Often called the "gay community's Rosa Parks," Storme DeLarverie.

Columbia favors marriage rights, Storme DeLarverie passes at 93, and NOM just keeps trying (and failing) as your AggreGAYtor gets what zhe wants.

The Good

Public support for LGBTQ civil rights continues to climb.

This is why gay men should appreciate all women.

Rest in peace, Stonewall Riot participant and fierce activist Storme DeLarverie.

The President of Columbia has (sort of) endorsed same-sex marriage.

The Bad

Even Laverne Cox has struggled with suicidal thoughts, a problem that disproportionally affects trans folk by orders of magnitude.

It’s not just trans schoolchildren who get bullied into using the wrong bathrooms; it even happens at McDonald’s.

The Fugly

NOM is still trying to block marriage in Oregon, even though the organization has no standing in the case.
