In the song, Gaga details her level of intoxication: She’s lost her keys, she’s lost her phone, she can’t see straight, she’s forgotten the name of the club she’s in, and she can’t figure out why her shirt is turned inside out.

(SFist) The Board of Supervisors voted 9 to 1 yesterday to approve the $157,500 loan to the LGBT Center to address their aforementioned mortgage renegotiation issue . Supervisor Sean Elsbernd was the sole dissenting vote, but Carmen Chu also expressed her concerns during the meeting. “I think the message that we need to say today is, we want this organization to succeed, but we also want to make sure that this organization is self-sufficient,” Chu said.
(Lambda Legal) “One year of equality in Iowa has made same-sex couples and their children happier and more secure; made gay people everywhere prouder and safer; and reinforced the State of Iowa’s leadership in protecting the rights of its citizens. That’s a big win for everybody.”
