After allegedly robbing a hot dog stand in Chicago’s South Side neighborhood, a 19-year-old man accidentally shot himself in the penis, according to multiple reports.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported that in court Assistant Cook County State’s Attorney Erin Antonietti claimed that Terrion Pouncy held up Maxwell Street Express at gunpoint on Tuesday and demanded money from the stand’s two employees.
Antoinietti went on to claim that after the employees handed over the cash from the register and their wallets, while Pouncy was tucking the gun into his waistband, he accidentally shot himself in the groin.

Margaret Cho has found a new platform in which to spread her knowledge of sex. The comedian and actress is the co-host of TLC’s new late-night talk show, “All About Sex,” which premieres Saturday at 11 p.m.
“For me, this show is kind of like a sexy ‘The View,’ or ‘The Screw’ or it’s ‘Ho-Prah.’ That’s what I like to call it,” Cho told TheWrap.
The series, which will also feature “Chelsea Lately” favorite Heather McDonald and “Hairspray” actress Marissa Jaret Winokur, will “take on the latest headlines, break down the ‘behind closed doors’ conversations about sex and love,...

Good morning! Pride may be over, but we can still be proud year-round.
SyFy loves our use of #Gayliens so much, they used it in this Best Defiance moments countdown.
Juliet Rylance has been cast as a "possible love interest" for Kalinda on The Good Wife. She'll be playing "Holly, a whip-smart Assistant State’s Attorney who shares a past with Kalinda." Yay! I love Kalinda's GFs from the past.
I hope you have better friends than the girl who wrote this: How Not to be a Dick to Your Lesbian Friends.
Indiewire reports that Blue is the Warmest Color is "not likely" to enter the Oscar race this year because of when it will be released. By the next year when its eligible, it will have lost momentum for much-needed Oscar buzz.

Pretty Little Liars' Sasha Pieterse is in talks to star in a new Paul Thomas Anderson film called Inherent Vice. If she does, indeed, get cast, she'll be playing a teenage runaway in the 1970s and her co-stars will be Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon, Owen Wilson, Josh Brolin, and Martin Short. I hope she gets cast and then she is a teen runaway who ends up meeting The Runaways and makes out with Joan Jett. I should write this movie.

The Australian interviewed Gigi Chao, who still loves her dad despite his trying to sell her to a man that could turn her straight. An excerpt:
I don't think you can be certain that homosexuality is something you are born with. I am more of the scientific point of view that sexuality and sexual identity are something that evolves. It is more of a fluid thing. It is like those fish that can change their gender on a whim. I think there is a fluidity in human sexual identity that can be affected by experiences in life.

Good morning!
Just in case you forgot, Sunday is Arrested Development day! Let's celebrate with this portrait from The L.A. Times and a photo of Portia de Rossi from her L.A. Confidential magazine cover party.
Btw, if you need to catch up or rewatch the entire series before the new season, IFC is hosting a marathon all Saturday long.
If you ever see rumors about Pretty Little Liars' Ashley Benson dating someone, it's probably not true. She told the Huffington Post:
That I’m dating all of my friends. Every time I’m hanging out with Tyler [Blackburn], Keegan [Allen], my friend Isaac, my friends who are girls, I’m dating all of them. It’s very strange. I have a new boyfriend, a new girlfriend every week. But I’m single and I don’t have a boyfriend.

I'm super excited that Carol has found a director and it's Todd Haynes, who did Far From Heaven and Mildred Pierce. Out lesbian Christine Vachon, who has made many of my favorite films, will co-produce. Now the adaptation of The Price of Salt can finally get rolling!

He told the cheering crowd: "What a day for Minnesota, and what a difference a year and election can make in our states.

Good morning!
Sarah Paulson attended the after-party for Trust Me at the Tribeca Film Festival with Amanda Peet and Felicity Huffman.
The next night she was at the screening of Mud.
Also at Tribeca, Evan Rachel Wood for the premiere of A Case of You.
Out Hunger Games producer Nina Jacobson was part of a panel on Women in Film at Cinema Con over the weekend. When she was asked about the Fifty Shades of Grey film adaptation and if it was "the best or worst thing" to happen to women, she replied, "Female desire is a very complex subject." Snaps! Nina also accepted the Fandango Fan Choice Award for the movie Hunger Games.
A site called Business2Community has some ideas on how Lgbt consumers can best be reached. I hope Chik-Fil-a is paying attention.

Good morning!
Katee Sackhoff talked with Collider about her bisexual psycho role in Sexy Evil Genius. She was asked if her character is actually crazy or just really good at manipulating her exes:
Isn’t that the question, though? Some of the craziest people I’ve met, in my life, are some of the most brilliant people I’ve met. It’s almost as if they get bored in their own brain and they have to come up with this craziness to stay interested in life. So, I don’t know. I still don’t know. I think that’s up to the viewer. I think there’s probably little bits of both inside of her, for sure.
You can find Sexy Evil Genius on DVD, digital download or VOD.

A new web series called In the Deep follows four friends in London's East End, including Emilia, who "has a confusing ‘thing’ with Riley, her straight best friend who also has a boyfriend."
Here's the first episode.
The Ultimate Fighter is finally putting women on their show and current Ufc contender Miesha Tate said she thinks it's going to be "wild."
I think it's going to be Real World meets Tuf, and I don't know, I have this idea or joke actually that all the girls are going to be like lesbians or hooking up with all the girls, and all the boys are going on there with hope thinking like, "we're gonna be the first guys that have chicks on the show and this is going to be awesome." And the girls are going to be like, "no boys allowed.

The Fenway Institute found that "lesbians and bisexual women are as likely as heterosexual women to develop cervical cancer, but are much less likely to be regularly screened for it, putting them at greater risk of the potentially deadly disease." Get thee to a gyno!
If you're hemming and hawing over joining lesbian dating site, Buzzfeed gives you reasons to just do it.
Australian teen actress Brenna Harding won Most Popular New Female Talent award at the Logies for her role in Puberty Blues, and she thanked her two moms from the stage.
I especially have to thank two women — my beautiful mothers, Vicki and Jackie, who have been so incredibly supportive, and so wonderful, not just in the last three months of shooting, but in all of my 16 years. Thanks so much, mums.
Two stage moms are better than one.

This Justin Bieber manipulation is presented without comment.
BuzzFeed has a piece called "How OKCupid Helped Me Explore My Bisexuality." The writer thought she wanted a threesome, but what she wanted was to have sex with a woman.
BuzzFeed also has a piece on why Megan Rapinoe would make a great Bff. All the reasons they list could easily be in an article on why she'd make a great Gf, too.
Out lesbian Analouisa Valencia is vying for the Miss South Carolina crown. I'd love to see a Miss America with a girlfriend!

Good morning! Tgif!
If you're wondering why someone Lgbt on your Facebook is against marriage, maybe this Salon piece will help explain them to you. Out lesbian law professor Nancy Polikoff explains her reasoning:
My critique of marriage stems from the 1970s. As gay people began talking about this more, there were these questions about using the resources of fledgling legal groups on marriage. There was a significant contingent of people who identified as feminists who said, “This is the wrong approach, this isn’t what we should be doing.” That viewpoint carried the day for a long time. My point of view dates back to long before where we are now.
An interesting perspective! But on the other side of the coin, if you stand with Edith Windsor in her case against Doma, check out this site and add your name.
