Another NaNoWriMo is in the books (ha) and I’m catching up with everything, so this is a long post Here’s what we have today. First up, a friendly reminder:
A reminder, ‘ex-gay’ isn’t a thing. You can’t pray away the gay. Although this man thinks he did.
A South African judge won’t let a gay couple adopt since they aren’t out, it would be damaging to the child.
Just to put in perspective how insane and bad things are, the President’s World AIDS Day proclamation didn’t mention gay people Let that sink in.

Painting restoration is amazing to watch! It’s pretty much like magic!
Steve Grand has a new music video. It’s a good song, the video is a bit forgettable:

A second actor speaks up here.
Just in case you’re one of the few who haven’t seen it, the new Avenger’s trailer:
For all your mass shooting ‘thoughts and prayers’ needs, just fill in the blanks.
Justin Trudeau gave an amazing speech apologizing to the Canadian queer community for how they were treated in the past by the government.
And finally, the Supreme Court will hear a huge case about business’ right to discriminate. I’m really nervous about it, but hoping Kennedy pulls out a win:
