Boy George kicks off a sports culture club, Tennessee made us lose our rest, and everybody knows about Florida, as your AggreGAYtor sings "Mississippi Goddam."
The Good
The Gay Games have opened in Cleveland with a massive circuit party featuring Boy George.
James Franco and Zachary Quinto are filming a movie about quack “ex-gay” therapy.
LGBTQ Nepalis are starting to demand marriage rights.
The Bad
A Tennessee court is the first to uphold a state’s marriage ban (which might be what it takes to pull SCOTUS’ trigger, which could be a good thing).
The Facts
Queer Americans are far less likely to be religious than straights. Can’t imagine why.
The Fugly
The pro-discrimination petition gatherers who tried to bring a repeal effort to Houston ballots knew full well that shenanigans would spoil their efforts.
A Tampa church has canceled a funeral because the deceased was gay.
It Came from the Tubes
