Good morning folks! It’s around that time, so let’s have a gander around the news sites and see what gay and lesbian angles we can find. I was almost assaulted by the inkwell and quill during the weekend when I dared suggest that Jane Lynch getting married wasn’t exactly news-worthy. To quote click_here

Jane Lynch: The L Word’s hot lawyer lady, Glee‘s hot crazy lady, attending the Golden Globes with her misses (both looking fabulous), and now getting married.

Lynch told the New York Times‘ Carpetbagger blog that she would be marrying Embry, who made headlines last year when mediating her own custody battle, where her ex decided to sever all contact with two of her children.

We have dusted off our best frocks here in Gaelick HQ in the hopes that we might get an invite I’m sure any day now the invite will arrive.

The Huffington Post reports from Washington

Reaching out to a skeptical gay community, President Barack Obama on Wednesday urged Congress to repeal the ban on gays and lesbians serving openly in the military, but he neither made a commitment to suspend the practice in the interim nor issued a deadline

Hmmm. No commitment and no deadline. You’re starting to sound like a politican Obama. What happened to ‘Yes We Can’? Was there an asterisk after the can that I missed which implied small print?

I’m sorry but I am loving this story from Dennis Romeor over at laweekly blogs about eHarmony

Hard to believe, but eHarmony, the dating site founded by a conservative Christian who said that he believes marriage should only be between a man and a woman, will soon serve bisexuals looking for relationships. Of course, it took a lawsuit, but still, who would have thought a site with such prim and proper origins would be swinging like it’s 1979?

Brilliant!

Keeping with the feelgood vibe we have going on, off we head to New Zealand where gaynz reports Mike Puru: “I didn’t want to pretend anymore”

Monday was a big day for The Edge FM Morning Madhouse radio host Mike Puru. His live on-air ‘coming out’ sent shockwaves through Auckland, resulting in a massive power-cut affecting thousands of homes and businesses across the city. Well, OK, we exaggerate, but it was certainly a pivotal moment for Mike, who now admits he’d feared a negative reaction from his listeners.

GayNZ.com have a interview with the man of the moment

Staying with the lovely gay men, the timesonline.co.uk reports a first, apparently. Bollywood is to get its first gay kiss!

Bollywood is the world’s most prolific film industry, but for decades one plotline has dared not speak its name. Now the sub-continent’s ultimate cinematic taboo is to be broached, with the first depiction of a gay kiss.

Months before its release, Dunno Y . . . Na Jaane Kyun has already been called India’s answer to Brokeback Mountain.

So you mean, it’s a depressing tale in which society pressues the gays to be miserable and then die a violent death? Can’t wait!

So, last week Kylie was a lesbian. * roll eyes * Even bigger shock? It wasn’t true?!

According to Twitter,

“Re Recent ‘News’ … OMG such a load of hype and nonsense … misquotes and an interview that never HAPPENED!!! Grrrrr!!!,” Minogue wrote.

Kylie, don’t burst my bubble just yet, I had purchased matching check shirts for us. Just goes to show you, you can’t believe everything you read in the papers, even if the papers are actually websites. Watch how I studiously ignore my own statement, to bring you the non-stories of the week involving the words lesbian and anything else they think will grab headlines.

The nytimes reports For Transgender People, Name Is a Message

Katherine used to be Miguel. Olin had a girl’s name. And in October, Robert Ira Schnur, 70, became Roberta Iris Schnur, a Manhattan retiree with magenta lipstick and, she noted the other day, chipped silver nail polish.

Over on alibi.com, Joni Kay Rose writes a great opinion peice on Amanda Simpson

The day may come when a strong, successful woman like Simpson will be valued for all those qualities rather than maligned for irrelevant details from her past. And should such a woman receive a high-level appointment as Simpson has, people will be able to keep their minds out of their underwear long enough to accept the fact that she’s suited for the position. Unfortunately, some folks still haven’t grown up enough to reach that level of understanding.

And finally, the non-news stories. Put down the cuppa, step away from the cookie jar and prepare yourself for some shocking headlines.

Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning comfortable in their passionate lesbian liplock

Don’t say I didn’t warn you. There you have it. Two established actresses say kissing a girl is no big deal. Well I never.

Lindsay Lohan is ‘bisexual’, proved again!

Before we delve into the actual ‘article’ can I ask a couple of questions? Firstly when did we think she wasn’t bi? And secondly how does one prove bisexuality? Actually, I can’t be bothered reading on, the headline alone gave me a great chuckle.

That’s about it for this week folks, there’s lots coming up on Gaelick in the coming weeks including an article on the fabulous Stockard Channing who is coming to Ireland in June and a preview of those Scottish lesbians in Lip Service. Do you see how difficult the ladies of Gaelick have it? They spend sometimes days having to look at pictures of attractive and sexy women, all in the name of research and to bring you good folk some lovely ladies.
