Porn star (link NSFW) who won Mr. Gay Argentina draws attention to legitimacy of Mr. Gay competition: “In the United States, gay porn is often looked upon as representing the gay community in a negative light, but other countries like Argentina have less hang ups about allowing their community to be represented by someone who has participated in the industry. For most naysayers, the problem isn't so much that a porn star will be representing a country at the competition as it is about the validity of the competition itself…The organizers say they are “looking for all types of guys, from gym-bunny to math geek with a passion to lead,” but the math geeks seem to have taken a much further back seat to the gym bunnies… like perhaps on a different bus.”
GLAAD President Neil Giuliano on the proliferation of same-sex commitment announcements: “Today, every state in the union and Washington, D.C., has at least one paper with an inclusive policy for their weddings and celebrations pages — for a combined national circulation of over 37 million in nearly 900 outlets, reaching almost 75 percent of total newspaper readers.”

Drag queen host no longer welcome at Seattle's gay bingo. Thom Hubert: “As a drag queen, if I stuck to this stuff by the letter, why, I'd have to wear a black robe and stand behind a podium and just read the numbers out.

NYU's plans for a campus in the United Arab Emirates angers LGBT students: “Now, a month after administrators announced plans for the university's first full-fledged satellite campus, some students have raised questions about the partnership, saying it is at odds with NYU's support for rights for lesbian gay, bisexual and transgender students. NYU has a reputation for being one of the U.S.'s most gay-friendly schools; the Princeton Review has ranked it ‘Most Accepting of the Gay Community' two years in a row. At a town hall meeting last week, two students sharply questioned NYU president John Sexton about the plan and voiced their concerns about LGBT students at NYU Abu Dhabi. U.A.E. federal law does not outlaw homosexuality outright, but it does define ‘acts of homosexuality' as illegal, said Simon Pearce, the director of strategic communications for Abu Dhabi's Executive Affairs Authority.”
