The AggreGAYtor: August 6

, August 6, 2013, 3:45pm, Qmmunity

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.
