Hollywood actress Uma Thurman is set to play anti-gay rights activist Anita Bryant in a biopic.

Bryant was a 70’s singer, beauty queen and celebrity spokesperson for orange juice. She was named Good Housekeeping’s ‘Most Admired Woman in America’ three years in a row.

In 1997, Bryant’s celebrity career collapsed when her anti-gay activist past was revealed. The mother from Florida successfully campaigned to stop gays from teaching or adopting a child in the state.

A controversial radio host is claiming Gay Star News and other LGBT news sites can turn kids gay.

Linda Harvey, host of Mission America’s radio show, says gay news sites and blogs that are ‘sympathetic to the social and political goals of the homosexual movement’ will lead children into questioning their sexuality.

Forget LA – for a certain type of traveller, San Francisco IS California. And by ‘certain type of traveller’, we don’t just mean the gay ones. Consider the top three activities on any respectable San Francisco to-do list: they aren't exactly sexuality-specific.

Televangelist Pat Robertson continued his pattern of anti-gay comments on his 700 Club show Monday when he claimed that gay people can change their orientation just as murderers, rapists and thieves can change.

Robertson was telling his viewers about a case in Ecuador where a politician made anti-gay remarks and was found to have violated his country’s electoral code’s prohibition on discrimination.

Robertson said speaking out against homosexuality is not 'hate speech.'

It has been over six months since I contributed an article for Gay Star News.

So much has happened but often we can only wait by the sideline and do little or nothing. Often when we intervene we make it worse. That’s the case in global LGBT rights, where we can do harm by saying the wrong thing or even playing the politics of power and money.

As GSN continues to grow internationally so does our media partnerships, and we’re delighted to welcome one of America’s largest LGBT celebrations to our pride portfolio.  

Taking place in West Hollywood, CA from 7 to 9 June, this three-day spectacle will feature a series of events to rival those of past years.

LA Pride officially kicks off with the Purple Party on 7 June. In addition, 2013 will also see the return of the Pride run, Dyke March and LA’s largest gathering of LGBT and LGBT supporters with Sunday’s Pride Parade.

Ousted lesbian den leader Jennifer Tyrrell says she is pleased the Boy Scouts of America will be voting on a proposal to end its ban on gay members. But she is upset the organization would continue to ban gay adults.

The membership numbers for Navigators USA, an alternative group to the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), have more than doubled in the past year.

In March 2012, Navigators USA had 19 chapters, compared with today’s 45. There are currently up to 600 boys and girls enrolled on the program.

Rising membership levels of alternative organizations are in stark contrast to the Boy Scouts whose membership has declined by approximately one third by 2012.

The BSA has come under fire since its decision to uphold its controversial anti-gay ban in July 2012.

The Republican National Committee today voted to reaffirm the party's opposition to gay marriage during a three-day meeting in Los Angeles.

The vote comes as public opinion polls show more than half of Americans support marriage equality. It also comes as the US Supreme Court is deciding whether or not the Defense of Marriage Act and California's Proposition 8 are constitutional.

Meeting at Loews Hollywood Hotel, party leaders unanimously approved 12 resolutions in all, including one affirming that marriage is 'a union between one man and one woman.'

As an openly gay hip-hop artist for over 10 years, I thought Frank Ocean was old news. Gay, lesbian, bi and trans rappers have been openly rocking the mic for nearly two decades now. Starting in 1997 with the formation of hip-hop collective the Rainbow Flava crew, the long and brave history of homo-hop has brought to us to new artists like Le1f and Zebra Katz.

Clint McCormack always wanted to have kids. But neither he, nor his partner Bryan, ever expected to raise 10 boys.

With Mark, 20, Cooper, four, Garret, 18, Kenny, 20, Keegan, 14, Seth, 17, Graeme, 19, Liam, eight, Hayden, seven, and Caleb, 13, they may well be the biggest gay family in the world.

As the Supreme Court puts gay marriage at the top of the news agenda, I asked Clint how he ended up with such a big family and what its like living with 10 growing boys.

How did you start your family?

London cabaret acts, Amy Lamé and Scottee, have responded to a world where fat is under attack, mocking Miss America-style pageants with entertainment show, Hamburger Queen.

The gay duo explained in an interview with Beige Magazine, they were ‘sick of the negative portrayal of larger people’ and decided it was ‘time to celebrate more healthy role models in chub culture’.
