Lady Gaga hooks up with Lindsay Lohan, Bryan Fischer considers kidnapping, and Benigno Aquino uses his magic eraser. Today’s AggreGAYtor is stuck in the middle with you.

• Minneapolis/St. Paul Boy Scout Council joins Boston in telling BSA nuh-uh.

President Obama doesn't like the Boy Scouts' gay ban one bit, but he is still down with being the BSA "honorary president." Let's not get too hasty now.

• Tea Party conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi takes Newsweek cover story to heart. The AggreGAYtor hopes he doesn't get any ideas from this week's issue.

• Prose dumpster Bret Easton Ellis rants that Matt Bomer is a bad choice for Fifty Shades of Gray movie lead. You know, because of the gay.

• Philippine President Aquino removes LGBT protection from health care bill despite crippling HIV infection rate.

• Maybe it’s the heat. Arizona Congressional candidate demands apology for mailer that claims he goes both ways.

• Meanwhile, an actually bisexual Idaho House candidate throws in the towel after being outed.

Bryan Fischer shaves off a few brain cells with his loofah and promotes kidnapping of children in same-sex households.

• Doctor hides breast cancer diagnosis from transgender man.

• Sources claim that Lady Gags is working with new BFF Lindsay Lohan for a music video. The AggreGAYtor suggests a frame-by-frame recreation of Aerosmith's Crazy.

• Shameful: The attack reported in Tuesday's post has been revealed to be faked.

• Queerlympian Maartje Pauman leads the Netherlands to field hockey win.

• Nuts. Hawaiian federal judge rules against recognizing marriage equality.

• In further proof that our Lady of Lourdes has lost all relevancy, Madonna trots out pink pro-gay wristbands for Russian concert. Live strong, Madge, live strong.

• Noted booty shaker Hillary Clinton reaches historic AIDS agreement with South Africa.

• Washington marriage equality advocates debut genius swag.

• Bully Dallas Police Sergeant harasses lesbian cops.

The University of North Texas, the AggreGAYtor’s alma-mater, agrees to house a huge LGBTQ community archive. Can I bring back "You go!" for this?
