		<description>As a French journalist in the LGBT press (about to launch Yagg, a new website for French-speaking gays and lesbians, and anyone else who wants to come), I can only agree with you, Sarah. The line between out and closeted isn&#039;t as easy to define as it used to be, which is both good news and making our job more difficult. But that&#039;s part of the challenges - and excitement - of being a journalist, and not simply a way for celebs and politicians to publish their press releases.</description>

		<description>&quot;Around that time on AfterEllen.com, I instituted what I only semi-jokingly referred to as the &quot;no Britney, Paris, or Lindsay&quot; rule, which was intended to keep our writers from covering these topics (and others like them) on the site. Not only because they&#039;re boring, annoying, and repetitive, but because I don&#039;t take pleasure from reading or writing about young women self-destructing.&quot;

Like naturally the only thing one can do is to make fun and hate-on someone when they fall. Like when these women were self-destructing, that that&#039;s ALL they were ever doing or capable of, that that defined them. And they just deserved to be consigned to the scrap-heap. That they did not need support in their hour of darkness, and did not deserve best wishes spoken aloud more than ever. Like for example, when Paris was sent to jail for three weeks and practically the whole world was howling with derision, she couldn&#039;t use any words of charity in letters sent to her from friends and fans like me.

&quot;I still reserve the right not to write about young female celebrities who represent all the wrong things, though. I&#039;ll just call it the &quot;No Britney, Paris or Tila&quot; rule now.&quot;

The writer says because Lindsay has turned her life around, with a little help from her friend, apparently a gay partner, and that it&#039;s is a good thing. So Lindsay is off the s*** list and can now be written about again. Paris and Britney have turned their lives around as well, but apparently they still deserve to be kept down. And since Lindsay&#039;s reserved spot in infamy is now freed up, let&#039;s just damn another woman to hell.

I have been not been a fan of Tila Tequila... until now, that is. Thanks afterellen.com, for showing this fighter of lost causes, which way the hate blows most.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m glad for Lohan and Ronson. They both have to battle the media AND their careers while putting smiley faces on themselves. If I could make a suggestion to them: I don&#039;t think either woman has completed their education. Now would be the time to enroll in a college and get a degree. It doesn&#039;t have to be so intense that it would jeopardize their careers. Lindsey could experiment with different roles. She&#039;s at the point in her career that people would approve and just want to see how she handles them.</description>

		<description>This does kind of represent the goal, doesn&#039;t it? Like 365gay.com, the marriage equality movement, librals in generals really, we all want people to  truly treat same-sex relationships the same as different-sex relationships and announcing &quot;Yeah, we&#039;re lesbians&quot; would be like Brad and Angelina going &quot;Yeah, we&#039;re straight&quot;... it just sounds stupid. MAYBE the reason they didn&#039;t say it is because they&#039;re trying to point out that it doesn&#039;t matter?</description>

		<description>Now if only we can get that misogynist, lesbian hating PerezHilton to stop making repugnant remarks about Linsay and Samantha.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m glad that you&#039;ve made this decision, Sarah.  The fact that you don&#039;t necessarily have to flat-out state &quot;I&#039;m Gay!&quot; is a sign of progression, and it&#039;s good that AE is able to adjust with the times.</description>
