We interrupt our spy reports to announce:

A new installment of the I Like Your Glasses series is happening.

Queer Ladies Literary Speed Dating…for those who’d rather be judged by their book cover.

June 26 at Housing Works Bookstore Cafe. Reserve your spot here.

Design & illustration by Andrea Sparacio (artsparrow).

I Like Your Glasses is back! Tickets now available for Queer Ladies Literary Speed Dating here at the bookstore on Wednesday, June 26. Get them fast, last time it sold out in only a couple weeks!

We listened to feedback about the first ILYG speed dating, and hope to make this one even better than the awesome first installment. And we’re inviting queer ladies according to demand and to celebrate Pride Week; we’re happy to host a M4M speed dating, if you’re interested in an event like that please let us know! And we hope to do a M4W/W4M speed dating event in late August.

“We knew as soon as we set foot in Housing Works Bookstore Cafe in SoHo that we wanted to be married there. It’s located in a gorgeous New York townhouse on a classic cobblestone street. The bookstore space was everything we wanted: intimate, romantic, and, best of all, filled with books.” (via Manhattan Wedding from Olya Vysotskaya Photography | Style Me Pretty)

Gorgeous photos of a gorgeous couple getting married in the bookstore! (More info on Housing Works weddings and rentals here.)

AMAZING NEWS I hope! That plus these guys and this week is great.

Updated flyer for pop-up shop with MORE artists! Yeah!

Check out NYC’s new queer bookstore, the Bureau of General Services Queer Division. I love their logo real hard.

At 1:45 a.m., Campaign Manager Richard Carlbom of Minnesotans United for All Families announced to campaign staff and board members that the vote on the proposed constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage in Minnesota was too close to call. As he was about to end his remarks and tell everyone to get some sleep, Carlbom was told by the campaign’s communications director Kelly Schwinghammer, “The AP just called it.” An impromptu, joyous, tear-filled celebration ensued. It was the first time in U.S. history that an anti-gay marriage constitutional amendment had been defeated. (via The Awesome Moment When Minnesotans Found Out Their Anti-Gay Marriage Amendment Wasn’t Going To Pass)

Go to the 2:50 minute mark and start crying.

Words and phrases like “fisting,” “finger-fucking” and “cunnilingus,” were happily deployed throughout the evening and then often met with uproarious laughter rather than uncomfortable squirms. (via For Pride Week, a celebration of queer writing with Ariel Levy and more | Capital New York)
