Morning Meme: Evan Peters Lubes Up, GLAAD & HRC Step Up The Campaign Against "Work It", and Would Matt Damon Make a Great Gay Best Friend?

 

American Horror Story's Evan Peters was discussing the Rubber Man suit, but the quote is just amazing. And maybe a little familiar sounding. "I don’t know if you’ve ever put on lube before, but it’s not likeEvan Peters there’s a layer of Vaseline on you; it’s just almost like your skin is super smooth and slick; it feels kind of gross, but at the same time, you feel really well moisturized. You’re not like, 'Ew, get it off of me.' You’re more like, 'This is kind of gross. I want to get this off as soon as possible. But maybe I can stop and get a sandwich first.'”

Contrary to reports from, well, everywhere, Newt Gingrich did not say that gays should vote for Obama.

Does anyone know if White Castle rents tables by the month? Because if this happens, I may want to live there.

Kurt and BlaineCarlos Pedraza and J.T. Tepnapa, the folks behind this year's fun Judas Kiss, have announced plans to adapt the coming of age novel Something Like Summer to the big screen. I can't wait to see the story of secret high school sweethearts brought to lfie.

Oddly enough, according to Brett Berk at Vanity Fair, the gay sex scene was not one of the Glee's Gayest Moments of 2011. He may have a point.

Could the tragedy at the Indiana State Fair set a precedent for how the state recognizes same-sex spouses from other states?

Washington, D.C. is moving forward with a change to their marriage law that would allow couples married in D.C. but residing in states with no legal recognition of their marriage to come back to the District to get a divorce, without the current requirement for residence. Until we have true marriage equality nationwide, weird measures like this will remain necessary.

Ender's Game is moving forward with casting, adding Harrison Ford as Col. Hyrum Graff (I can't picture it), while Abigail Breslin has also signed on. I really want this movie to work, but I hate the thought of Orson Scott Card profiting from it.

Prince Harry says that he hopes to put his new helicopter training to use in Afghanistan next year. The prince previously deployed to Afghanistan, but had to be recalledPrince Harry once word leaked out. Still, I hope it brings us more images like this.

 Evidently, frankincense is in short supply thanks to changing climate and ecosystems in Ethiopia. It seems like some wise man could have foreseen this.

Dan Choi says he was detained at the gate, then physically ejected from Bradley Manning's legal hearings.

It seems the world has turned on fact-checkers Politifact over their "Lie of the Year" award going to Democrats for saying that the Republicans voted to end Medicare. And on semantics, this is ridiculous, because other things have been said that were factually incorrect, while this is as much about calling a napkin a paper towel as anything.

The National Organization for Marriage is an odd group. Exceptionally well funded, they don't have a PAC, when many smaller organizations do. But that's likely because of just how well funded they are, and from how few people they raise money from. Contributions to a PAC are capped at $5,000/year. NOM raised 90% of their $9 million budget from only five donors. Five very wealthy donors who hate gay people.

Matt DamonMatt Damon is not happy with President Obama. "You know, a one-term president with some balls who actually got stuff done would have been, in the long run of the country, much better."

Which doesn't sound like someone that John Krasinski would say “I’d nominate him as one of the people who makes his parents the most proud.” Or Elle to go on to add "These are hardly indictments, of course. They’re exactly what you want in your kid’s soccer coach, your gay best friend. But a leading man? We admire the moral compass, but do we want to take it to bed?" Yes. Yes I do.
