I still do not actually know who Lana del Ray is. I could look her up, but based on my Dashboard doing so is a commitment to forming an opinion and I just really don’t give a fuck.

gaywrites:
After weeks of heated discussion in the LGBT community following Cynthia Nixon’s comment that she chooses to be gay, the actress has released a statement clarifying what she meant to say in the original interview.

You can’t prove that it’s not a liberal conspiracy.
There is no need to prove a negative. The burden of proofs lies with the person making the claim. Logic 101. :-)

Rick Santorum: The Constitution is the how for the US, Christianity is the why. The US is the only country where rights come from God. If the government gives you rights, the government can take them away.
