«Oldest ‹Older 3001 – 3159 of 3159I wonder how far he'd be willing to go as far as gaining a lot of weight and making himself physically unattractive for a role.
I will always be beautiful even if I'm old and ugly!
I hope Jake wouldn't do that, no role is worth misusing your body like that.
I shouldn't have said "a lot of weight." Theron and Zellwegger both gained weight for roles and I don't think they abused their bodies to do so. Aaron Eckhart gained weight for "Meet Bill" (and lost it as part of the plot). My question is I wonder how unattractive Jake would be willing to make himself look for a role.

"Didn't that boy read the part in The Bible with Eve and the apple and the snake?"
—Jake Gyllenhaal chum, regarding the talk that Jake's ex, the crafty Reese Witherspoon, may or may not be behind recent nasty talk denigrating the handsome movie star.
Wow. That's all we have to say here. I mean, not even PR-finagler extraordinaire Angenlina Jolie's ever gotten the Eve analogy. Or has she?

Dear Ted:
I know that it may be illegal for you to tell me this, but is George Clooney gay? Please tell me, my mum thinks he is but I am not so certain. Can you tell me the truth?
—Gabriela
Dear Tight Fit:
Sure I can—that's what I'm here for. And the truth is that he's straighter than the men's department at Target.
Men's department at Target is straight or gay, gay, gay?
An infant? How can an infant act other than an infant? That father is obviously insane, I wouldn't hold him up as representative of any group in any way. Terrible. :(
I feel like I never seen men in the men's department of Target when I'm in there shopping for gifts, just other women shopping, lol.
Men's department at Target is straight or gay, gay, gay?
The Men's department at Sears could be described as "straight" but I don't think the Men's department at Target would be described that way :) Straighter than Target's Men's department ain't all that straight - maybe this is ambiguous Tedspeak hinting that he's bi?

Now that you mention it, me too! lol.
"I hate it on TV shows, and there’s one show that I won’t name right now, where it’s like ‘Why aren’t these character kissing? Don’t they have a child?’ That’s ridiculous to me. I don’t understand it. … If I did it on my show, I would just have them do it in every scene and not have a big deal about it. I don’t think that you have to announce a very special episode. Weren’t they doing it back on Roseanne? It is just so outdated and archaic to me and as a gay man, I would never do that. I would make it very organic and do it several times and not make it a stunt."
— Ryan Murphy, the big gay creator of big gay show Glee, about a certain competing network's show that isn't showing the gay characters smooch. Murphy's own musical show is planning its first lesbian kiss; Glee filmed the episode yesterday. Does this also mean we're going to see Kurt get some boy action?
Queerty
Ted made the wrong analogy. I don't think Jake's "chum" was comparing Reese to Eve. He was comparing her to the snake, lol.
Ted's analogy is totally wrong.
Tom Hardy Sex Quotes From Years Ago
Last week, a source close to the talented Inception star Tom Hardy dished to us about his recent "I've had sexual relations with men" quotes in the Daily Mail, and how they were "taken out of context" when he was discussing playing a gay role.
Maybe there's some truth to that claim, after all?
We did a little digging around and found that the alleged interview was more than taken out of context—it was taken from an interview Hardy did two years ago:
The Daily Mail was rehashing a 2008 article in Now magazine, which claimed to have interviewed Hardy where dropped the bisexual bomb. But Now totally ripped off Attitude magazine's 2008 cover story with Tom back when he was promoting RocknRolla. You following?
Hardey was on the December '08 cover of Attitude, the UK's best-selling gay magazine, where he talked about playing Handsome Bob, a gay mobster in Guy Richie's flick.
Here are the actual questions and full answers from the two-year-old interview:
It's such a tradition of London gangsters, the gay thing, what with the Krays...
I wouldn't like to say. I really wouldn't. It's an unsaid, un-talked about thing. The military get it as well. Sexual relations with men in situations where it's a necessity, like prison, are different from being homosexual.
Have you ever had any sexual relations with men?
As a boy? Of course I have. I'm an actor for *beep*'s sake. I'm an artist. I've played with everything and everyone. But I'm not into men sexually. I love the form and the physicality but the gay sex bit does nothing for me. In the same way as a wet vagina would turn someone else into a lemon-sucking freak. To me it just doesn't compute now I'm into my 30s and it doesn't do it for me and I'm done experimenting.
Have you done it all?
Not all but I can imagine. We've all got an *beep* and I can imagine. It just doesn't do it for me, sex with another man. But there's plenty of stuff in a relationship with another man, especially gay men, that I need in my life. A lot of gay men get my thing for shoes. I don't think I'm metrosexual but I'm definitely my mother's son. I have definite feminine qualities and a lot of gay men are incredibly masculine."
So what say you Awful Truth'ers? Does the interview change the way you feel at all?
Certainly gives some credence to Tom's camp wanting the hunk to distance himself from the quotes. But he apparently did say the words—and distancing himself from those declarations now unfortunately creates the bad side effect of looking like he changed his mind.
Or does it?
Maybe there's some truth to that claim, after all?
Ted doesn't read WFT2, lol.
Ted doesn't read WFT2, lol.
LOL.
as we discussed, it changes the headline or characterization of him perhaps as being bisexual, but it does not change the fact that he admitted to having sex with boys. He wasn't talking about his character, but himself.
As far as the character itself, Ruffalo had this to say:
"He’s a guy struggling with two sides of himself — the dark and the light — and everything he does in his life is filtered through issues of control. I grew up on the Bill Bixby TV series, which I thought was a really nuanced and real human way to look at The Hulk. I like that the part has those qualities."
And some thoughts on taking over the role from his friend Edward Norton after the latter's public feud with Marvel: "I’m a friend of Ed’s, and yeah, that wasn’t a great way for all that to go down. But the way I see it is that Ed has bequeathed this part to me. I look at it as my generation’s Hamlet."

