The X-Men have a revelation, Reba McEntire shows some love, and some San Antonians get pissed, as your AggreGAYtor rips hir shred.

The Good

The Iceman cometh… out of the closet.

Reba McEntire is awesome.

Author Zach Wahls is awesome too.

Marco Rubio acknowledges sexual orientation as innate (but still doesn’t support marriage).

Spanish-language media may soon start actually covering trans issues.

The Bad

Until marriage equality happens, millions of families are vulnerable to paperwork disasters.

Ashley Diamond will remain housed in an all-male facility, for now.

Trans progress is kind of all over the place at the moment.

San Antonio mayor Ivy Taylor is in hot water over her apparent foot-dragging.

The Fugly

Apparently gay marriage could somehow cause nearly a million abortions.
