historic pledge of non-discrimination in the Commonwealth. "We are implacably opposed to all forms of discrimination, whether rooted in gender, race, colour, creed, political belief or other grounds." Other grounds is meant to refer to GLBT people, but toned down to defer to members of the Commonwealth that still have draconian gay laws. While it sounds like a cop out to me, diplomatic sources say "The impact of this statement on gay and women’s rights should not be underestimated. Nothing this progressive has ever been approved by the United Nations. And it is most unusual for the Queen to request to sign documents in public, never mind call the cameras in."
The UFC's Rashad Evanshas come out for equality after talking to his friend Brendon Ayanbedejo. “I've never been a homophobe, never understood what that is all about. I knew some people who were gay and never cared about their sexuality. But at the same time, I didn't fully understand the issues around gay people until my friend BA started telling me about his full public support for gay marriage. We talked about the issue and I decided it's not enough to not be against a minority, if you want things to go better for them you have to speak up with them."
Oz the Great and Powerfulis going to win the box office by a landslide, taking in an estimated $75 million, making it the biggest opening of the year, and one of the biggest March openings of all time.
Remember earlier in the week when everyone thought a judge in Michigan might rule for the right to marry in the state, only to have him delay a decision until after the Supreme Court rules? It turns out that major GLBT organizations like the HRC recommended that action, fearing an appeal to the conservative 6th Court of Appeals might jeopardize the Supreme Court rulings.

Was Maggie Gallagher always a raging anti-equality activist, or was she once a sweet, smart little girl? One man grew up as her neighbor, then went on to have Orson Scott Card as a writing instructor, and came out alive.
Isaiah Washington, most famous for calling TR Knight a faggot on Grey's Anatomy, has joined the pilot of The CW's The Hundred. That's one show I'll never watch if it gets picked up.
Eddie Izzard talks to The Advocateabout coming out as transgender. "When I first came out, I went to a transsexual/transgender support group, where I was talking to a transvestite lawyer. He said, “I’m looking at it as a gift.” So I thought of this as a positive way of looking at it. It is actually a gift because women talk to me in a different way. If I had more makeup on and was more girly, I think I’d be more sensitive to it, but I’m able to walk around in heels and nails and not give a monkey’s blok about it. If you are an alternative sexuality, you have to look at it as a gift or otherwise it’s going to grind you down. In the end, I’m a much more positive person for having come out."
It turns out that certain nanoparticles from bee venom can kill HIV, breaking down the membrane that protects the virus. Initial applications might include a gel to protect against infection, but could eventually be used to treat the disease.

a "fag" joke. As penance, he created a PSA addressing anti-gay language for teens. Now GLAADis giving him an award for the PSA, which frankly, offends me. He didn't make the PSA out of the goodness of his heart, he did it under public condemnation to rehab his image, and GLAAD, which pressured him into making it should not be rewarding him.

I'd exercise caution reading this at work, but a man livetweeted his trip to the hospital to have a vibrating dildo removed from his backside after losing his grip on the toy, and it's hilarious.
Brendon Ayanbedejo says that gay rights are the toughest battle of his life. And he understands that his outspokenness could have an adverse effect on his NFL career. "With me comes a lot of advocacy. Say the Ravens release me for whatever reasons this year and I want to play and go to another team. Now they're getting Brendon Ayanbadejo the football player, but they're also getting all the things I stand up for as well. Whatever is going to happen is going to happen. The organization backed me up and said it's ok that you believe in marriage equality but for me to speak as loud as I did and to advocate for it as much as I did, when we started doing media requests the Ravens couldn't take that stuff on because it's not sports related. They would hand all that stuff to my personal PR staff. Football is primarily about football. They want to touch education and kids and fundraising with Christmas type events. They don't want to be political but at the same time they wantImage may be NSFW.

Our former editor Michael Jensen tips us to Steven Saylor, an author of historical fiction, who also writes gay erotica under the name of Aaron Travis. He recently made all of his work available on the Kindle including a best-of audio book narrated by Susie Bright called No Shades of Grey, which is worth checking out.

A while back, we told you aboutThe Dark Place, an upcoming gay thriller starring Timo Descamps, Sean Paul Lockhart, Blaise Embry, and Eddy Rioseco that's due to start filming next month. The Kickstarter is for the RED camera is fully funded at this point, but they're still taking donations to unlock some addition content and make the film better, so they sent over some test shots of Blaise and Eddy, who are just too sexy, in completely different ways.

Star Trek Into Darkness just released a new trailer, and it's very light on the Cumberbatch. Instead, it emphasizes Kirk's journey in the movie, which makes sense outside of Tumblr. After all, Kirk is going to be in all the sequels they make, while Cumberbatch is likely a one shot villain. At this point, Kirk is still a loose cannon, but that may be just what The Federation needs to take down a terrorist.
I'm a big fan of freerunning - the athleticism is just amazing to me, and there's not many settings that allow for a spectacle like an airplane graveyard, and tossing in 40 or so freerunners makes for quite an epic short film.
Sex In Videogames is in French, so I don't really know what they're saying, but the pairings and the references to the game play are universal. I was sure they'd make Link gay, but they decided to go in a different direction for gay representation, and it totally works for me.
The Bling Ring is loosely based on the true story of young people robbing celebrities. It's fun to see Emma Watson get her bad girl on after years of playing the ultimate good girl.
In the latest installment of This Week In Unnecessary Censorship, I think that many parents are never going to be able to look at Diego the same way again, leaving their children to wonder why they're snickering all the time.
Cheyenne Jackson really never ceases to amaze me. Looking like he just rolled out of bed (and who wouldn't want to roll out of bed looking like that), he manages a beautiful cover of "Your Song" in a single run through, pausing to give his adorable dog a bit of love as he goes.
I really wish that the full first segment of The Simpsons last week was online, but it's not. Homer decides to bid on a storage unit like on all those cable shows, and comes up with wigs and feather boas, only to discover that it belongs to his father. He and Marge decide that Grandpa is so cranky because he's been gay and closeted all those years, and set out to drag him out of the closet into happiness. Of course, Grandpa isn't gay, but their absolute determination to be supportive is kind of a wonder to watch. It's a cartoon version of what happens when allies get carried away, and it was completely brilliant. This one scene I could get doesn't do it justice. This is the sort of social commentary that use to make The Simpsons great on a regular basis.
