The New York Times editorial division has endorsed marriage equality in the four states where voters will decide the "issue's" fate next week. Details follow. 

With a record number of out-LGBT politicians running for elected office, it's the perfect time to get an inside look into the inner-workings of an LGBT political campaign.

A rare alliance of huge corporations has formed to help combat the bullying epidemic that has plagued the nation. Details follow.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg appeared in Albany this week to amp-up his lobbying efforts for marriage equality and to issue a grave warning to Republican state lawmakers considering voting for hate and discrimination.

We wear our not-hearts on the sleeves of our Prada periwinkle caftan/blouse hybrid, so it's no secret that we do not heart Huckabee. The latest reason we're shaking our head at the Huckster? He wants to reinstate "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" because it's "what the military wants."

A law requiring groups that spend more than $5,000 to influence elections in Maine to reveal their donors has been ruled constitutional by U.S. District Judge D. Brock Hornby. The National Organization for Marriage, which injected $1.9 million to repeal marriage equality in the state, had taken its refusal to disclose donor names all the way to the court with a lawsuit claiming the law was vague, overly broad, and illegal.

"I conclude finally that this Maine law is constitutional," Judge Hornby wrote in his 22-page decision.

Still, don't expect NOM's defeat in court to have the anti-Christian, anti-gay group complying and releasing the list of people who donated money to harm LGBT families in Maine. 

Logo has announced the launch of its first social campaign, beCause. The campaign will focus on a wide variety of issues important to the LGBT community, but the first beCause initiative will tackle the rising rate of HIV infection among gay and bisexual men. To accomplish this, beCause has teamed up with Greater Than AIDS to launch a series of PSAs that start airing today on Logo. 

Logo explains:

Initially, beCause will focus on an issue that many of us have become all too casual about lately: HIV & AIDS. Logo believes we need to redouble our efforts as a community to slow the spread of HIV, and to ensure that we're all staying healthy regardless of status. We are proud to partner with Greater than AIDS on this effort, who bring...

Moments ago Donald Trump announced he is willing to saturate a possible 2012 Republican presidentail bid with "hundreds of millions" of his own fortune. That coupled with the increasingly-likely scenario of Trump running for president (a possibility GOProud has endorsed) doesn't bode well for the American LGBT community.

"No, I'm just not in favor of gay marriage," The Donald told Greta van Susteren. "I live in New York. New York is a place with lots of gays, and I think it is great. But I'm not in favor of gay marriage."

Because if anyone understands the sanctity of marriage, it's thrice-married supermodelizer Donald Trump.

As Maryland and Rhode Island consider marriage equality this week and New York later this year, our fight for the civil right is echoing across all sorts of national platforms. Why Marriage Matters, a national public education campaign, pushes the momentum even further with a new ad campaign that will air across the country beginning Valentine's Day. 

Screw Kings Of Leon and Slash -- Glee needs to stick to the gaydored music it's pimped in the past. With that in mind, a Facebook group has popped up aiming to help Chris Colfer add "some sparkle" to the show with the tunes of Scissor Sisters. We're kicking spanking ourselves for not thinking of this first as it makes complete and utter sense! If Ryan Murphy and Jake Shears decide to go down this glittery road hand-in-hand, which Scissor Sisters song do you think Chris Colfer should tackle on Glee?

To raise awarenes for its Gays and Lesbians Adorn the World campaign, the Serbian-based Gay And Lesbian Info Centre (GLIC) is hoping they do.

We all know that Betty White's return to the top can be accredited to a Facebook Page campaign. But the effect's of the latest social network awareness-raising trend -- changing one's profile picture to coincide with the cause of the day -- are ambiguous. 

Still, the GLIC is asking that those in support of World Human Rights Day (more on it here) on Friday, December 10 add a picture of a well-known LGBT leader as their profile pic to call attention to the group's new campaign. 

We did it to fight bullying, we did it to fight child abuse, and we'll surely keep changing our pictures. But ...
