Out of curiosity, when's an openly gay male going to be appointed to anything?
Semi-femme Lesbians: the kind of homosexual everyone in America can agree on.
I'm not being anti-lesbian, by any means, just pointing out the "safety" of choosing or presenting a lesbian as the face of a kinder, gentler LGBT movement. While lesbian comediennes clog the airwaves, can you name a single openly gay non-niche comedian (Ant doesn't count)? While every politician seems to have an openly lesbian daughter or sister, why don't you ever hear about their openly gay male son or brother? While MSNBC is happily letting America know that Rachel Maddow is an out lesbian, why is CNN still keeping Anderson Cooper's closet door locked (and why did CNN fire Thomas Roberts when *he* came out of the closet)?
Look, we have to start somewhere, and this is great news. I'm also hoping Obama will pick Kathleen Sullivan (an openly gay legal mastermind) for the Supreme Court. But when the only openly gay male in politics is Barney Frank, you know, gay guys, step it up a bit.

And I don't mean this as a screed against anything -- just as a voice of frustration that America seems to like its out gays in the lesbian variety only, thank you.

Knock-knock.
Who's There?
Condi Rice.
Condi Rice who?
What do you mean Condi Rice who? She was the fucking Secretary of State, you moron.

How many Condi Rice's does it take to screw in a light bulb?
How did Condi Rice get inside a lightbulb???

To deprive you of your civil liberties.

Condi Rice walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "why the long face?"
And Condi says, "because I helped start an illegal war."

Roses are red;
Violets are blue:
If you ever meet Condi Rice,
Don't mention her "pretty smile." She'll think you're overcompensating by saying something nice about what is clearly her worst feature.

Answer: she "can't recall".
