9. Ted Cruz's Father Suggests He'll Die Fighting Gay Marriage, Which Will ‘Destroy America' 

Just when you thought Ted Cruz's insane, birther father couldn't get any nuttier.

“We are going to have to stand firm on the agenda to destroy America,” said Cruz while touting his son's newly introduced bills to stop marriage equality. “I lost my freedom once, I'm not willing to lose it again. I will die fighting before I lose it again and so should you.”

8. Crowd Cheers Gay Kiss Cam Moment at Dodger Stadium

It used to be that kiss cam operators would train their cameras on two presumably heterosexual men to try and get an ‘icky' laugh out of stadium crowds. No such reaction occurred when married couple Steven and Rick Simone-Friedland locked lips at a Dodgers game this week. A pretty sweet reminder of how far we've come in terms of visibility.

7. Ellen Tags Along with Gay Teen and His Straight Best Friend to See How Their Prom Date Went 

Last month we reported on Anthony Martinez, the gay student at Desert Oasis High School, who tweeted that he really wanted a guy as his date to prom. Jacob Lescenski, his straight best friend, stepped in with a “promposal” that might be the sweetest display of true friendship ever.

Shortly after their story went viral, Ellen invited the two best friends on her show to let more of the world know their story and to reward the couple with two $10,000 checks for making a difference. She also had her camera crew join the boys to see how their special night went down.

6. Elton John Captivates Senate Panel with Testimony on HIV/AIDS

Elton John testified before Congress on AIDS this week for the first time in 12 years, delivering a message to the Senate Appropriations Committee, marking the progress made in more than a decade of fighting HIV/AIDS, and urging the panel to continue funding programs which are helping eradicate it.

Said Elton: “This Congress indeed has the power to end AIDS…There is a window of opportunity before us — a window through which we can very clearly see the end of AIDS — within my lifetime. We cannot afford to let that window close.”

5. ‘Daily Show' Correspondent Jessica Williams Trolls the Anti-gay Haters Outside SCOTUS

Daily Show correspondent Jessica Williams headed to the U.S. Supreme Court marriage arguments last week to interview the anti-gay picketers on the sidewalk and have them sign her ‘Wrong Side of History' yearbook.

“With the Supreme Court likely ruling in favor of same-sex marriage, chances are this would be the last hurrah for the Hate Class of 2015, Before they moved on to the real world. I wanted to commemorate them.”

4. Megyn Kelly Interviews Newly-Out Fox News Homo-Con Guy Benson

After coming out as gay in what he called a “footnote” in his new book, conservative commentator Guy Benson stopped by Megyn Kelly's show on Fox News to discuss his coming out and discuss the Left's “outrage industry” that he details in his book.

Benson also had this to say:

I recognize that I am so fortunate to live in a country and an era where we can be having this exact kind conversation on national television. And I recognize that a lot of that is due to the fact that I'm standing of the shoulders of people who've worked very hard for a very long time, who probably don't share my political persuasion. So I just want to give them some credit in this.

2. Belle Goes to ‘WeHo' in Todrick Hall's New Brilliant ‘Beauty and the Beast' Musical Parody

Set around West Hollywood's gay downtown and its numerous businesses, Todrick Hall's parody of “Belle” from Beauty and the Beast stars YouTube personality Colleen Ballinger wandering the Santa Monica strip as the Disney princess in search of aspirations beyond her “little town.”

RuPaul, Daniel Franzese, Ross Mathews, Lance Bass, Frankie Grande, and many others including Hall himself take the parts of the townspeople in Beauty and the Beat Boots, one of Hall's best parodies yet.

1. Gay Acrobat Proposes to His Boyfriend in Groundbreaking Moment Live on Italian TV

In a moment never before seen on Italian TV, a gay couple got engaged.

The proposal took place on Italia's Got Talent, after Les Farfadais, a troupe of acrobatic dancers, performed a routine to “The Power of Love”. One of the dancers then got down on one knee, and after his boyfriend said “yes” the couple kissed on stage.

The judges were as stunned as the audience, who cheered for the couple. Said the show's host: “I swear that this marriage proposal was not in the lineup.”
