Watercooler: How to target Target
Elizabeth Hasselbeck’s theory of late-in-life lesbianism. The View’s conservative co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck —famously known for making controversial statements—has once again caused an uproar.
During a discussion of “late-in-life” lesbians that would give Adrienne Rich a coronary, Hasselbeck claims the women who pair with other women after
years of heterosexuality are doing so because there are no available
men. “They [men] are leaving women with no one” because they are dating
younger women, she argued.
Hasselbeck’s statement not only makes
lesbianism an act of desperation, but also denies older women their
sexuality, implying that they are desperate for companionship and not
interested in sex.
“Being gay is not just holding hands and
walking through the tulips,” Joy Behar contested. “I don’t think you
suddenly wake up one day and say, ‘Oh, I wanted to do that.’ You wanted
to do it, but you were just trapped in a system that has just said, ‘get
married.’”
Rejected “Idol” sues for $300 million. Ian Benardo , the “American Idol” reject who sole the mic from Dane Cook during
this season’s finale, is suing the show for $300 million for loss of
employment and emotional injuries.
TMZ reports that Benardo filed a suit with the New York State Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission, claiming that Dane Cook personally
threatened him after the show and that an “Idol” producer told him that
Cook wanted to “shove this mic up your ass but you would like it.”

Benardo told TMZ that producers “exploited … my sexual orientation” by instructing him to “gay it up.”
More support for UAFA. A total of 25 cities and municipalities throughout the country—in addition to the entire state of California—support the Uniting American Families Act , according to Out4Immigration . The bill would allow U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to
sponsor their same-sex partners for immigration to the United States.
In
the past two weeks, three cities have joined the list: Lakewood, Ohio,
Cathedral City, California and State College, Pennsylvania. These 25
cities’ elected officials have passed resolutions calling on their
state’s Congressional representatives and Senators to become co-sponsors
of UAFA.