Jake Gyllenhaal in elementary school.
PRINCE OF PERSIA on Blu-ray & DVD 9/14!
info
Poor baby Jake. Those glasses! The hair. Giant head. Otherwise, very cute.
Baby Jake is adorable. I love the glasses. :*
8:51 you probably think babies are ugly.
IMO grade-school Jake is absolutely adorable. Looks like he had a mullet going on!
Think big, darling: Edward Thomas Hardy Talks Addictions and Life Lessons with Men's Health
* On his potential: "There comes a point when the world will stop rewarding potential and talent, natural gifts. There’s only so long that people will put up with the potential of working with someone who could be brilliant. . . To be told ‘Tom could do it’ was enough. There comes a point where if you want to participate at a certain level in anything, you cannot just turn up and be respected. We all want to be recognised by people that we recognise. And a lot of the people who I think are brilliant – and who I want to be more like – work their f**king arses off, constantly. . . Over time, technique wins over natural ability. People who work hard, with constant application, determination and tenacity – although they may not be as interesting, or have as much flair – will win."
* On his son: “Louis arriving was an absolute godsend. Children need things. Not want things. Want and need are two different things I have always mixed up. When Louis came along he was like, ‘You can’t think about you! I’m here!’ It separated a lot of my selfish behaviour.”

“Two stars were on a promotion tour out of the country for their recent movie. One star is engaged and is starting to make a name for himself. The other, also a male, is married. The two got so inebriated one night that they left a party together and ended up spending the night together. They woke up naked, cuddling, and in the same bed. Not Tom Hardy.” [BuzzFoto]
???
He additionally will co-star Reese Witherspoon and Chris Pine in "This Means War".
First Jake, Rob Pattinson (Water For Elephants), now Chris Pine? They like to cast her against gay guys apparently. No would will buy her as a love interest for them anyway!
Plus Reese already played Rob's mother in a movie. ;)
1:52 AM, could you please stop posting about Jake's ex beard?
I didn't give a shit about RW before the showmance, I don't give a shit about RW after the showmance. Showmance discussions are OK, of course, this is the place for that, but everything else is for some other forums and blogs, I just don't want to be reminded of reeking days if there is no need for that. Sorry for being pissed off, the bitch has that effect on me.

