Must be a great day to live in Minnesota- unless you’re Michele Bachmann.
The New Normal is a decent show, but it’s so damn preachy. Not every episode needs to be about highlighting some LGBT-related societal flaw.
In fact, the show is going to turn moderate-minded people OFF by shoving a liberal agenda down their throats. And I’m a liberal saying this. That doesn’t mean the show shouldn’t tackle LGBT-related issues, but there are far more subtle ways to do that than trying to force an overt moral message into every single episode.

FIREFLY Rewatch: Simon Tam is SO gay. Like, SO.SO. gay.
Maybe that’s an unpopular opinion. I just remember getting pissed the first time I watched Firefly when he and Kaylee started flirting. I’m not referring to Sean Maher as an actor (though he is gay). I’m saying Simon, as a character, just always seemed gay from the beginning. And honestly, I think it would have been a great opportunity for Joss to have a lead, openly gay male character in one of his shows/films (something STILL lacking from all his projects- Andrew doesn’t really count).
Will & Grace knows what’s up.
The ‘coming out’ conversation between Buffy and her mom during “Becoming - Part II” is powerful on so many levels.
Especially if you replace the word ‘slayer’ with gay/lesbian/bisexual/whatever.
“After Harvey Milk became one of the first out gay people elected in 1977, he put up a sign in his store window that just said, “Thank You.” Thirty-five years later, an out lesbian named Tammy Baldwin would be elected to the US Senate. Remembering Harvey Milk, killed on this day in 1978.”
Yale GALA Music Video
GREAT musical performances covering the full LGBT spectrum (without being super stereotypical!). WIN Yale!
A president who supports marriage equality and a record number of women in the senate (including the first openly lesbian senator). Not perfect, but not bad USA.

- : Spoiler alert: Obama wins.
In a new Gallup study, 6.4% of Americans between the ages of 18-29 now identify themselves as LGBT.
This is a record high, and it is important to note that this number only reflects the people who PUBLICLY acknowledge to being LGBT. As we know, there are still many in the closet. This is also only one study to consider.
