Hint That Obama Will Reference Repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell In State Of Union Address, Women’s Groups Pressure CBS To Drop Tim Tebow Focus On The Family Ad, Adam Lambert And Justin Bieber Are VMAN, Tush, Florian Is An East Village Boy, River Viiperi Loves Coitus, Orlando Bloom

There are reports that the delay in announcing congressional hearings on the ban on gays serving openly in the American military is at the request of the Obama administration because the president may during the State of the Union Address scheduled for Wednesday evening himself announce that military leaders have indicated they are willing to support repealing the ban. The Senate Armed Services Committee is to have another in a series of hearings, and committee chair Senator Carl Levin, a Democrat of Michigan, said senior Defence Department officials make the request to delay any announcements until after the presidential address. In the Wall Street Journal Monday, Richard Socarides, the former Clinton White House advisor on gay issues, wrote of the growing impatience with the Obama administration to take any action at all on repealing the military ban, Socarides saying “Mr. Obama’s oversensitivity to a dwindling minority of bigots” is “especially troubling.”

A coalition of American women’s groups is urging CBS to reject an advertisement scheduled to air during the Super Bowl February 7th, the commercial sponsored by the anti-abortion, anti-gay group Focus on the Family to star Tim Tebow and his mother, Pam. CBS approved the script Friday, but has yet to view the finished film. Jehmu Greene, the president of the Women’s Media Center, said “an ad that uses sports to divide rather than to unite has no place in the biggest national sports event of the year – an event designed to bring Americans together.” The group wrote a letter to CBS that reads in part “By offering one of the most coveted advertising spots of the year to an anti-equality, anti-choice, homophobic organization, CBS is aligning itself with a political stance that will damage its reputation, alienate viewers, and discourage consumers from supporting its shows and advertisers.” Others insist that the day itself is solely for football, and to include a conversation about abortion is a calculated mistake by both the network and Focus on the Family.

The February issue of VMAN, the magazine’s 17th, is subtitled “How To” and features a series on five pretty pop stars – Adam Lambert, Gabe Saporta, Gerald and Mikey Way, and Justin Bieber.
