Bryant Huddleston, a successful Los Angeles television producer, was scheduled to give a commencement speech at Sloan-Hendrix High School in Imboden, Arkansas where he is an alum.

Well that invitation's been rescinded. Why? 

Yeah, you guessed it. Bryant Huddleston is gay, y'all. And apparently, that's just not okay.

Just in case there was any confusion, Democratic Senator Mark Pryor from Arkansas wants to make it very clear that he definitely opposes marriage equality.

You can all rest easy now. 

See what he had to say after the jump.

We're all for helping a great cause, so we're sharing a video from friend of Instinct and filmmaker Elliot London that brings to light the plight of LGBT teens from across our country.

The Arkansas Democrat Gazette isn't acting very democratically and has found itself the subject of a protest after denying a gay couple's request to print their commitment ceremony announcement. Details follow. 

Great news out of Arkansas today where the state's Supreme Court has dismantled an archaic law barring same-sex parents from adopting children in need of loving homes. Story after the jump!

The only way im wearin it for them is if they all commit suicide. I cant believe the people of this world have gotten this stupid. We are honoring the fact that they sinned and killed therselves because of their sin. REALLY PEOPLE.” [sic, and from an education professional, keep in mind!]

In response to the dangerous homophobia the education board member spewed,...
