Advocate correspondent Jason Bellini joined radio host Michaelangelo Signorile on the train ride to Washington D.C. Thursday for his town hall meeting of LGBT leaders, a panel that quickly turned into a "gay-on-gay blame game."
Human Rights Campaign president Joe Solmonese spent most of the panel on the defensive. Stuck in London because of volcano eruption that has grounded flights throughout Europe, Solmonese participated in the panel by phone.
Activist Robin McGehee, who organized last year's National Equality March with David Mixner, called on Solmonese and HRC's other leaders to step down if "we don't get 'don't ask, don't tell' and ENDA by the end of the year."
Solmonese said at the summit he believes the Obama administration will repeal "don't ask, don't tell" this year, but it was clear from the tone among the other participants that patience is wearing thin.

“All of these families look like ours!” That’s what my 10-year-old excitedly shared with my wife and me as we were walking hand-in-hand down Commercial St. in Provincetown, Mass. It was 2014, and we had traveled there from our home in Indiana for our first time at Family Week, a week-long event for LGBTQ+ families hosted by national nonprofit Family Equality. Keep Reading →

Calling the manosphere gay is good for a cheap laugh, and making fun of Andrew Tate’s arrest ensemble is hilarious, but there is nothing funny about the manosphere or its dangerous and violent style of misogyny.

There’s a scene in Pee-wee’s Big Adventure that every kid and adult who grew up with it can recite by heart. Spoiled rich boy Francis Buxton, who would go on to become President of the United States (kidding, kind of), wants Pee-wee’s bike badly enough to try to buy it outright, and when Pee-wee won’t sell, Francis starts throwing insults instead, i.e., crazy, nerd, idiot.
