Mickey Rapkin of Details Magazine joins us for this Six Pack Short. (We’re working on coverboy Armie Hammer, don’t you worry.) With gay marriage spreading across the US and the march to equality in full swing, there are new issues popping up for gay couples. Like gay divorce. What if you get married in a state where it is legal and then move to a state where it isn’t? Can you get divorced if your marriage was never recognized in the first place? Why are gay divorces often more heated than straight ones? And how should a sugar daddy protect himself from a money-grubbing boytoy? These questions and more answered here! (As to whether you want to get married in the first place, well, we’ll leave that up to you.)
The Real L Word’s Whitney Mixter, the lesbian-of-all-lesbians, is back for round 2 with The Six Pack. She is the breakout star from the series and one of our fave guests, so we thought it was time to find out what’s new with this chick. From her celesbian exploits to Brooklyn BBQs to “Lesbian Attack” parties, she spreads around lots girly-goodness.
Six Pack News casts a wide net of wedded bliss this week. Mayor Mike Bloomberg will officiate a gay wedding on the first day they are legal in NY; lesbians are getting married at higher rates than gay men; and straights are getting divorces at higher rates in states that have gay marriage. Gays, lesbians, straights…oh my!
Crime Time is back, and we’ve got bat-wielding lesbians, a missing cat, and a missing penis. (You can guess which one we found the most disturbing.) It’s the dog days of summer, the perfect time for a walk and The Six Pack. Download now!

Just a day after Prop 8 was overturned in California, the Six Pack spoke with Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank about the decision. Oh, and we couldn’t let him go without mentioning gay republicans, weed, gambling, and Kathy Griffin! Click above to listen to the interview.
For those of you who need to do a little current events homework, here’s your CliffsNotes version:
Frank has been in Congress for almost 30 years
He was the second openly gay member in Congress
He is widely known for his strong defense of civil liberties and legal knowledge
He is currently chairman of the the House Financial Services Committee
He had a little, um, incident with Kathy Griffin recently
Frank’s reaction to Judge Walker’s Prop 8 decision:
“I was happy it was made and I have to tell you I have felt more optimistic because obviously this won’t mean a great deal until it gets to the US Supreme Court….Here is a Republican appointed judge who says…if there’s any rational argument for this, it has to be upheld, and he said there wasn’t any.”
“What the President fears, I believe, is that politically it’s not quite safe to be for same-sex marriage. I don’t believe he has any real opposition to it; I think it has been the view, for some time, [that if] you could get elected president, you couldn’t carry states like Missouri and Indiana, and some other very conservative states if you were for same-sex marriage.”
