Prince Harry and HIV Awareness Campaign
Prince Harry always seems to be doing something worthy, and this is one of his best so far.
Prince Harry has met with gay men and other minorities living with HIV for an awareness campaign.
The 32-year-old royal is carrying on with his mother’s work after spending time with London sexual health charity Naz, a group made of sexual and racial minorities aiming to help people ‘live life to the fullest’.

Antigay Evangelicals Freaking Out Over Gay Marriage
I've read a lot of the posts, tweets, status updates, and comments about what's happening in politics and I've taken them all in with a lot of consideration. A lot of people are worried. Some are scared. And I don't think anyone under the umbrella of LGBTI knows what to really expect.

Are Gay Marriage and Abortion the Same Issue
I've seen gay marriage compared to abortion a lot this week and it made me wonder. So I went searching on the Internet and didn't find much about it. Frankly, it never even occurred to me to compare my own marriage to abortion. Even though both issues are decided by the courts, I've always thought of them as completely separate issues that need to be addressed individually. In the most basic sense, marriage is about love and abortion is about...

LGBT Young People and Suicide; Gay Marine Who Saved the President's Life; Openly Gay Richard Grenell On Trump's List For UN Ambassador
LGBT Young People and Suicide
This is disturbing, but at least we're talking about it and getting it out in the open, which I think helps a lot.
A report released earlier this year reveals 1 in 3 LGBTI 14-18 year olds in Ireland have attempted to take their own lives.
The report indicates this is due to ‘bullying, rejection and pressures to hide who they really are.’
One anonymous respondent of the nation-wide survey said: ‘I was having nervous thoughts about whether I was going to come out...

Male Full Frontal Nudity Brandon Meyers; Orlando Before and After the Massacre; The Creepy Megyn Kelly Memoir
Male Full Frontal Nudity Brandon Meyers
This is the kind of male full frontal that's not particularly artistic. There's nothing wrong with that. I just like to make that distinction sometimes. They actually are pretty good photos if you're not looking for anything with a deeper meaning.
One thing we’ve learned about former Ex on the Beach contestant Brandon Myers: He has no difficulty posing for the camera.
If anything, he has a great deal of difficulty not sharing himself.

They Wanted John Barrowman To Remain In the Closet
Here's a story about how "they" wanted John Barrowman to keep his private life quiet that dates back about two decades. He ultimately lost a role because he refused to do it.
While accepting the Human Rights Campaign Visibility Award last weekend during Palm Springs Pride, Barrowman recalled producers sitting him down in a room one day and saying: ‘We don’t want you to talk about your life.’
‘I’m not going to mention any names but you would all...

Aaron Schock Indicted; Colby Keller Booted From "Capitol Hill"; NOM's New Antigay Plan
Aaron Schock Indicted
I don't know why I find this story so interesting, but I've been following it for a while, and this just transpired.
The Illinois congressman who resigned amid scrutiny of lavish spending – including remodeling his Capitol Hill office in the style of the television series “Downton Abbey” - was indicted Thursday on 24 federal counts, including wire fraud and theft of funds.
The 52-page indictment charges Aaron Schock with nine counts of wire fraud, five of falsification of...

New Gay Sitcom; Calum McSwiggan Sentenced For False Report; John Barrowman's Husband's Big Penis
New Gay Sitcom
I think a few of the new Netflix shows have proven that the sitcom isn't totally dead. And Vicious on PBS was wonderful. I do, however, think it's a long shot...because so many younger people aren't even bothering to watch TV anymore.
In any event, this could be interesting.
We could all use a little good news right now, and this is pretty damn good news: Amy Poehler is going to be producing a new show about a gay couple who have fallen in love despite coming from two very di...

A Few Thoughts On the 2016 Election and the Future For LGBT People
A Few Thoughts On the 2016 Election and the Future For LGBT People As most people who've read this blog know, I've never been too political about anything in a general sense. I will get into issues like marriage equality because I believe in them. I believe in equality for everyone. In a general sense, however, I don't preach politics to anyone because I don't think I'm qualified to do that. I also respect all opinions, not just my own. And from what I've seen this week on social media from a...

Mayor Buddy Dyer has said the city has reached a deal to buy the gay nightclub for $2.25 million (2 million), around $600,000 more than its appraised value.
On 12 June, 49 people were killed and 53 people were injured.
