The culture war rages, the Supreme Court guages, and Austin's Stonewall rally engages, as your AggreGAYtor does something that rhymes with "orange."

The Good

  • Austin remembers the Stonewall Riots, the most visible starting point of the LGBTQ civil rights movement, at the State Capitol.

  • The Supreme Court is bound to rule any minute now, and it’ll probably be good news for at least some of us.

  • The currently serving secretary of the U.S. Air Force is the gay.

  • Brazilian queers fight back in the thousands against the new “cura gay” law.

The Bad

The Fugly

It Came from the Tubes

Tell your coastal liberal friends not to write off Texas just because the culture warriors hold power here. Because if they do, they could be next.
