Mark Ferrandino, Speaker of the Colorado House of Representatives, had a civil-union ceremony with partner Greg Wertsch this weekend at the Colorado State Capitol.
Minnesota Vikings running back and NFL MVP Adrian Peterson says he's got gay relatives but he's "not with" same-sex marriage. Well, that's one less invitation to send out.

Speaking of pride marches in the former Soviet Union, gays in Ukraine defied a government ban and held the first-ever Kiev Pride. The whole thing lasted 40 minutes and a little more than 200 yards, but sympathic police still had to arrest 13 Orthodox Christians trying to break it up.
Gay and trans teens in Thailand who being forced into the monkhood by their repressive parents are coming out as queer on Facebook.
