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.

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.

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.
