I like Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl," but it strikes me as the sort of song that would piss off an actual lesbian. Then again, it was named on Time's Entertainment Podcast as one musician's favorite "gay song" on the True Colors tour. For whatever that is worth.

If that weren't indication enough of what it means to be on the Board of a journal, the only items in the kitchen are ( Read more... )
