Pope Francis keeps getting nicer, Fort Hood shows its Pride, and St Louis just went gay all of a sudden, as your AggreGAYtor shouts "Puto!" at hir kitty cat.

The Good

St. Louis is hosting weddings at City Hall.

Pope Francis says something nice again (without really changing much about the Church’s problematic stances).

We now have four GOP senators on board for marriage equality (and apparently three Democratic senators who aren’t).

Fort Hood held its first Pride event, and it was a cockle warmer.

Colorado has a renegade clerk who’s  just marrying people like mad.

IMDB wants to know what the proudest queer movie is, and someone needs to take Blue Is the Warmest Color out of the lead.

The Bad

Michael Stipe waited five years before his first HIV test because of the repressive culture under Reagan-Bush, and a similar situation exists in modern Uganda.

The Fugly

Hey, hooker! Here’s a nuanced look at Mexico’s “puto” problem.
