San Francisco Files Federal Motion To Throw Out Prop 8, Boycott Bruno, Who Doesn't Love Lambert, Hilton Stalks Lambert, Ryan Phillippe, Michael Urie

Arguing that despite assertions from proponents of Proposition 8 that the ballot measure act was passed in order to protect and promote traditional marriage, the real intent of the amendment was to harm gays and lesbians and articulate a “moral disapproval” of them, the city of San Francisco late Thursday filed a motion in federal court asking that Prop 8 be overturned. Citing a Supreme Court decision in 1996 in that struck down Colorado’s ban on gay rights measure was unconstitutional, the city contends that Proposition 8 was motivated by nothing less than hate and that it violates that right of gays and lesbians to live free of discrimination.

Thankfully, GLAAD has gone where apparently no one, including gay bloggers, wanted to go, asking Universal to include a message at the end of Bruno, the Sacha Baron Cohen film to be released in July, that would have been of support for and tolerance of gays and gay rights. The request was denied. The film, which I saw in May, much like everything and anything Cohen does (anyone really admit to enjoying Ali G? Ever?) traffics heavily in stereotypes, and is less a liberating look at gay clichés than a lame attempt humor that is honestly offensive. Cohen, who reminds me a slightly snootier Ben Stiller, argues that like Borat the intent is to challenge popularly held beliefs and convictions, but the awkward execution effectively frustrates those goals. Instead the film justifies any number of poor perceptions about gays, including, and most horrid, the idea that all gays are effeminate and that gay sex is repulsive and unnatural. Reinforcing the negative, as Cohen does repeatedly, without context, (again, to reference Ali G) is hardly in keeping with the lofty ideal of challenging societal prejudices.

Kris Allen says that his wife has a major crush on Adam Lambert.

Perez Hilton worries, worries that Adam Lambert will fall the way of Lindsay Lohan, overspending, living large and beyond his means, a misstep away from being homeless, both continuing the unhealthy interest Hilton has with Lambert and again, confirming that Hilton is indeed an idiot.

Ryan Phillippe, the most beautiful man in the world also continues his domination as Hall of Fame DILF, out and about with son Deacon this past Wednesday.

Michael Urie, leaving a taping of It’s On with Alexa Chung Thursday, being, well, really, really happy. How much do I love this man!