Matt Bomer, a fan and a kid
Umm, no. My point is: all these people are coming out of the woodwork to say they had gay sex with Hardy while there are no previously documented accounts from 1) British/non-US people 2) fans/followers/groupies from early-on in his career 3) someone who wrote about a sexual encounter with an up and coming British TV/movie star with say, the initials of TH.
How the heck do you KNOW there were 'no documented accounts of ...' past experiences?
Are you going round the net checking out everyone's private locked blog or random forum checking for 'I slept with Tom Hardy' comments over the past few years.
Sure there doesn't seem to have a been a plethora of publicly-well known comments but again, you cannot know that among private indviduals he hasn't been discussed and this is the first time a major statement of his has even come to American attention.
The Towleroad comment appears to be British, the Queerty one American from when he was in the US. What's so strange about it? Maybe people have 'come out of the woodwork' as you say, simply because his comments and openness were a spur for people to talk about something they'd either held back out of respect or had discussed privately. Maybe his attitude annoyed people who had helped keep his secrets.
You cannot assume that every sexual act is twittered about on the internet and people do actually keep things private until many years after.
I am not saying the accounts are true but they seem plausible enough in theory, given the dreaded fear of same-sex encounters getting out there in the public domain. Tom will be as well repped and protected from any real form of vengeful ex's and flings as the next movie star.
“Two stars were on a promotion tour out of the country for their recent movie. One star is engaged and is starting to make a name for himself. The other, also a male, is married.

That means it is Tom Hardy.
;) Just for you, TH is Straight troll.

More like a ref to the recent story that Target, a gay-friendly store, was busted by a gay man's mom for sending donations to some right-wing hatefest proponent and she took the goods back.
Basic metaphor I would think is Ted is trying to say George Clooney is all about the gay but fronting by cozying up to the other side; courting both sides publicly but privately is more one than the other.
Your bi ref may be right. But in this case it might be the public image aspect Ted's on about.
DL goodie:
Jake Gyllenhaal cruised me in Beverly Hills around the time of "Brokeback Mountain." I could feel someone's eyes on my ass before I turned around and recognized him. He gave me a smile and winked.
I was with my hot Latino personal trainer BF at the time so I didn't do anything.
Oh, memories of what might have been.
On the Celebs whove hit on or cruised you thread. Also an alleged account of some guy being hit on by Johnny Depp.
*cough*
Also an alleged account of some guy being hit on by Johnny Depp.
Johnny Depp. Early 90's in a bar in Pomona Ca, a Monday night. We were playing pool, the place was nearly empty and I was shy. He was beautiful. What I remember most was that hair and his face. We flirted, but at the stage of my whorin' career I didn't know how to close the deal. That is one I regret, but still smile when I think about. He was charming as I recall.
Dad!
We flirted, but at the stage of my whorin' career I didn't know how to close the deal.
Damn!
Dogs Life goodie:
"Jake Gyllenhaal's dog, Atticus, cruised me in Beverly Hills Indoor Dog's Terminal Number Six (with the iron gate) around the time of "Brokeback Mountain." I could feel some dog's eyes on my ass before I turned around and recognized him by his droopy ear and copy of Barely Legal Pup edition XVII. He gave me a smile and winked, slobber rolling from his tongue. It was sexy. Wha' can I say? I'm not doggin', if you've got it, spay it!
I was with my hot (if short) Pomeranian personal trainer BF at the time so I didn't do anything (though I did need to cock my leg by the swings).
Oh, memories of what might have been."
On the Celebs whove hit on or cruised you thread. Also an alleged account of some dog being hit on by Johnny Dogg.

And that's your problem, 4:39. Maybe others can either handle it better or know how to scroll. Don't recall seeing a "Reese is prohibited on WFT2" anywhere on this blog. There will always be Reek because it lasted two big years of Jake's career. Maybe it's a case of someone more jealous than a little pissed off.
There is no need to post info (other then info connected to ex showmance) about Reese Witherspoon here. She is OT and persona non grata.
Maybe it's a case of someone more jealous than a little pissed off.
Jealous about what?
As seen in Doberman Today:
"Jake Gyllenhaal's dog, Boo, licked my hindquarter at the Beverly Hills Farmers Market around the time of "Beagleback Mounting." I could feel some dog's hot breath on my ass before I turned around and recognized him by his tall owner engrossed in a copy of Blueboy and trying to hide his erection. Boo let out some gas and a burp, slobber rolling from his tongue. It was sexy. Wha' can I say? I'm not a slut but if you offer it I'll hump it.
I was with my two legged personal walker BF who was in a fucking ass hurry to get a deal on fresh heirloom tomatoes, so I didn't get a chance to sneak behind the tables for a quickie. I made sure to throw up in his car on the way home.
Oh, the memories of young, ready, short hind legs."
6:39 AM - there are Jake fans who support Reese Witherspoon??????????

