Fox News grows a pair, Texas rocks out, and Paula Deen steps in it again, as your AggreGAYtor considers the lavender menace of the field.
The Good
A Fox News host shows some integrity and apologizes gracefully for transphobic remarks.
Arizonans and Texans are partying down in the wake of a couple of big judicial victories, but it’s complicated.
Boston has come around and let the gays into St. Patrick’s Day.
The military is totes gaying it up with marriages and even drag shows.
Maryland may soon pass a transgender anti-discrimination bill.
Idaho just had to arrest the same baker’s dozen of activists again this week.
Hopefully Hong Kong will soon get out of trans people’s pants.
The Bad
No! No! No! Slut shaming costs lives, even for gay men.
Greg Abbott wasted no time filing an appeal to preserve Texas’ marriage ban.
The Fugly
Racism is wrong. Give me liberty or nobody gets cake.
Paula Deen needs to take a break and get her mind right.
