Here's a project we can get behind and we hope you will too!
In the wake of 2009's documentary Outrage, which shined a light on closeted politicians actively legislating against the LGBT community, a new fictionalized film traces a similar story.
A Queen Without His Crown, written and directed by award winning filmmaker Carmen Palaez, targets those politicians that are "holding equality hostage in their closets."

There are some in the gay community who won't give Macklemore & Ryan Lewis any attention after the heart-wrenching last note of "Same Love." I'm not one of those gays. Macklemore's lyrics embody the qualities I like in my men: smart, sassy and full of confidence below the belt.
The artist behind the Out of the Closet/AIDS Healthcare Foundation "Thrift Shop" parody keeps up with Macklemore's wit and flow in a nearly-equally hilarious take on the song. Guest appearances by Pauley Perret, Kat Graham and others certainly help the swag. (I think that's the first time I've ever used that word! The Beliebers on Twitter will be so proud.)
Check out OTC/AHF's "Thrift Shop" after the break.
