COFFEE HOUR ROUNDUP: JUSTICE FOR ANGIE!

I wonder how the Marriage Equality activists in ANCIENT EGYPT were so successful in "redefining" "traditional" marriage? I guess there was no NOMNOMNOM in Pharaoh's kingdom.

The trial for the murder of Angie Zapata--the first trial to test anti-trans hate crimes--has garnered verdicts of guilty on all charges. JUSTICE IS SERVED!

How did MAINE go yesterday?

NEW YORK Governor Patterson is backing off a little--he previously called for an immediate vote on marriage, but now says that he'll defer to the Senate leadership's guidance.

The CONNECTICUT Legislature has officially codified Marriage Equality.

CALIFORNIA Assembly Member Kevin De Leon is requesting that the U.S. Congress eliminate barriers to immigration for same-sex bi-national couples.

SCOTLAND same-sex couples who are parenting are going to find it legally easier to be parents.

Miss California U.S.A. might get "opposite" married to my favorite stud.

Twitter, LGBT Equality and controlling the message.

The Stonewall Library Archives opens in Fort Lauderdale, FLORIDA today.

I'm personally against outing, and yet, I can't turn away from a good "outing" affair story... Rev. Haggard?

TOAST TO THOSE QUEENS AT STONEWALL!

HBO led the cable networks with shows like gay-created True Blood , No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency , and Big Love ; with over 42% of programming being LGBT inclusive. We're not surprised that there were so many cable networks that ranked high on the index; #2 Showtime's programming consisted of 24% LGBT-inclusive programming, #3 TNT dedicated 19% of its hours to LGBT-inclusive content, #4 MTV 17% (really, only 17?), and #5 Lifetime—the in-denial fourth gay network—had 14%.
