LGBT youth included in White House plan to end homelessness. U.S. Housing & Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donavan: "What I would say is so many of those at risk of homelessness are marginalized in various ways. As we’ve seen with youth, those who age out of foster care … [and] who are ostracized and targeted because of their gender identity or sexual orientation are one of the populations that are at increased risk for homelessness. So everyone has a stake in making sure that those who are at risk of homelessness, including those targeted because of their gender identity and sexual orientation, need to be part of this effort, and they are.”

"In a key judgment issued today, the European Court of Human Rights ruled on a complaint of a homosexual couple in Austria who were denied the right to marry. Although very recently (January 2010) Austria created the possibility to enter into a Registered Partnership for same-sex couples, marriage still is not possible. The applicants in this case, Schalk and Kopf, complained both under article 12 (right to marry) and article 14 (prohibition of discrimination) in conjunction with article 8 (right to private and family life)."

New York's Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC) signs lease for new space in far westside garment district: "…not everyone is thrilled about the move.
'It's a big step down from a wonderful space that was very well-located and very prestigious,' said GMHC co-founder Dr. Larry Mass, according to New York magazine.
Critics of the move pointed to the recent departure of St. Vincent's Hospital from the area as another reason the center should not move.
Another co-founder, Larry Kramer, called the move 'ridiculous, sad, tragic and a great loss,' New York magazine said."

Canadian couple's landlord tore up their lease over fear of God's wrath: "Robertson and Anthony said they had been looking forward to moving in and had a tight time frame to move after selling their house. Anthony said it was difficult to find a suitable home on such short notice because few properties were listed and the couple has two large dogs.
Goertzen, a journeyman who made reference to attending a Baptist church, said he never considered the two men were gay when he rented them the apartment.
But when Anthony's sister told him they were a couple, Goertzen readvertised the property, three weeks before Robertson and Anthony were to move in.
Anthony saw the ad online and questioned Goertzen.
The couple said he referred to gay people as 'an abomination and one of the reasons the world is going to hell in a hand basket.'"
