Remember that 24-hour sleepover CODEPINK is staging outside of the White House this weekend? I forgot to mention the most important part:

Boobs.

Co-sponsored by CODEPINK and Breasts not Bombs, the event will now include a call-to-breasts. Breasts not Bombs is inspired by a Mendocino, Cali. woman who, while “celebrating 4^th of July at a local park, removed her shirt to dance in the warm summer sun.” This weekend, women will descend upon D.C. to bare their breasts in order to “reclaim the definition of Indecency and stand for mothers and children all over the world whose daily lives are ruined by continued warmongering and profiteering.”

Presser is after the jump.

The AP reports that President Obama has invited more than 100 gay and lesbian families to attend the White House Easter Egg Roll. The majority of tickets are offered online to the public (and sell out within seconds), but the President reserves a number for special guests. From the AP:

Notoriously anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church came to town on Monday to protest homosexual sin, George Mason University’s gay male homecoming queen, and “the Anti-Christ” (President Obama). When the protest moved on from GMU and Embassy Row to land in front of the White House, Westboro members were met by dozens of George Washington Univeristy students who had come to protest the protest with a punishment reserved for only the most insufferable of bigots: College girls kissing each other.

The counter-protest was organized by Colin MacDonald and Ian Goldin, GW students who were joined by “between 80 and 100 people” in raising signs, chants, and face-locks against the church. At the height of the action, Freshmen Paige Medley and Lauren LaMonte kissed “to show their support for gay rights.” It looks like there might have been some tongue, but it’s too close to call.

For those also interested in, ahem, showing their solidarity, check out Hatchet photographer Marie McGrory’s shot of the kiss here.

America’s Most Wanted wants to know. Renee Rosenfeld, a producer of the show, wrote in to the D.C. Police 1st District Listserv yesterday, asking for information about “the beating [of] 2 guys waving a Rainbow flag near the White House on Tuesday night.” Rosenfeld wrote that “ABC videotaped” the incident but that they “are trying to ID the victims before they release the story.” Rosenfeld asks anyone with information in the incident to contact her. Do the right thing, D.C. Contact me first!
