ENDA gets a long-awaited debate, Moscow gets a terrifying hate crime, and Wendy Davis does gay Dallas, as your AggreGAYtor looks on the works of the U.S. House of Representatives and despairs.
The Good
ENDA makes progress in the Senate, faces a fight that is likely to get ugly, with House Republicans vowing to bury the bill.
State Senatory Wendy Davis showed up to the Dallas LGBT Black Tie Dinner fundraiser; she’s welcome at all of our dinners. Just saying.
Gender and sexuality are complex sets of traits that shouldn’t be up for qualitative judgment, according to a new book by a bi trans biologist.
Portia de Rossi says coming out actually makes it get better.
The Bad
A Moscow HIV/AIDS organization has been attacked; police refuse to investigate.
The Fugly
Guess which Texas senators voted to kill ENDA (hint: both).
