Gay stoners roll forward, Facebook shows Sister Roma the door, and Sarah Palin notpologizes, as your AggreGAYtor takes selfies while vacuuming the bathtub.
The Good
A lot of progressive issues continue to languish, but weed and marriage are making big strides.
Big Gay Ice Cream is awesome, and don’t you forget it.
Ever had trouble finding a literary journal for queer poets of color? Look no further.
The Bad
Facebook is kicking out drag queens and trans folk whose names don’t match their credit cards, ‘cause money.
Indiana marriages are on hold until the Supremes weigh in.
Arkansas’ attorney general is pushing to keep the state’s marriage ban.
The Fugly
Two radio hosts fired for calling trans folk “nut jobs” are back to do it again.
A Kazakhstan politician is advocating a blood test for gayness, as well as criminalization.
Yes, Sarah Palin owes us all an apology, but not for this.
