Coke gets an uproar, the queer kids are not alright, and Utah could blow at any moment, as your AggreGAYtor expresses sympathy for the devil.

The Good

Wisconsin is now on the list of states whose marriage bans stand to be litigated out of existence.

43 LGBTQ activists have laid their freedom on the line to stop workplace discrimination in Idaho.

In a media coup, Coke’s Superbowl ad has racists so incensed that homophobes haven’t noticed the interracial gay family, liberals have forgotten that Coke is a major Sochi sponsor, and nobody’s talking about garbage poison sugar water.

Disney has figured out that flaming tapwater is not family-friendly.

Japan's LGBTQ citizens tend to fly under the radar, but its political representatives are pushing for change.

The Bad

Move over velvet rage, gay/bi teen boys might have a case of the roid rage, too.

He questioned homosexuality. We question his competency as a therapist.

This GAYtor’s favorite representative, Bernie Sanders, and possibly least favorite, Michelle Bachmann, sit down for a pleasant discussion. Chaos reigns.
