The White House Correspondents' Dinner is often called an adult prom for nerds. Political journalists wear tuxedoes and evening gowns while drinking with high powered politicians, including the president of the United States.

GOProud and CPAC have never been best buddies. While the LGBT Republican organization attended the annual  Conservative Political Action Conference in 2010 and 2011, there were no invites in 2012 or this year.

Most are pretty certain why a group of gay conservative Republicans are barred from a popular conservative confab. The GOP might talk about changing, but too many Republicans are not ready to accept LGBT like minded voters.

New Jersey high school student Jacob Rudolph has been getting a lot of attention since stepping up on a stage and coming out publicly to more than 300 classmates last week - a  speech that was videoed and put onto YouTube.

Sam Champion, weather anchor of ABC's Good Morning America, officially married Rubem Robierb in New York City last Friday (21 December) but that was only the first step in the wedding march for the couple.

They have headed down to Miami, Florida, where they will have a New Year's Eve ceremony with a more festive, party atmosphere.

Miami is Robierb's hometown and it was at a New Year's Eve party that the couple first met.

The ceremony will be conducted by MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts, a fellow newlywed.

It was only a month ago that Princeton University freshman Duncan Hosie came out to his family as a gay man.

He came out to literally the rest of the world this week when, identifying himself as a gay student, he asked US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia about comments the judge made comparing his moral opposition to homosexuality to his opposition to murder. which the student said he found 'extraordinarily offensive.'

Columnist Dan Savage raised a glass of champagne to those newly married Washington couples (Savage lives in Seattle).

Yesterday (9 December), the noted writer was a guest on the MSNBC news show Up w/ Chris Hayes. The show's host and Savage had a glass of bubbly to celebrate the recent developments in the marriage equality battle.

The most unlikely political superstar to emerge from this month's US presidential election is Nate Silver who predicted, with uncanny accuracy, how Barack Obama would defeat Mitt Romney.

He made his prediction - 90.9 percent certainty of an Obama win - months before an election that most experts were saying was too close to call even on the morning of the vote.

Silver, who is openly gay, also correctly predicted the electoral college results in 50 out of 50 states.

Tricia Macke, a news anchor for the Fox affiliate in Cincinatti, Ohio, has returned to the air following a two-day suspension for referring to Rachel Maddow as an 'angry young man.'

Macke made the comment about the MSNBC anchor, who is a lesbian, on her Facebook page last month. When Facebook followers pointed out that the remark was offensive, Macke refused to back down writing defiantly: 'I knew what I was saying.'

A news anchor for the Fox affiliate in Cincinatti, Ohio apologized late Friday (9 November) for calling MSNBC's lesbian anchor Rachel Maddow an 'angry young man.'

Hours after the Gay Alliance Against Defamation started a petition demanding that Tricia Macke apologize for comments she posted on her Facebook page last month, she did so.

Tricia Macke, a news anchor for the Fox affiliate in Cincinatti, Ohio, is under fire for calling MSNBC's lesbian anchor Rachel Maddow an 'angry young man.'

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and Equality Ohio have launched a petition calling on Fox 19 to condemn comments made last month by Macke on her her Facebook page.

A profile in The New York Times on MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts and his new husband, Patrick Abner, was initially overshadowed by a paragraph deep in the story where Good Morning America weather anchor Sam Champion not only comes out publicly, but announces that he is getting married.

The setting was the rooftop of Manhattan's Gansevoort Hotel on Park Ave. as MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts married his longtime partner, Patrick Abner, in New York City over the weekend.

The couple exchanged their vows in a ceremony Saturday (29 September) performed by Gavin Newsom, the Lieutenant Governor of California and former San Francisco mayor who in 2004 authorized same-sex marriages in that city which were later annulled.

'The BEST night ever with Patrick Abner,' Roberts tweeted after the ceremony. 'Thanks to the most amazing friends and family.'
