The
“g”
in
HGTV
doesn’t
stand
for
“gay,”
but
it
might
as
well.
One
of
the
best
things
about
this
cable
network
is
how
seamlessly
it
integrates
gay
people
into
its
many
home
and
garden
shows.
In
one
of
our
favorite
examples,
the
network
re-aired
Feb.
11
an
episode
of
“House
Hunters”
featuring
Georgia
lesbian
couple
Sally
and
Leah.
With
a
toddler
daughter
and
a
new
baby
on
the
way,
they
wanted
to
move
from
Snellville
to
Roswell
to
cut
down
on
commutes.
“House
Hunters”
presented
the
pair
like
any
other
family,
and
didn’t
shy
away
from
scenes
that
made
clear
they
were
a
couple,
from
griping
about
their
shared
closet
space
to
sitting
with
their
arms
around
each
other.
So
viewers
around
America
got
a
lesson
in
gay
family
values
along
with
learning
the
values
of
homes
in
the
Atlanta
suburbs.

Karl

Former
Bush
adviser
Karl
Rove
was
grilled
on
everything
from
the
Iraq
War
to
gay
marriage
when
he
spoke
Feb.
11
to
students
at
Choate
Rosemary
Hall.
Rove
had
originally
been
invited
to
address
the
Connecticut
prep
school’s
June
graduation,
but
was
rescheduled
after
student
protests.
Challenged
by
senior
Marla
Spivak
to
explain
how
gay
marriages
threaten
other
families,
Rove
brought
up
every
old
argument
from
polygamy
to
judicial
activism,
the
Hartford
Courant
reported.
Somehow,
he
failed
to
mention
that
opposing
gay
marriage
helped
elect
his
old
boss
by
fanning
the
flames
of
homophobia.
Rove
is
an
old
foe
of
gay
rights,
but
you’d
think
he
could
have
come
up
with
some
new
arguments
by
now.
