Former Teen Wolf star Colton Hayneshas joinedArrow as Roy Harper, a character who has a complicated history in DC comics. Roy Harper was variously the civilian alter ego of Green Arrow's sidekick Speedy, Teen Titan'sArsenal, and Justice League'sRed Arrow. Nobody is yet talking much about Haynes' character on Arrow, but what really matters is if he gets to train on the salmon ladder shirtless like Stephen Amell.
Speaking of Arrow, John Barrowman talked to TV Guideabout his character. He won't reveal if he's actually playing the Dark Archer, but he does talk about how his character's importance grows throughout the season, so we should be looking forward to seeing a lot more of him going forward.
UNSecretary General Ban Ki-Moongave an extraordinary statement of support for GLBT people. “More than 76 countries still criminalize homosexuality. I am pained by this injustice. I am here to again denounce violence and demand action for true equality.

"If the fiscal showdown isn't resolved by the end of the year, funding will be slashed for federal agencies working to combat bullying and school violence against LGBT students, and will reduce financial aid and job placement programs that are critical bridges for LGBT youth who want to start a career or go to college.

When speaking with students at Princeton, Justice Scalia was questioned about his anti-gay writings by a student, who wasn't even allowed to finish the question of why the Justice had compared being gay to bestiality. He then proved his anti-gay credentials. “It’s a form of argument that I thought you would have known, which is called the ‘reduction to the absurd. If we cannot have moral feelings against homosexuality, can we have it against murder? Can we have it against other things?” He then said he wasn't equating homosexuality with murder, but drawing a parallel between bans on both. Not really how I want a Supreme Court Justice behaving.

The latest Epic Rap Battle pits Santa against Moses in the most blasphemous war yet, especially once you factor in that Snoop Lion is playing the part of Moses. This is the true War On Christmas.
