The AggreGAYtor: July 19

English weddings are so gay, conservatives stand in progress' way, and a grandma drummer makes our day as your AggreGAYtor shuttles the thread.

The Good

• George Clayton (R-Dallas) announces his big gay campaign for Texas Congress; probably hasn’t read the Texas Republican Party Platform.

• Weeks after France legalized it, England has caught up on the marriage tip, with considerably less rioting.

• We’re here, we’re queer, and we should all get comfortable using the word.

The Bad

• David Villareal was found dead in his condo at the 360 a few days ago, allegedly murdered after going home with this man.

• Texas is no longer among the states under federal suit against their unconstitutional constitutional marriage bans, because our circuit court is too conservative.

• The only way ENDA will pass is by a magical unicorn discharge petition. So it won’t pass until Republicans change or disappear, and Americans pay more attention to real issues than to the Royal Family.

• Texas’ new abortion restrictions will have far-reaching consequences in women’s lives.

The Fugly

• If Antonin Scalia had it his way, segregation would still be enforced.

• Conservative Christians are revolting at the idea that a camp for trans kids won’t admit the gender police.

• Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association thinks homosex is a heinous crime.
