The wastebasket near our laptop desk is starting to resemble how it looked in college (full of used tissues) after all these tear-jerking videos we're coming across today. The latest comes courtesy of 12-year old Matthew Lannon, who testified on behalf of his two moms in the Rhode Island marriage equality committee hearing yesterday (that lasted until 5 a.m.).

In the wake of Senator Ron Portman's announcement that he's now in support of same-sex marriage after finding out his own son is gay, other Republican lawmakers are being asked if this impacts their own thoughts on marriage equality. 

One politician in particular, Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), was asked for this thoughts on Portman's revelation as well as whether his anti-marriage equality position would change if one of his children turned out to be gay. 

See what he had to say after the jump. (Spoiler alert: He won't be winning any "Dad of the Year" awards.)

If choreography, One Direction and an anti-bullying message occurred more in professional sports, we might buy a team jersey in a non-ironic way one of these days. A group of talented kids in Vancouver brought pro-sports one step closer to our gay dreams when they decided to perform an anti-bullying "Acceptance" flash mob at a Vancouver Giants hockey game. 

Between his outspoken LGBT advocacy (he's a huge supporter of the Trevor Project) and giving us the full monty on Broadway in Equus, Daniel Radcliffe never fails to capture our attention. 

Now that he's shocking Sundance audiences with his "fast-paced" gay sex scenes as beat poet Allen Ginsberg in John Krokidas' Kill Your Darlings, we can safely say we'll never cease to be entralled.
