On this week's episode of the Defining Marriage podcast: What if the National Organization for Marriage held a march and nobody noticed? That's what happened this weekend, with poor NOM spending tens of thousands of dollars for a rally that attracted only a few dozen people. Ah well. You know whose fault that must be: Satan's! At least, that's according to anti-gay lawyer Matt Staver, who calls marriage equality "a lie from the pit of hell." Okay buddy. In other news this week: Donald Trump revealed his wildly anti-gay advisory board (ugh) and I am unable to remember the name of the star of The Devil Wears Prada. The Great Deceiver strikes again!

Gay marriage is coming to the game Harvest Moon -- eventually, probably -- but is this maybe opening the door to some problematic implementations? James, who knows a thing or two about designing a video game, offers his analysis, and also offers a truly appalling Australian accent. We also summon the spirits of the 90s with Sound Garden, not to be confused with Savage Garden and the Spoonman.

Oh, what now? Roy Moore says he needs a little more time to respond to ethics questions, as if two extra weeks is going to make some kind of difference. In the mean time, real judges like Callie Granade will be issuing rulings like "uh, no, gay marriage is definitely a thing."

Meanwhile in Australia, we do not have anything to say about plebiscites this week! Instead, we'll talk about Queer Beer. (No word on whether it makes you gay, but let's assume.) Also there's a happy ending to a marriage that the government finally stopped claiming isn't real, 45 years later.

Oops, we missed a week! As you NO DOUBT noticed, last week's episode does not exist, in part due to our travels to Chicago. But we're back now from the debauchery of IML, and we're hot on the trail of the latest in gay marriage news. My favorite headline this week is that there's a group trying to get some buzz around Roy Moore for the Supreme Court... and what a coincidence, that group just happens to have been founded by Roy Moore. (But he's not the president! His wife is.) Also this week we reflect on one of the strangest episodes of Murder She Wrote ever committed to film, featuring Gabe Kaplan and a drag show and a gay bar and (in our minds) a disgusting sex act with a fish.
