Democratic Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy has withdrawn his proposed amendment to the Senate's immigration reform bill that would have recognized binational same-sex married couples and allowed them to apply for green cards.
His decision came after it became clear that he would not have the 60 votes needed for the bill's passage. Key votes from Democrats were lost as Republican Senators made it clear that they would vote down the bill if LGBT provisions were included.

In April we reported on Kristopher Sharp, the University of Houston-Downtown junior who was running to become vice president of the university's student body.
In a move that would have made Tracy Flick cringe in Election, someone that opposed Sharp's candidacy posted flyers announcing Kristopher's HIV-positive status with the question "Want AIDS?" blaring across the top. Kristopher was also accused of attempting to spread the "homosexual agenda."
Well apparently the students at UH-Downtown aren't easily influenced by fear-mongering and bigotry, because Kristopher won the election!
He speaks with POZ Magazine about the experience after the jump!
