Gay-friendly… Stand behind… get it?

Because when engaging in certain perfectly valid forms of sexual activity, one person often positions themselves behind… Oh, you know what? Just Google "anal sex diagram" and figure out our pun for yourselves.

At any rate, we're THRILLED to report many American corporations favor equal rights for their customers.

Schnipper's Quality Kitchen, for example, plans to donate a portion of their profits to Marriage Equality USA.

And, yes, this is a very thinly veiled jab at Chick-fil-A and its gay-bashing owner Dan Cathy.

Schnipper's, an NYC staple, plans to donate a buck from every chicken sale for the entire month of August.

That's right, Boy Scouts — you've made the wrong decision to shut down equality from entering in your program.

And we thought you were honorable.

So did MLS, but now they've seen your bad side too… and have decided to drop ties.

We couldn't be more proud of our beloved Muppets!

Although the Jim Henson Company had partnered with Chick-Fil-A this month to release make-your-own-puppet kits as the toy given with kid's meals, the production studio has announced today that they will no longer be associated with the fast food chain due to its public confirmation that they do not support gay rights…and spend $2 million funding organizations fighting same-sex marriage!

Gloria Allred is one busy lady these days!

Aside from the clients she's representing in the lawsuits against John Travolta, the women's right attorney has now taken up another case - a New Jersey woman who is pressing charges against her former employer after she was fired from her a job a day after being told to "tape her breasts down!"

Ch-ch-check out a news report on Lauren Odes, the 29-year-old former data entry worker for Native Intimates, a wholesale lingerie company in Manhattan owned by Orthodox Jews, who is now suing for religious and sexual discrimination (above)!

WELL. This certainly is one for the books, isn't it?

Not entirely sure that's the look we'd prefer to rock while in the workplace, but it's also pretty inneresting that Orthodox Jews would be selling lingerie - especially the kind Odes describes!

And it does seem she went to pretty admirable lengths to abide by a dress code!

Inneresting indeed! We'll let U guys sound off!

What do U think? Does she have a legit case or is this just another one of Allred's side shows??
