British singer Neon Hitch has come out as “kind of a lesbian.” What does that even mean? In a revealing interview with the NY Daily News, Hitch discusses her own mother’s relationships with women and she vaguely describes having an affair with a woman that some believe to have been her former roommate, the late Amy Winehouse. Hitch declared, “I have a personal belief that everybody’s gay.”

Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner wrote a compelling pro-gay piece for September’s Politico. In the article, Hefner stated, “The fight for gay marriage is, in reality, a fight for all of our rights. Without it, we will turn back the sexual revolution and return to an earlier, puritanical time. Today, in every instance of sexual rights falling under attack, you’ll find legislation forced into place by people who practice discrimination disguised as religious freedom. Their goal is to dehumanize everyone’s sexuality and reduce us to using sex for the sole purpose of perpetuating our species. To that end, they will criminalize your entire sex life.”
