TV Buzz Seriously, PIX 11, what the hell? Felonious Munk is a comedian whose vast array of work includes a web series called “Stop It B” (make sure you check out his hilarious take on the “No homo” craze!). Munk visited today's 5:00 PM newscast on New York's PIX 11 to give his take on the controversy over now-suspended CNN commentator Roland Martin's anti-gay Super Bowl tweets. I wish he hadn't.
Culture Buzz This is awesome. On his show Monday, Howard Stern went on a 12-minute rant about the “One Million Moms” campaign against Ellen DeGeneres, people who joke about Rosie O'Donnell being a lesbian, anti-gay politicians, and much more. It's worth listening to in its entirety. (via Vulture)
TV Buzz Roland S. Martin is about to have even more time to tweet. That's because CNN announced this afternoon that Martin, a contributor to the network, has been suspended indefinitely following a pair of homophobic tweets he wrote during last Sunday's Super Bowl (which, as BuzzFeed pointed out, were representative of a larger anti-gay pattern of his).
Culture Buzz CNN commentator Roland S. Martin raised eyebrows on Sunday when he seemingly advocated violence against gay men in a series of tweets. Martin has since denied that the tweets were homophobic, but a quick look back on his Twitter timeline reveals a history of questionable statements.
Culture Buzz This is probably the best use of Meredith Brook's song “Bitch” ever. (via towleroad.com)
Culture Buzz Is your toothpaste making you feel like a nancy? Your homeowner's insurance not virile enough? Does your internet service provider put the ISP in lisp? With the new Dr. Pepper being made for men only, I thought I'd try the same approach with other normally gender-neutral products.
Culture Buzz Archie Comics recently announced that their openly gay character, Kevin Keller, will be getting married. Fox News online readers, true to form, showed tact and compassion in their responses. UPDATE: They did not show either of those things in their responses. There is unfortunately much more over at Bleeding Cool. And what do cleft palates have to do with anything?
Politics Buzz When did the guy who played John Locke on Lost become such a jerk? Oh, wait… (via foxnews.com)

From athlete David Tyree's anti-marriage-equality stance to rapper Tyler, the Creator's slurs to Tracy Morgan's rant, June has been full of anti-gay outbursts.
Captain Owen P. Honors, commanding officer of the USS Enterprise has come under heavy scrutiny for producing sexist, homophobic videos as so-called “morale boosters” for his crew while away on long voyages. It looks like the Navy isn't as out as one might think.
Culture Buzz This former bully joins the It Gets Better campaign with a thoughtful video directed at the bullies themselves. “I know high school can be great…and I know you can think you're on top of the world and everything is going your way, but just know that there are people out there who don't agree with the kind of bullsh*t you're throwing out there and the older you get…it gets worse.” [Note: Whether this is real or fake, I don't care. The message is what's important.]
Culture Buzz Isaac Katz, son of notorious bigot and “proud homophobe,” Jonathan Katz came out of the closet recently. It can't be easy to come out to parents who are so openly against who you are, but after the recent string of gay suicides Isaac said he felt the need to share the story of his own suicide attempt and come out publicly against his father's bigoted beliefs. We're proud of you, Isaac!
1-866-4-U-Trevor. Start there. Start anywhere. But start by believing that life is worth living and you will find your way.
Bill O'Reilly wonders when McDonalds will have an Al Qaeda advertisement to compliment their current “Gay Commercial” that is making the rounds in France. Stay classy, Fox News.
Politics Buzz President-elect Obama has chosen Proposition 8 supporter and minister of the evangelical Saddleback Church to give the invocation at his inauguration. You may remember him for his pseudo-debate on “faith issues” with Obama and McCain.
Tech Buzz The dating site, which exclusively serves a heterosexual audience (no surprise, given that it's chair is Neil Clark Warren, an evangelical Christian), has settled a court complaint by paying a $50K fine, and is now preparing to launch Compatible Partners for gays, which will - oddly enough - use the exact same questionnaire employed by eHarmony. In other words, they're basically giving gays a piece of the pie, specifically the pie made from ingredients based on algorithms meant exclusively to apply to heterosexual couples.
Music Buzz One-time Eminem collaborator Trick Trick is making news this week with his announcement to AllHipHop.com that he doesn't want gay people buying his new album. Trick Trick personally called out gay celebrities Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres, saying that he was going to send a “scud missile right through their f**king cruise ship.” No word yet on whether heterosexual people have any plans to buy Trick Trick's lousy album either.
Business Buzz Californians Against Hate are leading a ban against Bolthouse, the company that makes all the weird juices, for their $100,000 donation in support of Proposition 8. If you’ve got any love for the geighz, you might want to trade that Mango Apple Homophobia Protein Smoothie for, like, a Snapple. Snapple seems lesbian-friendly, right?
Politics Buzz A “youth-oriented” offshoot of Protect Marriage aims to persuade voters to choose Proposition 8 in California, which would amend the state constitution’s allowance of gay marriage. Kids these days! It’s all kooky facial hair, dramatic staring, and ivory-colored computer machines. Can’t they concentrate on important things once in a while - like keeping people who love each other apart?
And you thought these reactions were bad. A million face palms is not…
At a town hall style meeting in Portland, Maine today a woman…
