Gaga goes seditious, Nixon and Putin share a special news moment, and Congress may confront queer homelessness, as your AggreGAYtor celebrates Takei Day every day.
The Good
-
A new federal bill could protect the more than 40% of homeless youth who are LGBTQ.
-
The new season of American Horror Story will continue its tradition of exploring queer stories.
-
Boycotts of Russian-made booze and foods may soon go citywide in NYC.
-
Lady Gaga calls for a revolution in Russia.
The Bad
-
Even with DADT gone, trans soldiers still face official discrimination in the military.
-
Gay-bashing in Russia knows no socio-economic boundaries.
-
Texas’ anti-sodomy law, overturned a decade ago in Lawrence v. Texas, is still on the books, and, as in Louisiana, could still be enforced.
The Fugly
-
Texas Republicans may be many things, but post-racialist isn't one of them.
-
Richard Nixon really, really didn’t like us. Something about sapping and impurifying his vital essence. And children’s ice cream.
