Morning Meme: Happy National Coming Out Day, Meet Wonder Woman's Dad, and Rugby Hunk David Pocock For Marriage Equality

First things first: Happy National Coming Out Day! How will you commemorate the day?

As was mentioned in today's TVoT, Lee Daniels is teaming with Temple Grandin writer W. Merritt Johnson to develop a drama series with a transgender lead about NYC ball culture. THis will be for Showtime. I used to know a few folks involved in the ball culture, but I still know very little about the scene. Will look forward to learning more via this series. This is a bold move for Showtime.

Bishop Eddie Long has notified the young men he reached settlements with concerning allegations of inappropriate behavior that he will attempt to recover the money he paid them because they violated the confidentiality agreement.

DC Comics is giving Wonder Woman a father, which is angering some fans. They didn't aim low though – she'll be calling Zeus daddy.

Scottish Archbishop Mario Conti says that allowing marriage equality will lead to "gross discrimination" against Christians. He didn't really connect the dots, but he has a big hat, so it must be true.

Hank Williams, Jr. is writing a new song bashing ESPN and Fox and Friends for being upset that he called President Obama Hitler. He plans to debut it on Hannity, then The View. You can't make this stuff up.

We already knew that Apt. 23 (formerly Don't Trust the Bitch in Apt. 23) was going to have James Van Der Beek playing a comic, heightened version of himself. But now we find other guest stars playing themselves, including Kevin Sorbo and Dean Cain.

Peanut butter is set to jump about 40% in price, thanks to drought in the south. Expect Jif to jump 30% at the wholesale level by the first of November, with Peter Pan jumping 24%, and Planters jumping 40%. I'm going to eat a lot fewer peanut butter and pickle sandwiches with my tomato soup this winter.

Hunky Aussie rugby player and self-identifying Christian (and certified hunk) David Pocock  says that he won't marry his fiancé until marriage equality comes down under. “Being brought up in a Christian home and still identifying as Christian, I get pretty annoyed with the Christian lobbies around the world who say gay marriage destroys the family and all that kind of rubbish. They claim to follow someone who always stood up for the oppressed and marginalised." The Wallabies are most certainly our favorite international sports team here at AfterElton.

In a story I can almost hear reported in Crocodile Dundee's voice, an Australian gold course has 10-12 foot long man-eating bull sharks in their water hazards. Evidently the sharks got in the lake during a flood of a river, and they're thriving.

Saturday, Scott Anderson became the first openly gay ordained minister in the Presbyterian church.  In fact, it was a reordination, as he had previously been defrocked after being discovered to be gay.

MTV has put their entire Liquid Television archive online. It was a quirky, weird show, with something for everyone.

OHLALA Mag talks to out Belgian triple threat Timo Descamps about growing up in the public eye, acting in Europe vs. the U.S., his boyfriend, and his stateside ambitions. It's a great read on a really fun up-and-comer.

Kanye West went down to visit Occupy Wall Street with Russell Simmons. With Kanye being worth about $70 million, and Simmons several hundred million, it seems odd to think of them as the 99%, especially when Kanye wore gold fronts and enough chains to tie up the USS Kennedy.

Game of Thrones has cast Ygritte, and its Downton Abbey star Rose Leslie playing the Wilding woman that captures Jon Snow's interest.

I'm not a big reality fan, but I'm intrigued by VH1's new show Aptitude, which will have a celebrity take a high school aptitude test, then train for the job they test into, and go undercover.