Thanks for the info, 5:42AM. I hadn't heard the story about the gay man's mom. I always considered Target gay-friendly, which is one of the reasons I liked to shop there. I think you're right about what Ted is trying to say. I didn't read a lot of comments at AT, but I did see that a couple people read that and said "Look, Ted just said Clooney is straight!" LOL. They've either never read a Ted column before or they'd never been to Target.
The pictures of Bomer and the kid is adorable. Looks like it was probably from the Shrek premiere and Simon's kid. Interesting that he posed for the fan photo with him--and just shows again that he might not be talking about his life for the press, but he is not out there hiding in his life.
So, is Queerty going to talk about how it was Mozie who was crushing on a woman this week?
I don't mind hearing about Reese, I find it interesting to see what phony tactics she's pulling, plus the pot-smoking story shows that she is still wrapped up in Jake's life.
Great news about Bomer getting a Breakthrough award and more attention. I want to see this man on the big screen!

Randi Reitan is a mother of a gay son and grandmother who shops at Target but won't anymore because of its anti-gay donation to Minnesota Forward PAC, which contributed to ads for anti-gay gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer.
She took her protest directly to the store, and shot this video.
Says Reitan: "They've lost that $226.32. And they've lost every purchase from my family. What's important in life is people. I love the people in my life. I love them more than anything I could buy at this store. I'm going to boycott Target until they make this right."
Note: There is now a Facebook group pushing a Target boycott.
Towleroad
Thanks for the link, 10:44AM. Good for Randi Reitan! I've always been pleased with Target's support of the LGBT community and their donation to Emmer is really disappointing. I hope Target's top management takes this seriously and addresses it in a way that will make me want to shop there again.
It’s Prop 8 Decision Day and California is exporting as much angst and anticipation as a Jim Jarmusch film. Whichever way the winds blow this afternoon, we can be certain of three things: Death, taxes and the losing side will appeal.
But make no mistake; August 4, 2010 will be a momentous day in the history of LGBT law. Today’s decision will mark the first time a federal district court has ruled explicitly on the constitutionality of a voter-approved initiative that withdrew marriage equality rights from millions of Californians. It will tell the story of why millions of dollars were spent to prevent committed gay couples from marrying and whether that story merits legal legitimacy. It will also set the stage for the upcoming legal battles at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court.

Dear Ted:
How often on-the-set affairs happen? I am not just talking about movie sets, but on TV network sets. Those stars have to get pretty close on those long hours, and if the show is long-running, they can be bonded together ("in secret") for years. Are they as crazy and scandalous as they seem, or are sets just as normal and boring (not to mention disappointing) as people say? If they do happen, how are they not more out in the open?
—Leila
Dear Set Snoop:
Define affair. Sure, costars canoodle (and more) between takes—sometimes the muy caliente chemistry just carries over. But what's far more interesting are the costars who want you to think they're getting it on when the director yells "cut!" But don't be fooled, they so aren't.
Dear Ted:
With all due respect, do you expect us to believe that for the last five years Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens have signed a contract to pretend to be lovers just so the public wouldn't suspect his sexual orientation? First, they both deserve Oscars, have you seen the way they look at each other when they're alone in candid? Next, he could date a different girl everyday to keep up the ruse. Finally, I for not one second think that Zac Efron is gay, he is way too much of a flirt. He's way too smart to stay with someone because of a contract and your basically calling for being paid to be a beard. Unless you have absolute proof I don't think you should insinuate things that can destroy these young, nice, actors' careers. Thank you.
—A Fan
Dear Assuming:
These two like each other; I never said otherwise. And I certainly never mentioned a "contract"—how very Tom-and-Nicole conspiracy theory of you! Plus, I don't think little-old me is going to hurt either of their red-hot careers. Well, Zac's anyway.
I'm horny!
Good, at least you don't ask for food!

