A look back at today's top stories
GAY ISSUES
Tragic news out of Michigan where a gay teen has committed suicide and it seems anti-gay bullying is to blame. So very sad.

Someone invited Donald Trump to a gay wedding and he thought it was "beautiful". What's more surprising is that he revealed this during a lunch with George Takei. Also Desmond Tutu is calling on Uganda to drop the so-called "Kill the Gays" bill.

One Life to Live Actor Scott Evans, who is the younger and gayer brother of Chris Evans, was arrested last night after trying to purchase drugs from an undercover cop. Oops!

ENTERTAINMENT
I am very tempted to put this under "wingnuttery" but, John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John released a video for their song "I Think You Might Like It" and sat down with Ellen to discuss it.
