After just 13 months on the job, GLAAD president Herndon Graddick has resigned.

'I'm proud to leave GLAAD with a stronger, more efficient organization and an incredibly talented and experienced Board and staff,' Graddick said in a statement. 'I'm happy the role I was able to play in advancing the need for our community to fully support the rights of our transgender brothers and sisters.'

Grammy-nominated singer Adam Lambert was the star attraction at the GLAAD Media Awards in San Francisco over the weekend where Spice Girls member Mel B presented him with the Davidson/Valentini Award.

'We are right in the middle of two generations with two different perspectives but one common thread – love,' Lambert told the crowd at the Hilton Hotel in Union Square.

'With all the differences of opinion both within the LGBT community and elsewhere, the best we can do is to keep it real and to spread a message of acceptance.'

A San Francisco lawmaker abandons bid to rename the city’s international airport after Milk due to opposition from Maor Edwin Lee and local press.

Supervisor David Campos said he would instead plan to pursue getting an airport terminal named in Milk's honor, although it is doubted that not even the international terminal, would be a contender.

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.

The organizers of the San Francisco Gay Pride Parade have been under intense scrutiny in the past 48 hours.

I’m a big fan of cheerleading. I think I’ve seen all of the Bring It On movies (all five of them) and on a recent trip to New York City I gave a standing ovation to Bring It On – The Musical, totally loved it.

So I was excited to speak with Nguyen Pham and Ryan Allen from CHEER San Francisco, the city’s LGBT cheer squad.

When was CHEER San Francisco established?

We were founded in 1980 as the world's first LGBT-identified cheerleading team in history.

Adam Lambert may not yet have a Grammy, but he's going to soon have a GLAAD Award.

GLAAD, an LGBT media advocacy organization, announced today that Lambert will receive its Davidson/Valentini Award at the San Francisco ceremony on 11 May.

The award is named after Craig Davidson, GLAAD's first executive director, and his partner Michael Valentini.  It is presented to an openly LGBT media professional who has made a significant difference in promoting equality for the LGBT community. 

Gay icon Margaret Cho had been a longtime fan of Michelle Shocked so she has taken news of the singer's anti-gay rant in San Francisco this week especially hard.

'I cried again when I heard that Michelle Shocked hates gays,' Cho writes in an essay for xojane.com. 'I thought I was safe with her.'

Singer Michelle Shocked is finding herself quickly losing work after an anti-gay tirade during a gig last weekend in San Francisco.

The Telluride Bluegrass Festival in Telluride, Colorado, canceled Shocked's scheduled appearance there - the final date left on her US tour after venues in several other states uninvited her to perform.

On Sunday (17 March), the singer was performing at a jazz club called Yoshi’s when she went into a rant against gay marriage saying: 'I live in fear that the world will be destroyed if gays are allowed to marry.'

Singer Michelle Shocked is suffering backlash after going on an anti-gay tirade in, of all places, San Francisco.

On Sunday (17 March), the singer was performing at a club called Yoshi’s when she went into a rant against gay marriage saying: 'I live in fear that the world will be destroyed if gays are allowed to marry.'

She then said to the crowd: 'You can go on Twitter and say, ‘Michelle Shocked says God hates fags.’”

San Francisco 49er cornerback Chris Culliver has paid a visit to the offices of The Trevor Project keeping a promise he made after making anti-gay remarks in an interview in January.

Culliver tweeted a photo of himself in front of a Trevor Project logo and wrote: 'Great time at LGBTQ the Q is for (question).'

The Trevor Project is a national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to gay and lesbian youngsters.

A man has claimed to have found gay icon Harvey Milk’s ‘marriage license’.

Thomas Ostly says he has found a document in which he believes Milk, the first openly gay man to be elected to US office and was later assassinated in 1978, shows he created a lovers' contract, the Huffington Post reports.
