Tags: electronic arts, video games, lgbt visibility

Electronic Arts hosted a conference this week in New York City detailing the current landscape of LGBT visibility in video games. While much work still needs to be done to present a more diverse spectrum of characters in the billion-dollar industry, EA deserves a pat on its own back for its use of same-sex love and attraction in many of its recent titles. 

"Hate Is Not A Game," a video shown at this week's event, is like a veritable parade detailing EA's gay pride. Check it out after the break.

We love that Kelly Clarkson just gets it when it comes to a duet! She's clearly confident enough in her vocals that she doesn't feel the need to compete or overpower those that she's singing with and as a result both performances get elevated. 

Why haven't we started applying that lesson to our lives?!

Jewel revisited her 90's classic "Foolish Games" for her upcoming greatest hits album, Greatest Hits and asked Kelly to join her! 

The results are pretty magical, but listen for yourself after the jump to see if you agree!

Awards season officially feels like it's kicked off when the Golden Globes come around, no?

And one of the reasons we love the Globes so much is that our fave celebs tend to let their hair down a bit (read: get wasted)!

In that spirit, this year's co-hosts (whom we adore!), Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have created the ultimate drinking game, which we'll certainly be participating in.

Check it out and let us know who you're rooting for tonight after the jump!

We had high hopes for Matthew Mitcham to take gold in the 10m diving competition closing out the London Olympics this weekend (and not just because of his promise to dive naked). The guy's charming, a great international ambassador for the LGBT community and just plain talented. When things didn't quite work out the way we all had hoped on Saturday, gay diving fans across the world tossed on their Vera Wang veils and held memorials for what Matthew said would be the end of his career. 

But according to an interview on his way out of London, it looks like we can put out the candles and start looking forward to Rio's Summer Games in four years because Matthew may very well not retire!

Details follow.

Our idea of an Ab Fab Olympics is curling up with four or five bottles of Veuve Clicquot and watching a BBC America marathon of the iconic British comedy. Thankfully, Patsy and Edina have something totally different in mind. 

Watch the first preview for the Ab Fab Olympics special after the jump!

Josh Hutcherson seems intent upon making us fall more and more in love with him.

Yes, he's only 19, but hearing (and watching—don’t forget watching) him speak in support of the LGBT community makes it clear that he's ALL man.

Josh accepted the Vanguard award at GLAAD's 2012 ceremony this weekend.

Prepare to swoon over his speech after the jump.
