STFU gays, a kitchen magnet, vegans, & Rep Joe Wilson

Every Friday, I roundup some of the best flotsam and jetsam that comes into the tip box but doesn't make it into a full post. Here's what I've got to share this week.

STFU Gays. Offensive or hilarious? You decide.
Senators in California approved a bill late Wednesday that recognizes gay and lesbian marriages performed outside the state prior to November 5, 2008.
PFLAG, the Ohio Democratic LGBT Caucus [PDF], and the Kentucky Fairness Campaign endorsed the National Equality March this week.
Women are disproportionately affected by DADT. While women make up 14 percent of Army personnel, 46% of those discharged under DADT in 2007 were women. Lt Col Lissa Young was forced to resign her commission and permanent assignment as a West Point professor directing leadership education.
What vegans can learn from the gay rights movement's successes.
Next Tuesday, September 15, the Metro Nashville Council will hear the proposed non-discrimination ordinance on third and final reading. If you live in Nashville, contact your Council member today.
Obama heckler: 14 things you need to know about Republican Rep. Joe Wilson (SC).
The story behind a kitchen magnet.

Use this an open thread. Blogwhore your own writing, link us to stuff we should see, or just tell us how you're doing. Your call.

Have you heard of Homoshame? (http://www.homoshame.com). It's the same premise as STFU Gays (and Parents and Marrieds, both also on Tumblr) but with random photos instead of a focus on Facebook.

And since I'm talking about blogs, I may as well pimp my own work, hearts for dinner (http://heartsfordinner.wordpress.com). Tommorow I begin my 13-part ANTM recap series! :D

The Vegans article has caused quite a stir since its rather insulting to trans people.

For blogwhoring, well, of course!
