Morning Meme: Jon Hamm Won't Wear Tights, We Swoon When Ben Cohen Meets Hudson Taylor, and Teddy's "90210" Future

18-year-old Minnesota high school student Lance Lundsten has apparently committed suicide over the weekend. His friends say that the openly gay Lundsten was bullied at school and believe that is what led him to take his own life. Not again. I can’t go through another batch of beautiful kids full of so much potential ending it all because of bullies. Our thoughts are with his friends and family.

In other bullying news, it appears the Yankee fans are still taunting people with “Y R U Gay” and it’s getting up close and personal.

The House of Mercy homeless shelter in Georgia only shows mercy to people who are straight. Per director Elder Bobby Harris: “[Homosexuality] is not tolerated here at all. Let me tell you one reason why: because of the Bible, of course. And then we have little children ... We believe that Christ can change all. But when they begin to practice their acts, there's nothing he can do for gay people in need." Well, I like to think I don’t need any more practice at the acts, I’ve got it down. You and “mercy” however, need some work.

Carlos Castro, author, activist, journalist had his ashes poured into a New York City street grate, per his wishes. Castro was murdered by his male model companion according to police reports.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have a new child, born of a surrogate of their genetics. And they get bonus points for not bringing it up on the red carpet.

Peabody and Sherman, from the classic Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoons, are getting the big screen treatment. And Robert Downey, Jr. will be voicing the pompous canine. I’m so torn about this, because I don’t think the movie needs to be made, but I do love RDJ.

Coach Beiste is set to sing on Glee. Despite Dot Marie-Jones’ request to sing AC/DC, she’s instead going the honky-tonk route, which I admit sounds like it fits the character better.

Starbucks is instituting the “trente” size cup, a full 7 oz. larger than the Venti size. But it’s only for cold drinks, which I think is a crime. I want my Triple Caramel Macchiato in a larger size. And maybe as a Quad Caramel Macchiato.

Murder music king Buju Banton rocked crowds in Miami between trials for cocaine distribution. The crowd went wild for the hateful musician. 

This essay by Walter Naegle, surviving partner of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. ally Bayard Rustin should be required reading for everyone.

Darren Criss says his dream date is Tina Fey, but she’s married, so she turned him down. I’d be happy to console him.

Dear AnimalNewYork.com: I know you’re so hipster you’re past labels, but calling the NYPD’s three wheeled scooters “ghey” still isn’t O.K.

Ricky Gervais doesn’t care if he offended anyone with his jokes, and despite conflicting reports and quotes, it sounds like the Hollywood Foreign Press is quietly thrilled that everyone is talking about anything other than their lawsuit with Dick Clark. They admit, if you hire Gervais, you don't expect "nice." This is the man who discussed necrophilia with Elmo.

There are all sorts of issues with this report that the star of Dunno Y... Na Jaane Kyun is accusing the director of the film with sexual harassment. It could be that a gay rights group is outing the actor in an attempt to clear the director’s name. Or it could be that their defense is “How can some one who has slept with men allege sexual abuse?”
