, June 4, 2013, 11:40am, Qmmunity

Scouts, Mormons, queens, and meanwhile, more good news on military trans* acceptance and a changing Republican field. Your new AggreGAYtor is reporting for duty.

The Good

• A Texas boy returns on a tour of the queer South.

• Kristen Beck joins the roster of out transgender veterans in her new book.

• In the face of recent hate crimes, New Yorkers are learning to bash back, or at least to defend themselves.

• Boy Scouts, Mormons, and gay Mormon scouts show their colors at Utah Pride,  against orders.

• Queer issues have economic, social justice, and even ecological underpinnings.

• Guys, gay marriage is a tough issue for fair-minded Republicans who have a live-and-let-live attitude, and Bloomberg is on it.

The Bad

• The HIV epidemic isn’t over. But this open letter is actually good news.

• The “gay dollar” is a myth; queer folk are more likely to live in poverty. This is news?

• Also, LGBT seniors face more challenges than their cis/hetero counterparts.

The Fugly

• Queen Elizabeth will break the monarchy if she allows gay marriage, says someone who is not Queen Elizabeth.

It Came from the Tubes

• Get caught up on your Gay of Thrones, gurl. Spoilers!
