Good News, Bad News and...some other gay stuff.

Let's start with the bad news. Really bad news. Tragic, really depressing news. Bet that made you wanna keep reading, huh? I'm sure most of you are already well aware, but I've been really busy this week and haven't had a second until now to sit down and update this thing, but earlier this week, after nine years and two children (twins) together, Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Lynn Michaels have announced their split. And with that announcement, comes my complete loss of faith in humanity. Melissa and Tammy are parents to three year old twins, Miller and Johnnie Rose. Melissa also has two other children, thirteen year old, Bailey and twelve year old, Beckett from her previous relationship with Julie Cypher. And despite hearing this sad news, I'm happy to report that the two remains on good terms and that there was no cheating involved.

"There's no third party involved. They just drifted apart over time. There's no animosity whatsoever — they are on friendly terms. They're co-parenting their twins [Miller and Johnnie Rose, 3]. They are living apart but share custody of the kids."

Well, I'm still holding out for them to get back together, but I'll be ok knowing that they remain friendly, I guess.






Let's move on to some happier news, shall we? Again, I'm sure most of you are already well aware, but also earlier this week, President Barack Obama FINALLY granted same-sex couples their hospital visitation rights. It's about freaking time, folks. It's about freaking time.

The memo sent out by the President read as follows:

"Every day, all across America, patients are denied the kindnesses and caring of a loved one at their sides whether in a sudden medical emergency or a prolonged hospital stay.

Affected are "gay and lesbian Americans who are often barred from the bedsides of the partners with whom they may have spent decades of their lives — unable to be there for the person they love, and unable to act as a legal surrogate if their partner is incapacitated."

Amen, sir. One step at a time, that's what it's all about.

President Obama also made a point to give a personal phone call to a woman in Florida named Janice Langbehn who was denied visitation rights when her partner, Lisa Pond passed away in 2007 after suffering from an aneurysm. Lisa died alone. Kudos, Mr. President for stepping in to ensure that this does not need to happen to another same-sex couple across this country.

Now, let's get a move on repealing 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell', huh?

And, in other news, we may not need to panic just yet, fans of '90210'. It seems as if Gia and Adrianna haven't actually broken up yet, despite the ending of last week's episode where we discover that Gia had cheated on Adrianna with her ex, Alexa. We don't get a new episode this Tuesday. Unfortunately, we have to wait until the 27th, but I've heard we might just be ok.

Also, speaking of Rumer Willis:

Until next time,
Love and Lesbians. xx.
