Camping, crafts, and uniforms have always held a special allure for some kids; too bad the main sponsor of those activities, the Boy Scouts of America, excludes gays, atheists, and girls.

Was a Gay Mayoral Candidate's Mississippi Murder a Romantic Tryst Gone Awry?
Cord Jefferson · 03/05/13 02:50PMEver since 22-year-old Lawrence Reed, pictured at left, was found driving—and subsequently crashing—33-year-old Marco McMillian's SUV on a highway in Tennessee last week, news outlets have been trying to piece together exactly how the two men knew each other. McMillian, an openly gay candidate for mayor in Clarksdale, Mississippi, was found dead near the Mississippi River after Reed pointed police to his body, prompting many to immediately presume McMillian's death was a hate crime (a black gay man being murdered by bigots in Mississippi wouldn't be much of a stretch). Yet as more details emerge, McMillian's killing seems to be less about a targeted hate attack and more about a relationship that soured.

Cord Jefferson · 03/04/13 09:34PMThis Anti-Marriage Equality Ad Does a Great Job of Mocking the Anti-Marriage Equality Stance
Neetzan Zimmerman · 03/04/13 12:02PMThough less of an actual anti-marriage-equality ad and more of an intentional parody created by Brandon Muller of NonRandomNonSense, "The Ultimate Anti-Gay Marriage Ad" nonetheless manages to get across the anti-marriage-equality camp's grievances against same-sex marriage better than most real anti-marriage-equality ads.
