Whose anti-gay family study gets more discredited every day? Credit: Mark Regnerus

Americans’ opinions of each other lag behind their opinions on marriage, Regnerus gets a smackdown, and trans protections prove insufficient, as your AggreGAYtor rattles the keyboard during a meeting.

The Good

Americans think Americans don’t support marriage equality, but they’re wrong.

The UT Department of Sociology refutes Regnerus’ bogus study.

It’s possible to be queer and Muslim.

The Bad

The Fugly
