2012 – Today's Mighty Oak

Wherein I take a look back at 2012

2012 was a big year, for a lot of reasons. And in the LGBT community, we have a lot to celebrate.

Towleroad has 150 “game-changing” moments of the year, from the sitting president endorsing marriage equality to engagements, the full repeal of DADT and so much more.

Outsports has a roundup of the biggest news stories of the year from the sports community.

Gay film make Ryan James Yezak put together an end of the year video. It covers all news and pop culture, but is in his unique style (seizure warning, seriously. I tend not to like much of what he does because of it, but this I really liked):

And finally, Towleroad has the 50 biggest coming outs of the year. You can put me at number 51.

Of course for me, I finally began living my life to the fullest and more honestly. I certainly have a ways to go, but I’m excited for what 2013 will have in store for me.

All my best,

Mike

I’ve already posted Google’s Zeitgeist, and there are two others I always look forward to, although this year I’m adding a fourth.

And adding to the yearly rotation, YouTube’s Rewind:

That’s it for now, but I’ll be back soon with more, have a great one!

Today, Google posted its third annual zeitgeist video. I like last year’s a bit better, but this one is touching, amazing and the art direction is pretty cool:
