The FBI Plot to Bring Down the Gay Man Behind the March on Washington




The Trump administration wants to help LGBTQ people abroad. Maybe it should start at home

"The Trump administration’s horrendous record on LGBTQ rights is well-documented: It has worked to erase LGBTQ people from civil rights protections; it has attacked brave transgender service members and veterans; it has undermined civil rights protections for transgender students; it has treated LGBTQ asylum seekers fleeing persecution with cruelty; and it has lavished praise on some of the dictators who regard LGBTQ people as criminals, including Russian President Vladimir Putin.















Not only have Trump and Pence aggressively carried out an anti-LGBTQ agenda, they have also heartily endorsed virulently anti-LGBTQ candidates — including those who support criminalizing same-sex relationships here in the United States. Among those the president and vice president endorsed are former representative Jason Lewis (R-Minn.), who once called LGBTQ people criminals and rapists; Republican congressional candidate Mark Harris of North Carolina, who in 2015 referred fondly to the time when LGBTQ people were criminalized because of their relationships; and failed Senate candidate Roy Moore of Alabama, who once said that same-sex relationships should be illegal."
























The Hidden Queer History Behind “A League of Their Own”

"The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League did everything it could to keep lesbians off the diamond. Seventy-five years later, its gay stars are finally opening up."







‘It Is Not a Closet. It Is a Cage.’ Gay Catholic Priests Speak Out

"The stories of gay priests are unspoken, veiled from the outside world, known only to one another, if they are known at all. Fewer than about 10 priests in the United States have dared to come out publicly. But gay men most likely make up at least 30 to 40 percent of the American Catholic clergy, according to dozens of estimates from gay priests themselves."
