Weekend birthdays! Sean Hayes turns 40, and George Michael turns 47.

• The ratings for TV Land's Hot in Cleveland dipped almost 30% in its second outing. All of those ladies are comedy gold, so why not write material that's worthy of them?

• Fayetteville, Arkansas Mayor Lioneld Jordan has responded to the laughable e-mails he's received from the AFA about Will Phillips and the Pride parade. The show will go on! Usually, the comments in this kind of article make my stomach turn, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading the sometimes hilarious gay-positive responses. But I have to say how thoroughly disappointed I am with the AFA e-mailer who wrote that the name of the town should be changed to "Gayetteville." You can do better than that. At least come up with something imaginative, like "Lafayetteville."

• Bryan Safi (who is just as adorable as you think) wraps up his salute to Pride with a look back at the last twelve months of gay.

• Some of the queens from both seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race have joined the NOH8 Campaign. Included are such faves as Raven, Ongina and Jujubee, and below you can Season Two champ Tyra Sanchez

• Below is an NPR first-hand account of the Stonewall Uprising by Michael Levine, who was at the NYC bar the night that became a seminal moment in civil rights history.

• Below you can see a bebeh kitty wearing a tiny hat and eating an ice-cream cone (which I suspect is really cat food.) When I showed it it to Ed he said "I'm fairly certain that's defined under international treaties as weaponized cuteness." Ed is evil.

• Below you can see CNN's Kyra Phillips (yes, that Kyra Phillips) report on the "True Colors" gay teen mentoring program in Hartford, Connecticut.

And today's Briefs are brought to you by...
