East Lansing, Michigan celebrates 40th anniversary of nation's oldest LGBT non-discrimination law: “Outside of East Lansing and the 17 cities that have passed similar ordinances in Michigan, it’s still legal in our state to fire someone for being gay,” Triplett told The American Independent. “That’s entirely unacceptable.

New Yorker's Dahlia Lithwick on Lawrence v. Texas: "Does it matter that, in Justice Kennedy’s stirring meditation on privacy and dignity and the 'manifold possibilities' of liberty, the truth of the non-relationship between the non-lovers John Lawrence and Tyron Garner was lost? Does it matter that our collective memory locks the two men together in a mythic embrace?

But it’s rare that they disappear altogether, the way Lawrence and Garner did."
Barbara Bush: "I think [the 2012 presidential campaign] been the worst campaign I've ever seen in my life. I hate that people think compromise is a dirty word. It's not a dirty word. … I think the rest of the world is looking at us these days and saying, 'What are you doing?'"
Idaho House to consider LGBT anti-discrimination bill: "Like the doomed measure in the Senate, the proposed legislation would add the words 'sexual orientation' and 'gender identity' to the state’s Human Rights Act.
