Beyoncé, LGBT Icon and Houston Native, Remains Silent as Texas Pursues Anti-Transgender Bathroom Bill

Laverne Cox meets her queen at the Grammys

Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Sting, Cyndi Lauper, Miley Cyrus, Whoopi Goldberg Amy Schumer and Laverne Cox are among the bold-faced names who have signed onto a letter urging Texas legislators to abandon their anti-transgender bathroom bill. Yet as was the case during Houston's much-needed Proposition 1 -- the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance (HERO), which guaranteed equality based on sexual orientation and gender identity in employment, housing and services, something neither U.S. nor Texas state law protect -- Houston native and LGBT icon Beyoncé has said nothing. We could really use the help of someone of her stature -- and a native Texas-- to fight this fearmongering. What's up with that? 

Rudy Giuliani Slams Beyoncé’s 'Black Power' Salute During Halftime Show

'REALLY OUTRAGEOUS THAT SHE USED IT AS A PLATFORM TO ATTACK POLICE' 

Dear Rudy Guiliani: 

Yes, Mr. Mayor. That's what's really "outrageous" here.  

Love,

Song of the Day: 'I Decided' (live) by Solange Knowles

Beyonce the person is likable enough, but I've never understood the appeal of her music -- aka what she's supposed to be famous for. I can admit that even someone as untalented as Britney Spears has a good song or two, but Queen B's music somehow manages to be not soulful enough to be good R&B and not catchy enough to be good pop. The closest she ever came was "Crazy in Love," but all of its wonderful suspense and build-up never somehow never pays off, like if "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" had been recorded minus the pinnacle. But people keep saying her kickass younger sister is the real deal, although I've yet to delve in. The only song I know is this one, and while it may not reinvent the wheel, it's one of the sweetest pop confections since Diana Ross' "Chain Reaction" came out three decades. Where do I go from here, boys?

Tabloids minds think alike!

Jon Stewart had a hilarious bit about how you don't even need to secretly record this Donald Sterling guy, just give him a mike and he'll spew even more hate. 

Bitch Be Crazy or, Solange's Greatest Hits

I'm too old to really care about Jay-Z and Beyonce. But I'm always up for a good freakout! (My guess is Solange knows Jay-Z is cheating on her sister and was confronting him about it, which is why Beyonce didn't seem to mind what was happening.) Blow-by-blow HERE. 

Love on Top

‘If you like it you should be able to put a ring on it’ 

Not a huge fan, but I'm a huge fan of this! Read HERE.
