Wow, did gaysagainstgaga really just defend Dan Savage
Fuckers
RAGE
LINK ME.
Aaaactually, we don’t think that what we wrote really qualifies as a defense. Dan’s said some stuff that is indefensible. Some of which he’s apologized for, quite eloquently, some of which he hasn’t and really fucking should, but won’t...

Um nobody will shoot me if I say that this is possibly more important than achieving marriage equality, right?
I’d say that all LGBT rights and protections are on the same level of importance in my eyes…(especially since in Tennessee we have nooooone at all) BUT THIS IS SO GREAT
It doesn’t really matter if you can get married if you can’t find a...
“The issue with Lana Del Rey is not whether she is some corporate test-tubed...”
– Jessica Hopper asks a good question. Of course the answer can be/is more than just whether we’re able to believe her own beliefs. For me, it’s “are those beliefs artful and/or well-done?” The “well-done” I don’t think is up for debate. It’s a very well-made album.

90minuteblonde asked: I believe that you have an interesting and fresh point of view. But it seems that you post a lot of material about how she is a copy cat. Which is a very common, vapid, and, by now, boring way of throwing shade in her direction. I personally have a tremendous amount of respect for Gaga, but can also appreciate other points of view. If one is to criticize her based on wealth, mimicry, etc. then it...
bernardreed asked: As if I didn't have enough reasons to loathe Lady Gaga, I just found your blog and have spent the last couple of hours reading it. The other day I was called "self-loathing" by a Little Monster who couldn't understand how his musical tastes, and even his identity as a homosexual, have been hijacked by pop's latest pastiche nightmare. Is it bad that I don't even want...
alone-in-silence asked: Hey, what are some examples of Gaga using transphobic language?
“Put me in the heart-shaped bathtub with Lady Gaga. I just want to get on the...”
– Gen. Stanley McChrystal, as quoted by Michael Hastings in his new book The Operators, or, things you should never say to a Rolling Stone reporter. (via cheatsheet)
As you will remember, McChrystal was quickly asked to resign by Obama after that unflattering Rolling Stone article came out.
