Morning Meme: Jesse Tyler Has No Limits For Comedy, Tracy Morgan's (New) Homophobic Rant, and Just How Gay Will the Tonys Be?

As we ramp up for the gayest of the award shows this Sunday night (sorry NewNowNext Awards, it’s not even close), we find out that not only will Neil Patrick Harris host, and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert perform, they’ll share the stage with Martha Wash for “It’s Raining Men.” Like I said, it's not even close.

Just how much money did the Big Four networks rake in for ad sales based on their upfronts in May? $9.2 billion spent on shows you may or may not watch next fall, up from $8.8 billion.

It turns out women who have excess breast milk can market it for big bucks to women who can’t produce enough, or presumably gay men who can’t produce it at all. One woman made $20,000 selling her breast milk.

Julie Andrews and Kareem Abdul-Jabar were honored with the Lincoln Medal at Ford Theater this past Sunday, with Vice President Biden presenting, and celebrities such as Michael Urie and Scott Bakula in attendance.

Target says they’re neutral on the Minnesota marriage amendment, as they are on all social issues, except when they’re giving millions to politicians who hate us. But keep buying their stuff.

Sales of Lady Gaga’s Born This Way fell 90% in the second week, but still dominated the charts for a second week.

Recognizing the huge revenue stream that Glee has in music sales, NBC’s upcoming Smash has announced plans with Columbia Music to release covers of pop songs and original music from the show. No word on if they’ll make Anjelica Houston and Debra Messing go on a grueling summer stage tour.

Looking at this list of actors that will be “ubiquitous” over the next year, I realize that I can live with a list that includes Daniel Craig, James Franco, Tom Hardy and Ryan Gosling. I’m not sold on Justin Timberlake yet., but I’m not opposed either.

The Human Rights Campaign always puts out their lists of the best companies, now they have a list of Worst Companies to Work For. Manage your pink dollars wisely.

Catholic Charities in Illinois already abandoned the orphans under their care, rather than submit to placing the kids (for which they get $30 million in taxpayer money to care for them with) with GLBT couples. Now they’re suing for a blanket religious exemption, demanding “rules of conscience” exceptions. This is one of the most blindly offensive things I’ve ever seen the Catholic Church do, and that’s saying something.

Newt Gingrich had most of his campaign staff resign yesterday, and yet he keeps moving forward in what I can only guess is a marketing stunt for something yet to be revealed. It's not a good sign when even his own staff finds him unelectable.

GE has announced plans to build a hybrid electric plant in Turkey that blends solar, wind and natural gas generation with 70% efficiency and zero water discharge. And they’re not building this marvel in America because?

This entire interview with Jesse Tyler Ferguson about Modern Family is worth reading, and he has some deep thoughts on America’s warm relationship with his TV family. But I need some fun, so I’m going with the question about whether the writers have ever asked him to do something he just wouldn’t do. “I'm a whore, I'll do anything. No, honestly, they put me in a Spider-Man costume climbing down a building, they've had me in a sailor outfit, they've had me stuck in a tree. I have yet to hear something that I won't do, but I also love our writers, and if something is funny then I'm willing to do it. But I come from a theater background and have been naked on stage in front of strangers. If it serves the piece, I'm open to it.”

Social media is abuzz with news of an alleged anti-gay rant from a Tracy Morgan “comedy” show. Why people are surprised I have no idea, since he had mass walkouts from his Carnegie Hall show last year for the same reason. He's used cruel gay humor before outside his stand up. This time, Morgan said he’s stab his son if he came out as gay. And that was some of the least offensive things he said. His publicist, when reached for comment says "There is no comment, thank you for your inquiry." I know I’m giving up 30 Rock over this new round of abuse.

Five ways to pee with a boner. NSFW.

This kid is my hero. Go read it. Go on.

The White House is set to announce protections today for same-sex couples to protect their joint home when one partner enters long-term care under Medicaid. Currently, opposite sex couples homes are protected if the healthy partner still lives in the home, but same-sex couples are not. This is a huge win for GLBT seniors.

It turns out if Rep. Weiner had been into guys, his pictures would have been very popular on Grindr. But I have a feeling these are a bunch of pissed off guys who wanted to get laid who responded to his pictures.