Judge Walker just announced that he has ruled against Prop 8 and for the gays in California.
A source has confirmed that he’s ruled it unconstitutional under both the due process and equal protection clauses. More updates to come as we get them! For now, celebrate! (@nymag)
YES!!!
WOW!!! :) The times, they are a'changin'.
under both the due process and equal protection clauses.
:)
Woo Hoo!!!
Now come the years of appealing, during which time the judge will probably stay marriages. :-(
This afternoon U.S District Judge Vaugh Walker ruled in the case brought before him by lawyers Ted Olson and David Boies, which argued that the Proposition 8 ballot initiative denying marriage rights to same sex couples in California was unconstitutional. In a decision just handed down to lawyers for both sides, Walker ruled in that Proposition 8 is "unconstitutional under both the due process and equal protection clauses." The court, therefore, "orders entry of judgment permanently enjoining its enforcement." We're staying tuned for more updates and details on the 136-page decision, but these two sentences from the conclusion are critical:
"Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license. Indeed the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California constitution the notion that opposite sex couples are superior to same sex couples."
That's what history sounds like. Of course, before the ruling was released, lawyers for the opposing side filed a motion to stay his ruling pending an appeal to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Update: Good as You has a PDF of the decision.
NY Mag
LOL. The letter is a stitch. Not surprising that Zac Efron has his own version of babbler fangirls.
^ Wait just a dang minute. If the poster believes that Zac E. is not gay and don't believe the rumors, unless, there is concrete evidence, then sees the evidence, there is nothing wrong with the posters position. It's obvious that anyone that you think has gay rumors and you agree with the rumors,it has to be true. But only if you agree. Well, you can believe what you want but it does not confirm a damn thing. Only thing it does confirm is your ignorance. Especially when you quickly start shouting out some lame tactic as everyones a babbler if they don't believe as you. It's also obvious that you live at babbler central. I'm quit sure most posters here don't even know of this babbler site. I'm one of them. But we know who does know all about the babbler site. YOU
Marriage/misery is the great equalizer.
The court, therefore, "orders entry of judgment permanently enjoining its [Prop 8's]enforcement."

Yes. Judge Vaughn Walker is gay.
It was kept under the radar so the 1) NOM wouldn't accuse him of prejudice (but I'm sure it will be part of the appeal) and 2) Walker wouldn't be pressured to overcompensate for his "fairness" and agree with NOM.
Judge Vaughn Walker is gay.
Based on what?
He likes men.

do you have a LJ with Atticus slash? Loved it. :)
Original article re Walker in SF Gate.
LOL I wrote 6:58, just copied from 5:59 who is the real genius! I wrote Shit. Another voice mail with someone barking. Damn crank callers. which still has me laughing imagining Ted getting voice mails of Atticus barking.
Judge Vaughn Walker is gay.
Thanks, that's great!
I wonder if Judge Walker will get a lot of marriage proposals now. Brains, fairness and power makes him look really sexy!

Wow all over they kept tabs on Prop 8.
Did anyone else here have slow computers/twitter/facebook/internet connections today? I did (kinda still am) and I'm trying to figure out if it's my computer, my @#!$ internet service, websites or overload from Prop 8.
No, sorry.

Thanks 6:55 #1. Don't be sorry! I'm in Cali so maybe that has something to do with it.
West Hollywood Park
LOL, a park in West Hollywood or the west side of Hollywood Park (the horse race track)?!
Hey now we can get married!
Now I can get married to that stud in the next stall who's hung like a horse.
4:49, calm down and make yourself a drink, lol. Not believing that someone is gay doesn't make them a "babbler" type - it's the over-defensiveness, the ridiculous reasoning, the sanctimony and the melodrama (you're destroying their careers!) that make them babbler types.
Great news on Prop 8! Still a lot of work to be done, though!
Comments on Dowd's article about HW scripts
Jon
Concord, NH
So, there we have it. A true paradox! Love has simply been manufactured by poets and songwriters throughout history so that every day citizens can have something to believe in; something to live for. My good friend has a theory that everything we do as young men, from the careers we choose, to the furniture we buy, is so that some woman in the future that we haven't even met, will be impressed. I guess it's either that, or love actually exists like it did in the movies of old.
I'll tell you what happened to love stories. Creativity became cheesy to homophobes like me. There will no longer be two young, happy, carefree people meeting on the Aspen ski slopes on a chilled, sunny day in February, just before Valentine's Day. What we'll see now is, ironically, a brutal version of the truth; a woman questioning three things in a man respectively. 1) How handsome is he?; 2) How wealthy is he?; and 3) How much power does he have over others (i.e. confidence).
But; you are forgetting one truly beautiful love story made only a few years ago. Forget about 'The Notebook,' where a country bred woman gives up a smart, handsome young man on the fast track to becoming an astronaut for an obsessive redneck who knows construction. It's far too unrealistic! The only true love story of my generation was Brokeback Mountain. It was the only film in the last twenty years to portray what I always imagined love would feel like.

