, Alicia Silverstone and a big honking umbrella to protect us from the threatening gay skies.
TV Buzz Stephen Colbert throws his considerable weight against the coming storm of legalized gay marriage. “Before long, the winds will be blowing each other.”
Politics Buzz Governor Patterson is re-introducing a bill to legalize same-sex marriage in New York. The bill currently doesn't have enough support to pass the state legislature, according to the Times, but the Governor and Mayor Bloomberg are urging the state's Democratic leadership to get it passed.
