That Stephen Colbert is always up to no good, and that's why we LOVE him!

Recently, country music star Brad Paisley has been under fire for his controversial collaboration with LL Cool J on Accidental Racist, so naturally the comedian had to throw in his two cents!

After dissecting the lyrics for analysis, Stephen concluded that the tune had done its job by getting people of all races to agree on one thing:

"This song sucks!"

He sure has a way with words!

And the jokes didn't end there, as he decided to

Reason #72,831 why all couples in love should be afforded the right to marry:

Police were called when Roger Gorley refused to leave the bedside of his sick partner, Allen, in a Missouri hospital on Tuesday — cops sided with Allen's family because he and Roger were unmarried.

The cops put Roger in handcuffs, escorted him off the hospital grounds, and even issued a restraining order against him — all because he wanted to be near the man he's been in a civil union with for five years.

Roger and Allen even filled out paperwork legally allowing them to make medical decisions for one another, but none of those documents mattered when Allen's family and the hospital forced Roger to leave.

After being dragged from his lover's bed, Roger sadly admitted:

James Franco dropped a MAJOR reality bomb at the premiere of Spring Breakers at SXSW last night.

…if you wanted some reminding, homophobia is still a HUGE issue today.

The actor has been a part of plenty controversial movies, but it was the gay-themed films — Leather Bar and Kink — that premiered at Sundance which caused him to lose THREE major advertising endorsements!

Being the classy man that he is, James didn't name the three companies, but it looks like it was ALL their loss for giving him the boot because his flick, Oz The Great and Powerful, opened at #1 this weekend!!

Ch-ch-check out the interview and fall even MORE in love with the talented activist (above)!!!

As if we needed anymore reason to love him!

Ever since he won the Super Bowl, Brendon Ayanbadejo's soap box has gotten a lot taller.

Now he can reach more people and spread his most important message: Homophobia in pro sports needs to stop.

He is a straight man, who all on his own took up the fight for LGBT equality in sports.

Chuck Culpepper is a gay sportswriter who is a self-proclaimed "exotic creature" as an aforementioned "gay male sportswriter."

He was also lucky enough to be able to cover the Super Bowl and interview the players before the game.

While in the Ravens' locker room, he spotted a player that he didn't immediately recognize, but after learning who he was, had to go speak to him.

That player was Brendon Ayanbadejo.

Culpepper knew he wanted to talk to him, but didn't know how to handle it. He walked up to Brendon and said the whole interview went a little like this:
