Your Monday Morning "Everything Bagel!"

Enjoy this tasty treat designed help to stall the inevitable soul crushingness that is known as the start of the work week. Savor it because as soon as you're done, it begins...

Look, I'm sorry I bit Frank last week. I swear I won't do it again.
Just don't make me work in the bubble all week!

• Things are getting ugly up in Maine as the battle over same-marriage there heats up. Naturally, that means the Catholic Church is interfering in our lives and lying while they do it. For starters, Maine's Catholic Bishop Richard Malone ordered a second collection at Mass on Sunday in order to fund Maine's anti-marriage forces. I guess that means that poverty in Maine must be solved and that those pesky laws about churches not getting involved in politics due to their tax exempt status don't apply here. But keep reading and you'll see it gets worse. 

• Not only are gay Americans subsidizing the Catholic church's attacks on our rights via their tax exempt status, but Malone's director of public affairs Marc Mutty is now spending his time running  for Stand for Marriage Maine which is trying to roll-back that state's gay marriage laws. And, of course, that means, lying through his teeth trying to scare Maine voters into believing -- you guessed it -- that we're coming for their children.
  
  How Christian of them! ActBlue is collecting money to fight off these bigots. Why not send them a buck or two? (And yay for Maine Catholics for Marriage Equality. Alas, right now they only have 74 members.)

• Despite my disgust with the NFL's reinstatement of Michael Vick, I was still pleased my Denver Broncos beat the Cincinnatti Bengals with a 87 yard touchdown with less than 40 seconds to play. Bwa ha ha! How'd your team do?

• Some Christians in Texas are not amused by having to see pro-gay billboards in their state.

Said Christine Lutz,"I cringed. I was disgusted at the same time. ... I said how dare you take the scriptures and twist it to fit your needs." 

I know, I know...

• Curious about what gay life was like Halifax, Nova Scotia during prohibition? Check out The Jolly Lobster which features rum runners, brothels and more. 

• David Bromstad says knock off the criticism of Design Star finalist Dan Vickery's giggling. Speaking of Dan, it turns out he has a girlfriend. 

• Gospel singer Tonex (AKA Anthony Charles Williams II ) confirms he also likes guys. Rod 2.0 says this makes him the first gospel singer to come out. 

• The British government issued a posthumous apology to Alan Turing, the gay scientist who helped defeat the Nazis only to be rewarded with chemical castration that drove him to kill himself by eating an apple laced with cyanide. Said Turing froom beyond the grave, "Bloody lot of good that does me, doesn't it? It's not like I can get married or watch Captain Jack snog Ianto on Torchwood? Why don't you take your apology and stick it..."

• Societe Perrier interviews Marc Jacobs' fiance Lorenzo Martone. 

• If you haven't voted yet, cast your ballot in our Primetime Visibility Awards! The battle for Best Lead Actor is neck and neck while we have a three way battle for Best Writer!

• Finally, I just don't know what to make of this very odd beer viral ad for Bud Light Lime (via Queerty).

 Eeeeek! Get it off! Get it off! Oh, it's just you!
Stop sneaking up on me like that...

And now the work week begins!We're sorry...
