A-MAZING! We knew they could do it!!!!

Last week, we were absolutely THRILLED to learn that the Washington state Senate passed a bill to legalize same-sex marriage!

Now, we're ECSTATIC to report that the house has voted in favor of the bill, which means….

IT WILL BE LEGAL FOR SAME-SEX COUPLES TO GET MARRIED IN WASHINGTON (starting this June).

Here's what Gov. Chris Gregoire had to say about it:

This MUST be stopped before it's signed into law!!!!!!

Yesterday, Russia's second largest city Saint Petersburg approved a bill that will "impose fines of up to $16,700 for the 'promotion of homosexuality.'" Disgusting.

To give you an idea of just HOW horrific this bill is, here's how it's being described in a press release by AllOut.org:

Scarlett Johansson and Co. are thinking outside the box to re-elect President Obama!

The actress co-hosted Runway to Win, a clothing launch where proceeds of the line went towards the POTUS's re-election campaign.

Ranging from totes to clutches to t-shirts, Runway to Win had celebs flocking to NYC a week before Fashion Week.

ScarJo took the time to endorse Obama and listed the following examples of the POTUS's good work:

Yes! It most certainly is!!!

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld Judge Vaughn Walker's ruling invalidating Proposition 8 this morning, confirming that the bill is unconstitutional and should be thrown out! Judges Stephen Reinhardt, Michael Daly Hawkins and N. Randy Smith voted 2-1 that passing the bill goes against this country's Constitution and banning same-sex marriage violates the very foundation of freedom this country was built on!

It's a MASSIVE step in the right direction and EXTRAORDINARY news for all those who want to see real change in this country. With that said, the fight is far from over as ProtectMarriage, the backers of Proposition 8, can appeal the decision to a larger panel of the 9th Circuit or go directly to the U.S. Supreme Court.

You know what? We say, "BRING IT ON!!!!" It seems like more and more, the fair and just people of our government are on the side of equality and we whole-heartedly feel like it will be sooner rather than later that we will see same-sex marriage become legal in California!

Rejoice and spread the good news! Equality for all is on its way!!!

It's about time!

After a year delay, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has announced that a three-judge panel will announce today its ruling on whether or not the ban on same-sex marriage in California, known as Proposition 8, bans the constitutional rights of gays and lesbians!

Apparently, the panel held off on the decision as they wanted to

We love you, Patrick Stewart!

The actor is standing up for women's rights and against domestic violence. Stewart's mother was a victim of domestic abuse and he has become a advocate of Refuge, the U.K.'s first women's shelter.

However, Refuge is facing strict budget limitations and Stewart pleads with the public to help.

He recounts a particularly sad story:

Among many, many, many other things!

In one of the most scathing reports about the former President every printed, a former aide to John F. Kennedy claims that she had an 18-moth affair with the legendary leader in which he took her virginity and forced her to do drugs.

Former White House intern Mimi Alford, now a grandmother, reveals that in the summer of 1962, she began a torrid love affair with JFK that lasted until his assassination. While Jack has notoriously been considered a playboy, this affair was conducted right under the watchful eye of his wife Jackie O — and even in her bed.

According to Mimi,

OHHHH…. WOW!!!

As if we needed further evidence that the GOP is just a big circus…

Republican Congressman John Fleming actually posted an Onion article for his loyal followers to read AS FACT!

The headline boasts
