Nicole (l) and Jonas Maines

• Today’s cure for cheeriness: British report exposes the U.S. Military’s rampant rape problem.

• SOPA: An infographic.

• Powerful article about a young transgendered girl who has an identical twin brother. ^{[both pictured]}

• Toronto Zoo’s “gay penguins” now pursuing females after being separated. Anti-gay activists calling them proof that homosexuality is a curable choice (?) in 3 … 2 …

• I didn’t think atheists could lose in court and still hit this much of a nerve.
