What happened today in gay? Here’s your QILTBAG recap of queer news.
By David Estlund, 9:30AM, Fri. Jun. 20, 2014
A queer doc came to screens before we knew it, Sia is about to pwn America, and Gay of Thrones goes full Inception, as your AggreGAYtor chooses between "As You Wish" and "Fire and Blood" embroidered hand towels.
The Good
Local filmmaker PJ Raval’s alternately heartwarming/breaking Before You Know It opens in Austin Friday, and here’s another 10 queer documentaries for the bucket list..
Sia’s going to swing from the Chandelier with the NYC Gay Men’s Chorus.
Homeless centers have new broadly-approved guidelines for the treatment of homeless LGBTQ youth.
The Bad
This suit in New York shows that trans-inclusive medical care (even that provided with federal money) has a long way to go, and this piece lights the path.
Without the Federal ENDA protections most Americans falsely believe LGBTQ workers already have, most states, like Florida, are hodgepodges of local opinions.
D.C. is experiencing a string of trans-targeted robberies.
The Fugly
The only thing that seems to be stemming from the newly-elucidated anti-trans stance of the Southern Baptist Church is heartbreak.
It Came from the Tubes
Where are my dragons embed codes? Whatever, go watch this week’s Gay of Thrones.
