Sherman Helmsley has no comment, Katey Sagal has plenty to say, and Michelle Bachmann writes down her thoughts. Today’s AggreGAYtor is a pleasure to burn.

• The National Stonewall Museum and Archives chickens out on showing Jeff Larson exhibit; because when you get right down to it, Stonewall was really about silencing our voices.

• I’m not sure what splitting bologna means, but I’m intrigued.

• Gay sheriff suing Chicago police for discrimination.

• Voter ID laws heavily marginalize transgender Americans.

• British politician who compared LGBT activists to the “gaystapo” wants to attend bigot of the year ceremony. Here’s hoping planners will follow the example of the Nickolodean Kid’s Choice Awards.

• Russian politician recommends the eat, pray love approach to homosexual conversion…except you’re not allowed to eat or love. Plenty of prayer though folks, a Las Vegas buffet.

• LGBT and two-spirit equality tool kit is introduced at Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians’ annual convention.

• Aged enfant terrible Hugh Grant and ageless Peggy Bundy actress Katey Sagal make videos supporting marriage equality.

• Girls rule, boys drool says new Boston College study.

• Michelle Bachmann, the result of teenage witch Fairuza Balk’s misguided attempt to communicate with a possum, is using the National Organization for Marriage's mailing list for her campaign.

• Speaking of NOM, they are continuing the fine right-wing tradition for dubiously redefining rape.

• New Jersey archvillianbishop denies communion for supporters of LGBTQIA and reproductive rights.

• DC police are looking into assault on trans woman, one of five transphobic incidents in the last two weeks.

• Buffalo man vandalizes churches with anti-religion and homophobic screeds.

• Hong Kong billionaire offers $65 million to any man able to convert his lesbian daughter. Although this is obviously gross, Gigi and I are now very happy on our own private island. Sometimes we even visit each other’s chateaus to take a few smiling pictures.

• Pro marriage equality ads include everyone but the gays.

• Eastenders actor Gary Lucy talks about sleeplessness before filming gay kiss. Silly Gary, the sleepless night comes after the gay kiss.

• Bullied Oklahoman teen takes own life in front of classmates.

• Probably gay actor Sherman Helmsley is frozen in El Paso pending DNA tests.

• The University of Houston will let anyone speak these days.

• Earlier today, a coalition of LGBTQIA and civil rights groups met to press Austin City Council on marriage equality. You can sign the petition here.
