Two grooms in Macy's ad spark controversy →

gaywrites:

Look at these images closely. If you really scrutinize the one on the left, you’ll see the cake topper of two grooms that’s magnified on the right. Not too visible, right?

Apparently the grooms are enough to get a small conservative group outraged with Macy’s, who sent this ad to homes last week to encourage people to join Macy’s gift registry. 

An antigay group called One Million Moms, somehow related to the American Family Association, attacked Macy’s for “inappropriate marketing” and “offending conservative customers.” Well, well, well. A good portion of their statement can be found at the link above. 

Macy’s is a known supporter of LGBT causes, both through its generally pro-equality advertising and its consistently high ratings with HRC. If this group thinks it can take a corporate giant down for one ad, it’s sadly mistaken. Tough luck.

Human Rights Campaign: Protect All Families in New Mexico →

Protect All Families in New Mexico - We need you to act right now and send a message to your elected officials urging them to oppose House Joint Resolution 22, a measure which would ban marriage equality and prevent same-sex marriages performed in other states from being recognized in New Mexico. Please send a message to your Representative, Senator and the bill’s sponsor, Rep. David Chavez, urging them to defeat House Joint Resolution 22. Your message will be most effective if you can share a bit about who you are and why you oppose this bill.

Anonymous asked: Can you tell me coffee companies that do not support the gay marriage laws?


Answer:

Starbucks recently lent its support to the legalization of same-sex marriage in Washington. Beyond that, not certain what coffee companies have supported equality. Any followers know for sure?

Fearless a photography series by artist Jeff Sheng

In 2003, I began a photography project called “Fearless,” documenting high school and collegiate athletes who openly self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender and are “out” to their predominantly straight teammates and coaches.  Since then, I’ve photographed over 100 athletes across the United States and Canada for this series.

"No I’m not gay,
No I’m not straight,
And I’m sure as hell not bisexual, damnit.
I am whoever I am when I am it,
Loving whoever you are when the stars shine
And whoever you’ll be when the sun rises."
Andrea Gibson, Andrew
