Trying to find gay-related headlines amongst the hoopla about the budget proved difficult, but due to some extra surfing and digging, we found some GLBT stuff that’s making headlines for all the right and wrong reasons. So lets start with the main ones:

Our ole pal Tony Blair accross the water spoke to Attitude and had this to say

He added: “When people quote the passages in Leviticus condemning homosexuality, I say to them – if you read the whole of the Old Testament and took everything that was there in a literal way, as being what God and religion is about, you’d have some pretty tough policies across the whole of the piece.”

Go Tony!

Hardly surprising but still So-called ‘Christian’ family fighting adoption of children by gay couple

and I quote from gaynewsblog.net

The grandfather of the children said, “The boys thought they were getting a new mummy and daddy, not a daddy and daddy. We are not homophobic, but we feel strongly this adoption is against our family’s Christian values,” reports The Daily Mail. Right, and Hitler wasn’t a homophobe either. Or an anti-Semite.

Vermont joins Iowa!
The vote was 100 to 49, meaning the same-sex marriage legislation just squeaked through. Fabulous.

For those of you in Iowa wanting to tie the knot as quickly as possible, get shopping for outfits. Iowa – Gay marriage date set: April 27 I’d recommend Gay Weddings.com. You can even get your own wedding page. If you really really want to.

Staying with the gay marriage theme Poll: 41 Percent Of New Yorkers Support Gay Marriage. Only Two in five New Yorkers support same-sex marriage, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

That’s good news. If you live in New York that is. I can’t remember the last poll we had here in our lovely country and what the percentage was. If anyone can remind me, please post it in the comments.

In other survey-related stories, how’s about this for a mouthful-and-a-half of a headline?

New National Survey Indicates Subaru is Considered Most Gay-Friendly but Not Most Purchased and Identifies Brands Most Likely to Be Owned by Gays and Lesbians

The survey reveals that Gay Men are 18 times more likely than the general population to own a Saab, five times more likely to own an Audi and four times more likely to own a MINI, VW or Jaguar. Lesbians are 11 times more likely than the general population to own a Saab, five times more likely to own a Scion and three times more likely to own a Jeep, Subaru or Saturn.

We own an Astra, what does that make us?

So let me get this straight, oh my sides, we don’t necessarily buy cars from brands that are gay friendly. It took a survey to find this out?

The Poles are gearing up for EuroPride 2010, Syndey’s Star Observer talks to gay activist Szymon Niemiec.

And we suppose we will have to mention the media’s favourite gal pals appear to have finally broken up. For real this time. Lindsay Lohan Breakdown Is a Tabloid Feeding Frenzy gives a round-up of all the tabloid’s take on the whole thing. According to Grrlplanet, Sam cheated on Lindsay

And we simply have to come (cough) to an and with – It’s OK to orgasm before 11pm, rules advertising watchdog

Women may orgasm on television before 11pm, or at least appear to do so, without causing widespread offence, according to a ruling by the Advertising Standards Authority.

The case concerned an ad for a Durex female “pleasure gel”, which featured a montage of women seemingly reaching climax to the Queen of the Night Aria from Mozart’s Magic Flute.

I have to admit, I giggled at Mozart’s Magic Flute.
