Austin gets a little too friendly, NOM gets called out, and Billy Graham spins in his grave, as your AggreGAYtor hears you calling.
The Good
Austin ranks in the top ten LGBTQ-friendly cities in the nation.
Houston has approved new discrimination protections, despite recall threats.
Central Texas now has a soon-to-be-statewide support network for queer students.
Erasure is coming to ACL Live, and every gay man for 90 miles will be there.
Orrin Hatch acknowledges that marriage equality is a foregone conclusion, and Charlie Dent comes out in support.
NOM gets a slap on the hand for its shady business practices.
The Bad
American LGBTQ Catholic schoolteachers are still being fired, with no word from leadership or Pope Francis.
The Fugly
On second thought, let’s not patronize Big Earl’s Restaurant in Pittsburg, Texas.
Bryan Fischer gives Franklin Graham mad props for being a dick.
