The world’s most ‘accurate’ news source, the Globe, headlines a gay scandal involving President Barack Obama. A picture of a distressed Michelle and, of course, the shirtless pic from Obama’s Hawaiian beach vacation graced the cover.

Here’s the lil’ blurp from the article:

“PRESIDENT Barack Obama is caught up in a new gay sex and drug scandal – and his loving wife is heartbroken, sources tell GLOBE in a blockbuster world exclusive. Find out all the details of the letter Michelle Obama received from the MAN who claims to be her husband’s lover – and how America’s devastated First Lady is fighting back against a shocking new tell-all book. It’s must reading!”

U.S.GAY, U.S.GAY, U.S.GAY! [Queerty]

U.S President Barack Obama gives his inaugural address during his inauguration as the 44th President of the United States of America on the West Front of the Capitol January 20, 2009 in Washington, DC. Obama becomes the first African-American to be elected to the office of President in the history of the United States.

Woot, woot! Did anyone see the anti-Christ protest?

Dear Barack Obama,

Look, you’re a great guy. It was nice getting to know you the past two years and I truly believe you are a brilliant man that is destined to change this great country.

Please believe me when I say this… it’s not me, it’s you.  It’s all your fault! I want a civil union divorce.

I am tired of the 20 weekly emails I get from your campaign asking me for money. Me, out of all people. I have like $3  in the bank man. Stop stiffing me.

I find it amazing how you can still email me while you’re running around shirtless on the beach of Hawaii with that wife of yours.

I need money, Obama. I’m a college male whore — an unsuccessful one — I have two dogs to feed and a retarded family to tend after. I should be receiving disability money living the lifestyle I do.

It’s time Obama. Until you stop harassing me with your emails, this is definitely not going to work.

Fashion photographer Adam Bouska, 25, is changing the political mindset of  Californian youths.

In a protest towards the recently passed Proposition 8 bill which banned gay marriages in the state of California, –  alongside picketing with pitchforks — Bouska had decided to take a more creative route to vent his exasperation for the homophobes.

The Los Angeles photographer began doing a series of photoshoots featuring youths against H8.

“I want to say thank you to everyone for the overwhelming support regarding the NO H8 photo campaign. Last weekend I invited more ‘NO H8′ers into the studio to add to the growing collection,” Bouska said in his blog Dec 22.

Not surprisingly, a lot of the men in Bouska’s campaign are rather ’stunning’ looking. You can see the set after the jump.

“A video showing football stars speaking out against homophobia will be released next year as part of an unprecedented drive by the sport’s governing bodies to tackle a sharp rise in abuse and discrimination,” The Guardian reports.

The UK Football Association has set aside a budget of $20,000 euros, which is $28,226.31 USD, and hopes that an advertising firm will help pick up the cause at a minimal rate.

“We’re delighted that the FA has decided to produce and fund the video, it will have a hugely positive impact on young people and help to challenge bigoted attitudes among fans,” Tatchell said.

The FA hopes that up to a dozen players including David Beckham, Rio Ferdinand, Sol Campbell, David James, Wayne Rooney, Ashley Cole and Cristiano Ronaldo, will be “persuaded” to take part.

Rick Warren is trying to jump the gay bandwagon. Warren visited West Hollywood’s ‘Out of the Closet’ thrift store yesterday, TMZ reports.

FROM TMZ:
“That’s Warren on the right (naturally), his arm around Erol Sarabi, who is openly gay. Warren, who supports the ban on gay marriage which has not sat real well with some Obama supporters, bought 8 to 10 books, two of which were his own (that doesn’t help with his Amazon ranking).

Warren told Sarabi not to believe everything he reads, that he does a lot for AIDS research and was happy that Out of the Closet does free AIDS testing.

By the way, Warren gave a signed copy of his book to Sarabi. The inscription from the Bible, Proverbs 19:21: ‘Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”

Our great ol’ president came under shoe-fire Sunday in Baghdad after a man hurled two shoes at him during a news conference.

Iraq’s Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki tried to block US President George W. Bush from the dangerous assault after an Iraqi journalist threw two size 10 shoe at Bush during a joint press conference and signing ceremony at Maliki’s private office.

The secret service immediately took action and dragged the journalist out of the building. [Video after the jump]

Wednesday, Dec. 10 marks International Human Rights Day and according to a Facebook group — which apparently spammed all my friends with add request — today is also ‘A Day Without a Gay.’ The groups mission is for you gays to call in to your work and request off, close a business if you own one and take action, “unless you may get fired because you are gay or lesbian,” of course.

I wish I could participate with a goodwill intent, but I have my final exams to worry about. Bright side is I’m definitely not going to my day job today… simple because I’m a lazy bastard.

The world took a miraculous turn Nov. 4 for –hopefully — the best with the election of President-Elect Barack Obama. A few hours later we found out that California’s Proposition 8, which bans gay marriage, had passed. Without a doubt that was one of the biggest disappointment in politics that I have ever endured.

Now I have something to smile about… at Change.gov, Obama has laid out his plans for the LGBT community which includes: 1) Combating workplace discrimination, 2) Expand Hate Crimes Statutes, 3) Support Full Civil Unions and Federal Rights for LGBT Couples, 4) Oppose a Constitutional Ban on Same-Sex Marriage, 5) Repeal Don’t Ask-Don’t Tell, 6) Promote AIDS Prevention, 7) Expand Adoption Rights and 8) Empower Women to Prevent HIV/AIDS.

That’s a lot to do in four years. Do you think he can make it happen? Let’s hope he can fulfill all his promises.
