Just when we thought it couldn't get any worse.

Gay penguins spread gay propaganda, Rick Perry allegedly thinks prison rape is fantastic, and everybody knows about Mississippi as your AggreGAYtor lets Nina Simone do the cussing.

The Good

Thanks to the other thing Congress did besides the ACA, LGBTQ immigrant detainees are less likely to experience rape or sexual harrassment.

Ireland gets a pair of gay penguins; this time they’re ladies.

The Bad

That piece of good news there? No, not the one about the penguins. Rick Perry has pledged not to follow the new rape prevention guidelines.

Mississippi is poised to enact the pro-discrimination law that was too silly for even Jan Brewer to sign.

The Fugly

Universities would do better to go after actual rapists instead of trans women.
