* In case you’ve been hiding in a homophobe haven, New York legalized gay marriage. Maybe the actress behind one of my favorite fictional lawyers can finally get married. [New York Times]

* Apparently foreigners who are in the habit of handling money are also in the habit of allegedly handling hotel maids. Walking like an Egyptian might cost this banker $5M. [New York Daily News]

* In this country, we deserve freedom of choice for light bulbs, but not for abortions. That makes sense. Sometimes, I have absolutely no idea why I like the Republican party. [Daily Mail]

* Florida schools are worried about minority enrollment. Why worry when diversity doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of rankings? Isn’t that what law schools care about the most? [Orlando Sentinel]

* Lady Gaga is facing class action RICO charges from an 800-number law firm. Not sure which is more upsetting: that such a firm exists, or that she’s being called “Shady Gaga.” [FOX Detroit]

* The best way to ignore a problem is to drown it out. Memo for all prisoners out there: you may not have the right to heat in the winter, but you do have the right to freeze your ass off. [Morning Call]

* In the melting pot that is America, you can still be fired for looking un-American in trendy tween stores. I guess Hollister isn’t familiar with the très chic Muslim surfer look. [Daily Mail]
