This Week in Pink - January 26, 2007 to NOW

Here are some great posts by LGBT bloggers from this past week:

• Pam Spaulding covers the current presidential candidates' positions on Don't Ask/Don't Tell. Interesting read, as 55% of Americans don't like it, and it's hurting America, why do we still have it?
  
• Joe at Joe.My.God solves the mystey of Donnie Davies. Spoiler: It was a hoax.
  
• Don Sherfick found out that Colts coach Tony Dungy is fundraising for a heterosexist group, the Indiana Family Institute. All I can say is: Go Superbowl!
  
• Oh, you just have to see this post about the Connecticut marriage bill from the kids at Good As You.
  
• Jasmyne Cannick blogs about her time working at GLAAD.

This Week in Pink: An Ode to my Sugar Daddy

This week's queer musical interlude: Final Fantasy's cover of Joanna Newsom's "Peach, Plum, Pear".


And what we have to remember this week by in queer blog posts:

• The kids down at Good As You obsess over Donny Davies, internet star extraordinaire.
  
• Bil Browning's out to take down some gay-ish Indiana lawmakers. The question remains: will he catch my heroin-addicted, orgy-lovin' sugar daddy on the IN House judicial commit... oops! I said too much!
  
• Pam Spaulding raises some interesting questions about the legitimacy of Hillary's stand on GLBT rights. She'll answer your questions, Pam, once she's finished her national polling on them, analyzed the results according to respondent's current likelihood of voting for her in the primary, and then triangulated her position with likely Republican cross-overs and found the right framing for swing voters. Gosh! Give her a minute!
  
• Jasmyne Cannick defends Isaiah Washington and tells gay community to look in the mirror when it comes to discrimination.
  
• Jim at Box Turtle Bulletin points out that Americans are exporting homophobia to Europe. And I still can't find a bottle of Ranch dressing in Paris!
  

This Week in Pink: Do we question gay escorts' sexualities? Oh, yes, we do.

It seems like the gays only want to talk about being gay, acting gay, loving gay, and other gays. And that's OK with us, because it gives us something to round up at the end of the week for you. Here are what we thought were some memorable posts by gay bloggers this week:

• America's now-eclipsed favorite gay escort Jeff Gannon actually makes a point we agree with, that Pastor Ted going into gay rehab won't help other queer folk, but leaves us wondering if Jeff himself is actually gay. Too bad he doesn't allow comments on his blog anymore so we can ask.
  
  
• Andrew Sullivan, in a shocking post, engages in a little shameless self promotion. We give the attempt 4 out of 5 pizza slices; we wanted a nude pic.
  
  
• The good folks at Proceed at Your Own Risk took a break from showing semi-pornographic pics to chide Pastor Ted's ouster Mike Post for breaking the Call Boy Code of Ethics, and they even brought in a guest expert.
  
  
• The queerty kids remind us what this week's elections were really about: Mark Foley.
  
  
• And Pam Spaulding lays out the homosexual agenda for the next two years on the Hill. Long and short of it: she doesn't think that homophobia's gone.
