Ted Chalfen, a student at Fairview High School in Boulder, Colorado delivered a moving speech at his school's graduation this past Sunday; he thanked his fellow students and teachers for their support in his decision to come out as a gay man.

It's good stuff, y'all. 

Watch after the jump!

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.

The MLK Weekend edition of Saturday Night Live was one of the funniest of the season so far, thanks largely in part to host Jennifer Lawrence and SNL star Kate McKinnon's reproduction of Jodie Foster's Golden Globe speech. If you missed it, follow the jump to see Jodie kick, stretch and kick her way into Internet meme history. 

The 2013 Golden Globes had so much going for it: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler becoming the best hosts the Globes have ever seen; the SNL alum takeover of Hollywood; Jennifer Lawrence minting a new line of sassy t-shirts with her "I beat Meryl" acceptance speech; Lena Dunham finally ascending to her rightful throne. But with all the Girls making it one of the best Globes ever, it was easily Jodie Foster's raw non-coming out coming out speech that will make this awards broadcast one for the homo history books.

Really.

See what they had to say after the jump.

We pinched ourselves when we woke this morning just to make sure the leaps and bounds of progress the LGBT community made on Election Night were real and not the stuff of our daiquiri dreams/blackout.
