TMZ is reporting that Chris Brown has returned the $12,500 deposit for him to appear at the lesbian pride party in Atlanta, but Brown is still saying that he was never booked for the event. “Yall gotta stop with this bullshit. I was never booked. Yall love to say I’m homophobic and shit to have something to be mad at. I don’t care that you are gay Harvey. I applaud you and a person of your caliber should be finding outlets for young gay men/teens and women to be more open and comfortable about coming out. Some of my friends have came out to me and I love them just the same. It would really be a blessing if u focused on real issues. But all these false stories to bring your site traffic is corny. But find another person to drag through the mud of lies. I know I’m talented but I’m not running for president any time soon so fall back wit all the nonsense.”


After tepid reviews at the festivals, The Weinstein Company has pulled About Ray, three days before it was to hit theaters. The drama stars Susan Sarandon as a lesbian grandmother and Naomi Watts as her daughter and mother to a 17-year-old teenager transitioning from female to male. Some are speculating TWC has a cashflow problem, while others think he wants to get out of the way for The Danish Girl.

Caitlyn Jenner has taken the steps to legally change her name to Caitlyn and her legal gender to female according to her rep.Caitlyn has not provided some standard information, including her medical history, and is asking the judge to seal most of her personal information because she fears threats.


The first Streamy Award winners have been announced, and I noticed that the Social Good Campaign award went to #ProudToLove, Marriage Equality and LGBT Pride Month.


The earliest known use of the word "fuck" has been discovered in Chester county court plea rolls from December 8, 1310. It references a man named “Roger Fuckebythenavele.” Researchers speculate that it was a nickname given to someone who had friends with a twisted sense of humor.


Sam Smith says he's been moved to tears after learning about homophobia in Russia by watching Reggie Yates: Extreme Russia. “I’m watching Reggie Yates extreme Russia. And I’m sitting here in tears. Watching a man discuss how he would kill gay men and woman with rocks if the law allowed it. I just want any gay men or woman who are in Russia right now, to know I am thinking about you all the time. And I’m so sorry you have to go through what you’re going through. seeing it visually being said, is so horrific."


USA Rugby has signed a memorandum of understanding with the International Gay Rugby League to help provide training and stamp out homophobia in the sport, as well as provide sensitivity training.


Shaquille O'Neal says he turned down an endorsement deal with Starbucks because black people don't drink coffee. “I’m like, ‘coffee, eh. Because growing up in my household, I’d never seen a black person drink coffee. So it was my thought process that black people didn’t drink coffee.” He says he grew up drinking sweet tea, so he told them no. “I looked at the great Howard Schultz’s face and said, ‘Black people don’t drink coffee, sir. I don’t think it’s gonna work.’ And you should have seen the look on his face."


CBS chief Nina Tassler is leaving her job to do things other than television. She's built the network into a powerhouse, but we've tangled with her more than once at the TCAs for their lack of representation of LGBT characters. I'd like to think her replacement might do better, but her replacement Glenn Geller has worked for her for years, so we're probably going to get more of the same.


Buzzfeed has a poll to figure out which city you should live in based on your taste in men. I'm thinking my answers were pretty shallow as they pegged me with Los Angeles, which would honestly drive me insane. I'd prefer New York or Seattle. I'm sure they have hot guys in both.


Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni says that the Anti-Homosexuality Act isn't necessary in his country, because they have the old British colonial law to deal with gays. Thanks, Britain.


New Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnball may support marriage equality, but he has no plans to change the plebiscite that's planned for 2017 on the matter, which will still require an act of parliament to make it a law. “Historically this issue has been resolved, issues of this type has been resolved, in parliament by free vote and the honourable member is correct in referring to that. Another way of dealing with this – another way of dealing with this is by a vote of the people. And the Coalition, our government, has decided that the resolution of this matter will be determined by a vote of the people, all the people, via a plebiscite, to be held after the next election. There is no greater virtue in a free vote here or a plebiscite. They are each means of resolving the matter – one, I grant you is more expensive but, nonetheless, it is a very legitimate and democratic way of dealing with it.” There is a greater value, sir. One could happen now.


I was a little stunned at your reactions to the reporter asking Tom Hardy about his sexuality, which he's discussed in the past. Back in the AfterElton days, readers constantly ripped us if we didn't ask those questions of actors. Now Daily Xtra is explaining why they asked the question, noting they'd had similar discussions with Ellen Page, Susan Sarandon and Evan Rachel Wood. "As Canada’s gay and lesbian news source, we feel it’s our responsibility to examine sexuality and the ways in which it’s portrayed on screen, especially once it’s in the public eye."


I work retail, and if the CEO of the company showed up unannounced I'd die on the spot. But Buzzfeed accompanied Tim Cook on an unannounced visit to the Apple Store in New York, and he was greeted like a rock star, with mobs of selfies and hugs, both from customers and employees. Granted, with that scene I'm not sure he could actually evaluate the store like a normal CEO, but it shows he's more than a boss, he's a celebrity.


Aussie bobsledder Simon Dunn is back in Australia from training in Canada because he has to try out for the team again, so he takes us along as he lifts, jumps, and gets measured, all while wearing very little. It all turns out great in the end, with him making the team again and celebrating by stripping down to a Speedo and hitting the ocean.

Our Hen House is a group of vegans that feels that the fight for equality for LGBT people should extend to the fight for animal's rights. They really do see them as equal things.

Nike recreated the famous Animal House toga party with great athletes from the Oregon Ducks past. It's kind of fun to watch, especially since they managed to get Otis Day and the Knights to perform "Shout" for the commercial. It also features Oregon grad Ty Burrell.


In a new Funny or Die video, Amber Rose continues to assert, correctly, that women can do what they want with their bodies, including having sex. Here you see her slipping quietly out of a guy's house and walking home, the Walk of No Shame. As she encounters people to judge her, they're all supportive and giving her high-5s for having a good time. In fact, everyone is supportive of her having a one night stand, except when the guy, played by Matt McGrorry catches up to her. I know I've done the Walk of No Shame through the gayborhood on many occasions, and totally support women being able to do the same.
