10. New Film 'Owning Our Faith' Shares the Stories and Struggles of LGBT Catholics

8. 'You're Cute for a Black Guy' Looks at Race and Racism in Gay Dating

In You're Cute For a Black Guy, a new documentary short that debuted at this year's Outfest Fusion, filmmaker Cameron Johnson examines the role of race and racism in the world of gay dating from the vantage point of gay black men.

Johnson opens the documentary by recounting his own experience of being told by a white love interest, "I'm really into mulatto guys." Statements like this that led Johnson to dig into the subject further and confirm that he wasn't the only gay black man hearing racist and objectifying remarks from gay white men.

7. Texas Republican Lawmaker Smacks Down Witness from Anti-gay Hate Group

A proposed bill in Texas that would allow same-sex parents to have both names on the birth certificates of adopted children found an unlikely ally in state Rep. Byron Cook, the Republican chair of the House Committee on State Affairs. Cook, who has an adopted child, smacked down a witness from the anti-LGBT hate group Texas Values at a recent hearing when the anti-LGBT activist claimed accurate birth certificates would lead to threesomes adopting.

6. This Video Makes a Powerful Case for Transgender Pronouns

“For a long time a lot of people have felt like that they don't fit into the mold of primarily he or primarily she or maybe they feel that they are a blend of both and that there’s not really a word for that,” comedian Ian Harvie explains in the video below. “Everybody else in the world out there can say ‘I am…’ and they identify themselves. Everybody believes them. But when I say ‘I am…’ I don’t know why people just don’t believe us.”

5. Andy Cohen Joins #BoycottDolceGabbana By Auctioning Off His D&G Suit to Support LGBT Families

Andy Cohen is putting a creative spin on the #BoycottDolceGabbana campaign: auctioning off his D&G suit and donating the money to the Family Equality Council supporting LGBT families.

Said Cohen:

“Even though I love this suit, it wouldn’t be fun for me to wear it again. But it will be so much fun for me to have you wear it, knowing we were able to support an amazing cause while also screwing Dolce & Gabbana out of at least one sale.”

 

4. Matt Baume's 'Downton Abbey' Inspired Dissection of Aaron Schock's Resignation and Anti-LGBT Politics

Marriage News Watch's Matt Baume took a look at Rep. Aaron Schock's resignation and why, gay or straight, the Illinois politician is part of a larger problem of anti-LGBT lawmakers perpetuating the "closet" and profiting from discriminatory policies.
