President Obama signed an executive order ending domestic spying and mass deportations, lowering the MediCare age to zero, shutting down the drug war, ending military engagements overseas, and even closing Guantanimo! He also somehow sailed the ERA through Congress and cancelled the Trans Pacific Partnership and Keystone Pipeline! April Fool's.
The Good
Pope Francis is in favor of civil unions.
The new Trans 100 list should be out any minute.
Former Miss Kentucky is ready to talk about coming out and life in Louisville.
The Bad
The discredited study by UT’s Mark Regnerus keeps showing up to cause harm.
Inviting people to come watch an anti-gay murder is a sign of serious problems.
Ukraine is likely to have some LGBT problems for a while.
Louisiana just killed a housing non-discrimination bill.
The Fugly
Dallas Pride is just asking to get Queerbombed. Thankfully it’s happening.
