Many gay men are fans of gay porn actor Jessie Colter, who just took to social media to describe a murder attempt he says has shaken him to his core.

The familiar face from many of our feeds is urging others in San Francisco and elsewhere to be super cautious, and while he is going through hard times reliving the incident, he is still okay with receiving support.

HRC: Gus Kenworthy received the HRC Visibility Award last week, giving the following sweet, tearful speech ...

Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin, a Republican, has signed SB 17 into law, which will allow student groups at high schools and colleges to discriminate against LGBTQ people.

Via the Human Rights Campaign:

“Governor Bevin’s shameful decision to sign this discriminatory bill into law jeopardizes non-discrimination policies at public high schools, colleges, and universities,” said HRC Legal Director Sarah Warbelow. “No student should fear being excluded from a school club or participating in a school activity because they are LGBTQ. While of course private groups should have the freedom to express religious viewpoints, they should not be able to unfairly discriminate with taxpayer funds.”

SCOTUS has upheld previous policies mandating that groups take all comers.

Chad Griffin of the Human Rights Campaign has posted an open letter rescinding the LGBTQ org's baffling-to-begin-with endorsement of Republican Sen. Mark Kirk, who is battling amazing progressive Tammy Duckworth in Illinois.

Kirk took a blunt, vicious racist jab at Duckworth in their debate this week, then briefly apologized on Twitter, but Griffin used the lackluster apology as an excuse to dump Kirk, something HRC had been urged to do from the moment they endorsed him.

Good lord: video of Kirk's racist comment to Tammy Duckworth even worst than the transcript. pic.twitter.com/ETLc6X11TK

It's hard to know who's more non compos mentis—Kirk or HRC.

Griffin wrote:

Leadership is about more than the legislation one sponsors and the votes one casts. On Thursday night, Senator Kirk’s comments about his opponent’s heritage were deeply offensive and racist. His attempt to use Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth’s race as a means to undermine her family’s American heritage and patriotism is beyond reprehensible. Yesterday, Senator Kirk tweeted an apology that failed to adequately address the real harm and magnitude of his words. So today, following a vote by our board’s committee, the Human Rights Campaign withdrew our support of Senator Kirk.

HRC is still dead to me, unfortunately. Time and again, it endorses fucking Republicans over Democrats—that is unacceptable. Why settle for enemies when we can have friends?

I can not defend HRC—they're sticking by racist right-wing tool Sen. Mark Kirk.
