Sexy Pennsylvania lawmaker Brian Sims has predicted that the US will elect a gay president within the next ten years. “Looking at the current trend in the American opinion, we’ll have a gay president in 10 years.” Brian describes Barack Obama as “one of the top 10 pro-LGBT activists in America”, adding that “no other president has done more” for the gay community. Did he always do it the way we wanted? No, but he’s done more than all the other presidents put together. He’s changed mentalities, particularly within the African-American community.” Brian K. Sims (born September 16, 1978)is a Democratic and also a lawyer and activist on LGBT civil rights. Sims is the first openly gay elected state legislator in Pennsylvania history. In 2000, Sims was the co-captain of the Bloomsburg University football team, and was recognized as a scholar athlete. Following the longest season in the Division II school’s history, Sims came out as gay.In doing so, the regional All-American and team captain became the only openly gay college football captain in NCAA history.

Laverne Cox Becomes First Transgender Person On The Cover Of Time, Discusses Childhood Suicide Attempt!!! One of the most touching memories in this interview: when she was a boy, she remembers going to dance class but being barred from ballet because “ballet was too gay.” It was just one instance of gender stopping her from what she wanted, and suffering because of the attitudes of those around her. With all the discussions nowadays about the word tranny, this interview and becoming the first transgender cover photo on TIME Magazine is a good step in the right direction and the “Orange Is The New Black-star Laverne could not be a better role model.
A couple from California have created a touching home video to share the story of their transgender son.
Jeff and Hillary Whittington’s son, Ryland, was born a girl but began transitioning into a boy at the age of just five. Ryland told his parents “I am a boy” as soon as he learned to speak, and often asked, “Why did God make me like this?”. After doing extensive research online, his parents came to the conclusion that Ryland was transgender. They cut his hair, redecorated his bedroom and began referring to him as a boy. Watch the touching video about Ryland’s transition:

All four of Etheridge’s children participated in the wedding. he singer and the Nurse Jackie creator had been friends for more than a decade before they began dating in 2010. Last June, they announced their engagement following the Supreme Court’s historic decisions regarding gay rights, with Etheridge calling Wallem “my true love.” Congratulations from Pink In Our Lives and we wish you many happy years full of love together.
Australian football player Rhyian Anderson-Morley decided to come out as gay so openly in order to fight against homophobia in sport. Rhyian argues that gay players in sport doesn’t need to be a big deal. His decision to come out so openly came after hearing homophobic language spoken in the changing rooms after training, and no one seemed to care. ‘I knew that some people might not like the idea of playing with a gay bloke, and I didn’t want to upset the team atmosphere, especially when I was just trying to learn the ropes. Would it have caused as much drama as some people seem to think? Perhaps knowing a gay bloke was at the club would get them to have a look at themselves and what they say. I don’t know whether footy is ready for an openly gay player. But events like those over recent weeks have helped me at least decide that it’s time I found out.’
