Daniel Pearce wins out, Southern Decadence blows out, and Texas conservatives tear out, as your AggreGAYtor capitulates to tyranny.
The Good
Hillary Clinton supporters acknowledge a link between feminism and LGBTQ rights.
Daniel Pearce, victim of a horrible anti-gay family “intervention,” has raised nearly $100,000.
A New York husband and wife team are premiering an opera about a trans woman.
The Bad
One in five Angelino foster kids are LGBTQ.
Being a lesbian is hazardous to one's health, wealth, and hapiness, thanks to the kyriarchy.
We should be standing with Michael Brown, Emmett Till, and Matthew Shepard.
We’re still losing our gayborhoods to gentrification, rainbow flags or no.
No, Michael Sam was not cut from the Rams because of his shower habits.
The Fugly
Conservatives are hoping to prop up Texas’ marriage ban (details are behind a paywall).
Letting gays marry is apparently “capitulating to tyranny.”
It Came from the Tubes
This story probably does not comport with most of our memories of Decadence:
