Page 1 Consider (06/10)

  • Bad Ass: Frank has "Breaking Bad" and "Big Love" cutie Aaron Paul's nekkid heiny. (OMG)

  • To Tell the Truth: The NYT Editorial pages call the Supreme Court, the president and Congress' refusal to take action against "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" "not only unfair to gay men and lesbians but damaging to the military as well" and calls on Obama to see if there is any action he could take on his own while awaiting the military’s assessment of the policy. (NYT)

  • It's a Boy -- Really: Thomas Beatie, the so-called pregnant man, has given birth to his second child, a healthy boy. Beatie's wife, Nancy, will be breastfeeding their son, as she did with their daughter, Susan Juliette, who was born last June. (ABCNews)

  • We're Not Here, We're Queer ... : While many prominent LGBT activists are calling for a march on Washington, blogger and media consultant Bil Browning gives us 10 reasons why it's a bad idea. (Huffington Post)

  • Zack Attack: I'm not sure why, but I'd have never thought Mark-Paul Gosselaar would have ever been fun enough to pull off this Zack Morris stunt. (But why no AC Slater?) (Examiner)

My friend Mark suspects the judge threw the book at the former new wave goddess when she told him "It ain't none of your business" when asked about the sickening allegations against her. (The Phoenix)

  • Upside Down: If you thought Illinois politics were a joke, then you haven't been following New York state's. All you need is a billionaire who doesn't think he should pay his fair share of taxes and two crooked Democrats and voila -- the Republicans are back to running the asylum. (NYT) Oddly enough, activists are hopeful that the GOP takeover of the state Senate will actually lead to a gay marriage vote on the floor in the next two weeks. (One of the turncoat Dems is a co-sponsor of the gay marriage legislation.) (365Gay)

    Seriously, is there a more handsome man than Paul Donaho? Too bad he's playing for the wrong team.