Years ago a straight friend was trying to convince me to see the movie The Cutting Edge. I was "ewww I hate romcoms" and he told me he did too but it was really different and he loved it. He was right and now it's one of my favorite classics. Idk how LAOD will be but I hope it will appeal to both genders like TCE does.
Idk how LAOD will be but I hope it will appeal to both genders like TCE does.
From what I've read about it, it sounds like it has something for everyone. Romance, frat-boy type comedy, drama, and a "message" (health care, prescription drugs).
Zachary Quinto's is great :)
Celeb Reactions to the Overturning of Prop 8
LOL I'm in California and 99% of the celebs didn't say shit about Prop 8 when it was on the ballot. It passed and they were outraged, it got knocked down and every celeb and her sister are crowing and celebrating. Where were they before the election? HW celebs IMO are a bunch of wimpy ass sheep ready to jump on a bandwagon, after someone else does it first.
I agree 8:54pm I agree!
I'd be curious as to how many of these celebs are registered voters, and if they voted in that election. Call me a cynic but I doubt very many did.
We (in California) have a woman running for Governor (Meg Whitman) and it was discovered that she hadn't voted in 28 years. 28 FRICKING YEARS! I'm willing to bet a lot of celebs especially the ones hopping on the Prop 8 victory wagon haven't voted in eons.
I remember when Paris Hilton was running around wearing the "Vote or Die" t-shirts that were popular during the 2004 election and then it was discovered she wasn't registered to vote, lol.
Reactions to Prop 8 ruling CNN
White House: "The president has spoken out in opposition to Proposition 8 because it is divisive and discriminatory. He will continue to promote equality for LGBT Americans."
California Attorney General Jerry Brown: "In striking down Proposition 8, Judge Walker came to the same conclusion I did when I declined to defend it: Proposition 8 violates the equal protection guarantee of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution by taking away the right of same-sex couples to marry, without a sufficient governmental interest."
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger: "For the hundreds of thousands of Californians in gay and lesbian households who are managing their day-to-day lives, this decision affirms the full legal protections and safeguards I believe everyone deserves. At the same time, it provides an opportunity for all Californians to consider our history of leading the way to the future, and our growing reputation of treating all people and their relationships with equal respect and dignity."
The other ones, pro Prop 8, are truly laughable. That marriage is between a man and a woman because they make babies and people have the right to vote on others' civil rights. The ones above, the President of the USA, the Ca Atty General, and the Ca Governor are the most important IMO, and they are against Prop 8.
Btw it's long been rumored (since the 1970's) that Jerry Brown might be gay. He was "dating" singer Linda Ronstadt back then and it was a lol thing like how Reeke was (no one really believed it). IIRC a few years back he left politics, joined a monastery, then got back into politics as our atty general (he was our governor and something else in the 70s/80s). He might be gay but tbh he could be asexual (to some people sex isn't a priority). Idk.
7:44PM, thank you for the Dowd link. Love her.
In May 2009, when we learned Chad Griffin had lined up Ted Olson and David Boies to argue the shit out of Prop 8's unconstitutionality, America and California's Gay Inc. groups were furious. Now they're so happy!
HRC joined Freedom to Marry, ACLU, Lamda Legal, GLAAD, Victory Fund, Log Cabin Republicans, and PFLAG in denouncing the Perry v. Schwarzenegger lawsuit, saying in an open letter, "Rather than filing premature lawsuits, we need to talk to our friends, family and neighbors, and help them understand why denial of the freedom to marry is wrong."
By June 2009 many of them had come around, or come around long enough to say they hoped the lawsuit at least didn't go poorly. And then some of them demanded Griffin & Co. let them in on their high-profile case; he was like, "Oh hell no!" (By June 2010, HRC was talking about how it was "hopeful" our side would prevail.)
Fast-forward to today, when all these groups were bouncing off the walls.
.....
Now it's not like these groups don't have a right to be happy. They do. And they should! But if everybody took their advice last year — and opted not for a federal lawsuit, but a continued piecemeal strategy that's an exercise in two steps forward, one-to-three steps back — we'd be here in August 2010 still with our tails between our legs. And while Perry has a long way and likely several years to go before today's ruling becomes the law of the land, it is unarguably the most significant victory in the history of the marriage equality battle. And HRC, an organization devoted to securing federal equality, didn't have a single hand in it.
These Gay Inc. groups proved that while they remain sometimes useful, they are not necessary to securing LGBT rights. That is a shift change only one year ago might have seemed unthinkable.
