Obama Administration responds to Stop the Deportations
The DOMA Project blog, StopTheDeportations.com, announced late last week that the Obama Administration was expanding its deportation policy to LGBT families.
The DOMA Project was responding to the Deputy Press Secretary for the Department of Homeland Security which in a surprising shift in policy with respect to married same-sex couples facing deportation said on August 1st, “When exercising prosecutorial discretion in enforcement matters, DHS looks at the totality of the circumstances presented in individual cases, including whether an individual has close family ties to the United States as demonstrated by his or her same-sex marriage or other longstanding relationship to a United States citizen.”

Danell Leyva
BONUS POST: Earlier today Manhunt Daily posted a series of photos of US Gymnast, Danell Leyva, so I thought I’d share one of my favorites. You can see more photos on their site here.
Wake up
It is Monday and it is time to get up for work.
dBar: Chic-2B-gay
Looking for dinner plans this weekend? Consider checking out dbar. The Dorchester restaurant and bar has responded to the Chick-Fil-A controversy in a very positive and creative manner. Best of all, a portion of their proceeds this weekend will go to GLAAD’s Speak Out Against Chick-Fil-A campaign.
Furry Friday
Each Friday I post a photo of a guy with a hairy chest and refer to it as my “Furry Friday” post. Here is this week’s installment. I love everything about this picture. What do you think?
Suddenly it makes sense
One of the things I love about the Olympics is that sports not normally televised get prime time viewing. For example, who didn’t enjoy watching all the swimming events earlier this week? Even if you don’t swim, I’m fairly certain the appeal of the sport suddenly makes sense.
AIDS in the United States
AIDSVu at Emory University has released an interactive map illustrating the prevalence of HIV in the U.S. The AIDSvu map shows the U.S. still has a significant problem with HIV and AIDS. If you visit their website you may analyze the data by race, age and gender. The deeper shades of red indicate more HIV cases.
~50% newly diagnosed AIDS cases in U.S. are in the South
Eight of the ten U.S. states with the highest rates of new HIV infection are located in the Southeast. High rates of poverty factor in as well, as does the region’s low ranking on many basic health measures.
AIDSVu has pulled together a quick video which reminds us that AIDS still ravages communities and education and prevention remain our most powerful tools to combat HIV and AIDS.
Men’s water polo
I have a regular post called Suddenly it makes sense. Recently, I’ve had posts on my blog regarding surfing, gymnastics, and back in late June I featured water polo.
However, after seeing the BuzzFeed article 33 Things to love about water polo, I realized I didn’t do the sport justice. Here are some images of water polo Olympians. If you’ve never bothered to watch the game, perhaps after viewing these pictures you’ll take an interest in the sport.
Democratic Party expected to formally back gay marriage
The Associated Press is reporting that The Democratic Party is moving to include support for gay marriage in the official party platform for the first time. This would be a very significant milestone for advocates of same-sex unions and a repudiation of those opposing this right.
For better or worse, the US has only two major political parties and while many in the Democratic Party have been advocates and allies of the LGBT community, making same sex marriage an official party platform brings additional legitimacy to the issue and draws yet another distinction between the two parties.
Um… hello
Is this what one would find in a field of hay? I might need to start making more trips out to the country. Thanks for sharing Julian.
Oh Canada!
If this doesn’t give you Olympic fever nothing will. The Olympic Games in London start today. Thanks to James Anok for sharing on his FB page.
Furry Friday
Each Friday I post a photo of a guy with a hairy chest and refer to it as my “Furry Friday” post. This week I’m featuring a furry duo. I thought the photograph was really sweet.
Amazon founder to donate $2.5 million to marriage equality in Washington State
Same Sex marriage advocates have had outspoken supporters in Hollywood with big name actors since the debate started. More recently large donations and endorsements for marriage equality have come from successful and much admired business leaders.
Bill Gates (Microsoft founder) and Steve Ballmer (current CEO) revealed they had each donated $100,000 to support the same sex marriage initiative currently being challenged by ballot in Washington State. Earlier in the year Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs, made news when he made a video for Americans for Marriage Equality.
However earlier this week, Jeff Bezos, the billionaire founder of Amazon.com, and his wife, MacKenzie, made jaws drop when they agreed to donate $2.5 million to help pass a same-sex marriage referendum in Washington State, becoming among the largest financial backers of gay marriage rights in the country.
You can read more about their incredible donation here.
