PHOTOS: Good Things Come In Fours
We’ve been seeing a lot or quartets lately — mostly male models — and hey, we don’t hate it. This time around we have four models representing underwear brand Freedom Reigns for the Fall/Winter ’14 photo shoot. While every picture is a stunner with the gorgeous guys and their totally ripped bodies, we decided we wanted to show you that models have fun too. We love that Freedom Reigns didn’t leave these playful photos on the cutting room floor becuase you get to see each of their personalities. Scroll down to see just how mischievous they get.

Exporting Equality With the Pink Dollar
‘Good for business’ has become a rallying cry for LGBT activists, and multinational corporations interested in the bottom line are taking heed. Will money be the vehicle that drives Western-style equality around the globe?

Louisiana Judge's Gay Marriage Ruling is Riddled with Errors
With the Justices of the Supreme Court returning from break at the end of the month, time is running out for states to prepare their marriage equality cases for consideration. Utah, Oklahoma and Virginia are all ready for the Justices to review, and Wisconsin and Indiana aren’t far behind. But even though it’s a long way from being ready for Supreme Court consideration, a strange case in Louisiana has been attracting a lot of attention.
On its face, the Louisiana marriage case seems straightforward enough: as in over 30 other states, the plaintiffs have sued for access to marriage on the grounds of due process and equal protection. What’s unusual in the case is the bizarrely error-filled ruling delivered recently by Judge Martin Feldman.
Among the problems: Feldman refers to homosexuality as “lifestyle choices.” He claims that gay and lesbian couples aren’t entitled to the same protections as interracial couples because the Fourteenth Amendment explicitly mentions race. (It doesn’t.) And he uses the wrong term to describe the standards of review by which discriminatory laws can be judged.
Feldman is the only federal judge to uphold a marriage ban since the Supreme Court overturned DOMA in 2013. In that time, more than twenty other courts have overturned the law. It’s hard to imagine how Feldman’s strange ruling can be allowed to stand, and plaintiffs have already announced their intention to appeal.
