It’s not protecting anyone’s marriage. Not yours. Not mine." She continues: "Please VOTE NO on Proposition 8. And now that you’re informed, spread the word. I’m begging you. I can’t return the wedding gifts — I love my new toaster." [People]

Why didn't it ever occur to me when I was younger that Michael Jackson is probs gay? Watching this live performance of Diana Ross performing "Upside Down," in which Michael joins her on stage, and seeing the way he moves and his love for disco, his orientation should've been obvious. Also, cruising around YouTube, and checking out all the different videos and appearances Diana and Michael have done together — dating all the way back to the '60s — it's clear I should've also realized that they had a Harper Lee/Truman Capote thing going on. More videos after the jump
