Ellen DeGeneres And Portia De Rossi Steal The Show At The People's Choice Awards
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi looked lovely as they walked the red carpet together at the People’s Choice Awards at Nokia Theatre LA Live on Wednesday evening.

The pair were all smiles and posed for photos, DeGeneres in an all-white ensemble while de Rossi rocked an electric blue jumpsuit by Zuhair Murad.

Hosts Anna Faris and Allison Janney poked fun at DeGeneres at the start of the show, joking that she told CBS she couldn’t host the event herself due to her busy schedule. Seems she made time for the fans, though. Go Ellen!

If Your Antigay Propaganda Hinges On The “Sounds Of Sodomy,” Prepare For This To Happen

If Your Antigay Propaganda Hinges On The “Sounds Of Sodomy,” Prepare For This To Happen

Screen Shot 2015-01-07 at 1.35.14 PMAn unidentified group opposing marriage rights for gay people in Ireland recently mass-distributed a flier in an attempt to win over voters when the issue goes on the ballot in May.

“At this very moment the liberal agenda conspires to undermine God’s Word and is drafting law to allow homosexuals to adopt children,” the leaflet warns.

But as you can see in the photo, it also opens with a big question — “Should children be exposed to the sounds of sodomy?”

Later it goes on to ask, “Should the sounds of sodomy echo in the halls of a Christian home?”

Supporters of same-sex marriage are having a field day with the term “sounds of sodomy” — it does have a nice ring to it, after all — and have been blowing up social media to mock the unintentionally hilarious turn of phrase.

Here are some of our favorite replies that win the internet:

Does sodomy make the same sound when practiced by straight couples? #soundsofsodomy

Rachel Maddow Looks At Anti-Gay Former VA Governor Bob McDonnell's Dramatic Sentencing Hearing: VIDEO

Rachel Maddow Looks At Anti-Gay Former VA Governor Bob McDonnell's Dramatic Sentencing Hearing: VIDEO

Maddow

As we reported yesterday, anti-gay former Virginia governor Bob McDonnell was sentenced to only two years in prison after being convicted on 11 counts of corruption this past September. The sentencing was somewhat of a shock to observers, as McDonnell had originally faced up to two decades in prison for his crimes. Even after the sentencing guidelines were reduced to between six-and-a-half and eight years, the final sentence still fell dramatically short of the minimum recommended incarceration period.

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow dug into the bizarre and dramatic moments in the courtroom during yesterday’s hearing, including a look into the fraught politics of McDonnell’s marriage. You’ll recall his wife was also convicted of corruption and was chosen as the scapegoat for Mr. McDonnell by both his lawyers and other members of his family, including his daughter.

'Mrs. Doubtfire' Arson Suspect Arrested By San Francisco Police

'Mrs. Doubtfire' Arson Suspect Arrested By San Francisco Police
SAN FRANCISCO — Police on Wednesday arrested a woman they say set fire to a home that was prominently featured in the Robin Williams comedy “Mrs. Doubtfire.”

The front door and garage of the house in the upscale Pacific Heights neighborhood were damaged by the fire set on Monday night, according to KGO-TV. A plastic surgeon who resides there stamped out the flames.

Tyqwon Welch, 25, was charged with attempted murder, criminal threats, trespassing, arson and possession of an incendiary device. Police arrested her in San Jose on Wednesday morning.

The house is a popular tourist attraction because of the movie. Douglas Ousterhout, the doctor who lives there, specializes in working with transgender patients. NBC Bay Area reported that police were investigating one of Ousterhout’s former patients as a suspect. Police declined to comment.

Ousterhout didn’t return calls from The Huffington Post. Attempts to reach Welch’s relatives were unsuccessful.

Janet Porter Will Suffer Headaches To Spite LGBT Support: AUDIO

Janet Porter Will Suffer Headaches To Spite LGBT Support: AUDIO

Janet Porter

Janet Porter of Faith 2 Action, a far right social conservative activist group, has been suffering no shortage of headaches since her failed attempts to spread the Texas GOP’s ex-gay therapy resolution last summer, what with the march of progress and all that, but she is willing to suffer through them without any relief in order to spite Tylenol and their pro-LGBT corporate stance.

Said Porter after seeing the new Tylenol ad that features a lesbian couple:

Their campaign to redefine the family is giving me a headache–but I won’t be taking Tylenol. 

We’ve all seen the beautiful Norman Rockwell paintings of a family around the Thanksgiving table. Well now, Tylenol is trying to normalize two lesbians, an ex-husband, and another adult acting as parents. The voiceover says, “Our definition of family is now expanding and blossoming so it’s not this rigid, fixed picture…”

Apparently the ideal of a mom and a dad is too rigid for Tylenol. They want to blossom into some kind of group marriage that reflects the desires of adults instead of what every shred of social science research shows is best for children.

No Tylenol, we’re not swallowing the lie.

And thus are the standard flawed talking points addressed:

  • Pining for a banal, saccharine ideal that never existed
  • Vilifying same-sex couples as abnormal
  • Asserting that since Tylenol is pro-LGBT they therefore must be anti-heteronormative
  • Ignoring family research that finds that the gender and orientation of parents has no adverse effect on children
  • And – as always – “forgetting” that not every family has or even wants children in the mix
