Any Twitter user would love to see their updates illuminated to millions in over sized billboards on Times Square and at one of New York's hottest properties. Thanks to MTV's Staying Alive Foundation, Music Fights HIV/AIDS, Lifebeat and The OUT NYC, global citizens now have the chance to do just that by sharing tweets of hope with the hashtag #ArchesOfHope. Details on the groundbreaking interactive campaign that kicks off today after the jump!

Willam has been "interning" (guess that's what they call it now) at Logo's NewNowNext office for a few weeks. Finally, the powers that be realized she looks too damn good to be kept in a cubicle all day, so—unfortunately for middle American tourists—NewNowNext unleashed Willam into Times Square with extra duct tape and a camera. Hilarity ensues.  

Despite what Joan Rivers says or thinks, the LGBTQ community is very much a part of the Occupy Movement, or, is at least on board with overt displays to gain the attention of the people. After the jump, find out what Queer Rising has planned for tonight in Times Square!

Giving local-celebrity The Naked Cowboy a literal run for his money, a group of male models sporting nothing but Andrew Christian underwear and Kangoo cardio boots took over Times Square. The drool-worthy video, after the jump!

A large crowd of world citizens gathered in Times Square after President Obama announced that the U.S. had captured and killed Osama Bin Laden. Exclusive video after the jump.

Though the lunchtime showing was smaller than expected, the spirit was strong and the handful of protestors got their message in front of thousands of visitors to New York City's Times Square. A few images and video from today's event follow:

A last minute protest of DADT/showing of support for the STILL-JAILED Lt. Dan Choi is about to take place in Times Square. From noon - 2 p.m. outside the Times Square Army Recruitment Center (Broadway and 43rd Street), Queer Rising is asking those opposed to Don't Ask, Don't Tell to show up and voice their outrage.

Instinct will be at the NYC protest today, and will post pictures from the event this afternoon here on the blog. Check back soon for updates.

If there's a way to be festive on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Queer Rising found it. The GLBTQI group took to the streets of NYC to celebrate the slain civil rights leaders message and how it applies to our struggle for equality on Monday. The organization was kind enough to share a video of its holiday message with us, which we wouldn't think twice about keeping from you, ravishing readers.

We can't wait for Nov. 12's Shepard Fairey Equality Project kick-off here in L.A. (we told you about it a few week's back). So to hit our fair Fairey fairy spots (it's a mouthful, but we like those...) until then, we have pictures from OBEY (Fairey's apparel extension) and Levi's apparel launch party in Times Square. Enjoy!
