AGLIFF rolls film, the Castro gets historic, and Russia gets a little sneaky, as your AggreGAYtor checks out freshman orientation.
The Good
AGLIFF is set to open with a documentary on Matthew Shepard, with special guest Judy Shepard.
Massachusetts may soon have the nation’s first LGBTQ attorney general.
The Castro has installed 20 LGBTQ history plaques in its sidewalks.
The most successful businessperson in the USA is a trans woman.
Puberty suppression improves the well-being of trans youth.
Here’s a handy dating guide for trans men.
The Bad
With marriage rights out of politicians’ hands and being determined in the courts, maybe we should shift some of those resources to combating LGBTQ homelessness.
Mount Holyoke’s acceptance of trans students is a big shift, but a lot of colleges still discriminate by determination at birth.
The Fugly
An anti-LGBTQ Russian conference may have ties to American anti-gay Evangelicals.
