Morning Brew – Tues. May 14: Tig Notaro loves the Indigo Girls, former WNBA player Tully Bevilaqua gets married to her partner
Good morning! Happy second wedding anniversary to my wonderful wife Julie!
I’m so so thrilled that Minnesota has become the 12th state to legalize marriage equality. I’ve had many a gay time in that state.
Apparently Christopher Guest’s new HBO series Family Tree has a lesbian character “Mildred Budgens (Barbara Bolton), the ancient friend of Tom’s deceased aunt, who is straight out of The Well of Loneliness and dressed like Quentin Crisp, minus the hat.” The show airs Sunday nights, and now I might just have to tune in.

One of my favorite songs is “Ghost” by Indigo Girls. Emily Saliers wrote that and she is one of the most talented songwriters ever. I’m continuously blown away by her. She writes these beautiful love songs but seems like she’s inspired by anything. I’d love to use an example of “Oh, here’s a song by Emily that’s not a love song,” but this one’s my favorite and it happens to be a perfect one.
The comedian also said she’s been thinking of making a playlist for a girl. I hope she puts on some Taylor Dane.

Alyson Hannigan talked about playing Willow on Buffy with HuffPost Live. I love how Joss Whedon told her “You’re going to have a friend; a special friend, and she’s just your friend.” That’s how I would always like lesbianism to be described.
