Is notorious flip-flopper making promises to Log Cabin Republicans behind closed doors?

After speaking with the Log Cabin Republican's executive director, R. Clarke Cooper, The Nation's Ben Adler theorizes that the Governor may have made a big promise to the LCR regarding the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). The act will protect gay, lesbian, and trangender Americans from employment discrimination.

The question is, will he keep it once his anti-gay supporters (who he's also made promises to) get wind of it.

Did the owners of the Liberty Ridge Farm learn nothing from the gorgeous Ellen and Portia nuptials?!

A New York lesbian couple has filed a discrimination complaint with the state after the venue denied them the option of using their site for their wedding based on their sexual orientation.

We watched this clip through gritted teeth as Missouri Reverend Phil Snider of Brentwood Christian Church argued with blinding zeal and hatred that sexual orientation and gender identity should not be added to Springfield, Missouri's nondiscrimination ordinance. 

The Reverend shamefully uses the Bible to promote fear and ignorance towards members of the LGBT community...and then something miraculous happens. 

So worth watching and we implore you to watch till the end. Clip after the jump!

We’d hoped progress was being made in Anoka, Minnesota, the site of a rash of suicides among gay youth, but a move on the part of the Anoka Halloween Festival Committee definitely isn’t sending  a message of inclusion.

The festival committee has denied a request to allow Justin’s Gift, an anti-bullying youth group formed in memory of Justin Aaberg (a teen who took his own life), to march in the group’s popular parade on Oct. 27. The festival committee has also refused to answer community questions regarding its decision to deny Justin’s Gift members a spot in the parade.

Rebecca Krone, an Anoka mom, is leading a campaign on Change.org to allow Justin’s Gift to participate.

The New York Times published an interview this weekend with anti-gay Minnesota House Rep. Michele Bachmann's lesbian step-sister, Helen LaFave. 

Bachmann's mother and LaFave's father have been married for 40 years, which makes Bachmann's continued attacks on the well-being of the gay community and more specifically her own family member that much more disheartening. 

LaFave speaks on her relationship with Bachmann and the politician's "very very sad legacy" after the jump.

Ellen DeGeneres made good on her promise to host Ryan Andresen, the teen that was dismissed from the Boy Scouts after completing Eagle Scout requirements once it was revealed that he was gay. 

While Ellen couldn't give Andresen the Eagle Scout award that he'd rightfully earned, she gave him something else that will positively impact his future. 

Watch after the jump.

So much LOOOOOOVE coming from the pulpit today. 

Jeremy over at Good As You brought us this warm and fuzzy nugget from Pastor Harry Jackson who calls gay families "discombobulated Frankenstein structures."

Listen as he preaches to his flock after the jump.

The Ukrainians aren't going to let the Russians have all of the anti-gay fun!

Ukrainian lawmakers have tentatively approved a bill that will give jail time to individuals that disseminate positive information about gays.

Minnesota Vikings football player Chris Kluwe is continuing on his quest to be named our athlete of the year (we don't actually name an official "athlete of the year," but if we did he'd be in the running)!

He's challenged anti-marriage equality Minnesota House Rep. Mary Franson to a debate.

President Joyce Banda has let down the LGBT community in her southern African country after breaking her campaign pledge to trash Malawi's archaic anti-homosexuality laws.

Creators of the vehemently anti-gay Manhattan Declaration say they are "deflated" by the intolerance of some signers who wish to withdraw their support because the doctrine isn't hateful enough.

It gets messy after the jump. 

Bret Easton Ellis. Step away from the Twitter.

The director didn't make any fans when he insinuated that openly gay actors can't convincingly play straight characters and we doubt he'll be erased from anyone's shit list following his apparent agreement with Paris Hilton's recent anti-gay AIDS rant.

See what he had to say after the jump.
