UR Lesbian: LGBT Files Volume 16 Chick-Fil-Gay

With all of the recent debate surrounding Chick-Fil-A and Boston's Mayor Thomas Menino's stance on the issue, the one thing I really can say at this point is that deciding who to put my trust into as an LGBT community member is becoming harder and harder. Human rights are not open to debate. LGBT rights should not be a popularity contest, but I fear that it is exactly what this issue is becoming.

UR Lesbian LGBT Files: Vol 15 Relationships

Whether you're gay, straight, bi, trans, black, white, or purple, one thing most people can agree on is that relationships of all kinds are not always easy.

Last week's LGBT Files article was about gay friendly travel in the U.S. and around the world. This week, we're taking it back home to Massachusetts to examine some of the gay culture here in Boston's media scene.

First, a brief look at Boston's gay marriage history:

On May 17th, 2004, just over 8 years ago, Massachusetts became the first state to legalize same sex marriage. This would then make us the 6th jurisdiction world wide to incorporate same sex marriage laws into legislation, along with Belgium, Quebec, the Netherlands, Ontario, and British Colombia at the time. Since 2004 the list has grown to include 8 other countries and 5 more U.S. states: Spain (2005), Canada (2005), South Africa (2006), Norway (2009), Sweden (2009), Portugal (2010), Iceland (2010), & Argentina (2010) along with U.S. StatesConnecticut (2008), Iowa (2009), Vermont (2009),  New Hampshire (2010) , and New York (2011).
