The military doesn’t want gay men or lesbians serving in the armed forces but they are actively recruiting convicted felons. Rape, manslaughter, arson, kidnapping on your record? No problem. Just don’t be queer. The number of reports of physical violence and abuse by soldiers returning from duty is alarming.

On the campaign trail in North Carolina last week, Hillary Clinton said last night’s primaries could be a ‘game changer’. They weren’t. After his loss in the Pennsylvania, Barack Obama called Indiana’s primary a ‘tie-breaker.’ It wasn’t. Instead Clinton won Indiana, Barack Obama won North Carolina.

As the courts of the nation struggle to define marriage in a legal sense, devoid of its religiousness, the nation's politicians are not required to follow the same path. In fact, the majority of American politicians have publicly stated that marriage is a state that is, in their interpretation, to be entered into between a man and a woman. Where then, does this leave same sex couples?

Breaking news folks: Chad White got a puppy. To the folks at CNN, this might be good for three seconds of eye candy before moving on to their next email. But to Alek Tomovic and Steph Marquete, the sexy couple behind OhLaLaMag, this is the sort of stuff that keeps the lights on. Sexy mean holding a pup? Stop the presses!

Offering up a political cocktail composed of one part history, one part organization and one part camp appeal, Hillary Clinton has managed to keep LGBT voters intoxicated with her candidacy throughout one of the most grueling campaigns in recent memory. Gays love a camp figure, and as Hillary approaches the national convention, we can almost hear her now: 'Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night!'
