How HBCUs Respond to a Call for Inclusion of LGBT Students
How HBCUs Respond to a Call for Inclusion of LGBT Students
For many who choose to attend an HBCU, the decision is about far more than just academics. Since the first HBCUs opened their doors in the years before the Civil War, they have offered black students an opportunity to pursue advanced studies in a space they can be certain will be supportive, welcoming and inclusive. It’s the very least that every student deserves, really—to be able to work, study and learn as part of a community that accepts them as they are.

Inaugural Poet Richard Blanco Celebrates Marriage Equality in Stunning Tribute Poem: WATCH
Inaugural Poet Richard Blanco Celebrates Marriage Equality in Stunning Tribute Poem: WATCH
To commemorate the first decade of marriage equality in America, Freedom to Marry recently commissioned inagural poet Ricahrd Blanco to write Until We Could – which was then brought to life in a beautiful video narrated by actors Ben Foster and Robin Wright.
The Daily Beast reports:
The poem and video was the initial brainchild of Peter Spears an actor, director, and producer — and FTM volunteer — whose had the idea to approach Blanco. “We shot it in Austin’s film community, and Texas is on the precipice of marriage equality,” says Spears. “There are real couples in the film — like the male couples in their forties with kids — and also actors. Austin was off the charts, they put all their talent and time into making this happen.”

Blanco, who read his poem One Today at President Barack Obama’s second inauguration, is the first immigrant, first Latino, first openly gay and youngest person to be an inaugural poet.

Andrew W.K. Sings 'Sissy That Walk' With RuPaul
Andrew W.K. Sings 'Sissy That Walk' With RuPaul
Apparently we’re not the only ones who love RuPaul!
The Supermodel of The World stopped by TakePart Live last week while classically trained rock star Andrew W.K. co-hosted, and the singer is apparently a big fan of RuPaul’s music. A one point during the segment Andrew W.K. begins singing the intro of Ru’s hit “Sissy That Walk,” with Ru chiming in towards the end.
Andrew W.K. is a vocal supporter of gay rights. Last year he tweeted out, “If you don’t believe in gay marriage, then don’t marry a gay person. Otherwise, just keep partying and let everyone else keep partying too.” His wife is also Cherrie Lily, an icon within the queer community who just released a video with Cazwell.

See The Super Gay Penis Doodle Uncovered In Leonardo Da Vinci’s Notebook
Besides the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper and the Vitruvian Man, it seems we also have Leonardo da Vinci to thank for this penis doodle.
Yes, the same genius who is credited as the archetype of the “Renaissance man” also seems to have had a thing for the men of the Renaissance.
Here’s the drawing that was uncovered in Leonardos’s notebook, which was actually drawn by his apprentice Salai (who was very likely also his lover):
The drawing shows two crudely drawn penises marching towards a mysterious hole. The hole, consequently, is labeled “Salai.” So either he picked an interesting place to sign his masterpiece, or there is much to be read from this historic piece of art.
If you have kids and ever find questionable doodles among their schoolwork, rest assured that some of history’s greatest minds operated the same way.
Leonardo’s drawing of Salai.
Here’s some background on Leonardo’s sexuality from author and historian Ross King’s Leonardo and the Last Supper:
According to Lomazzo’s account, Leonardo’s passion for the beautiful Salai therefore reached its peak at about the time work began on The Last Supper in Santa Maria delle Grazie.
In the fifteenth century, Florentines were so well-known for homosexuality that the German word for sodomite was Florenzer. By 1415 the sexual behavior of young Florentine men had caused the city fathers such concern that “desiring to eliminate a worse evil by means of a lesser one” they licensed two more public brothels to go with the one they had opened with similar aspirations a dozen years earlier.When these establishments failed to produce the desired results, and still “desiring to extirpate that vice of Sodom and Gomorrah, so contrary to nature,” the city fathers took further action. In 1432, a special authority, the Ufficiali di Notte e Conservatori dei Monasteri, or Officers of the Night and Preservers of Morality in the Monasteries, was formed to catch and prosecute sodomites. Over the next seven decades, more than ten thousand men were apprehended by this night watch.
According to Vasari, Salai was “a very attractive youth of unusual grace and looks, with very beautiful hair which he wore curled in ringlets and which delighted his master.” Giacomo seems to have served as a model for Leonardo. No definitive image of him exists, but art historians refer to a distinctive face that appears repeatedly in his drawings—that of a beautiful youth with a Greek nose, a mass of curls and a dreamy pout—as a “Salai-type profile.”
Leonardo was almost certainly homosexual by the standards of later centuries. Freud was no doubt correct when he stated that it was doubtful whether Leonardo ever embraced a woman in passion. Two years after the Saltarelli affair, Leonardo wrote a partially legible declaration in his notebook: “Fioravante di Domenico at Florence is my most beloved friend, as though he were my….” A nineteenth-century editor of Leonardo’s writings hopefully filled in “brother,” but the relationship may well have been more intimate.
Here is a video of King discussing the matter more:

Virginia House of Delegates Approves Resolution Hiring Lawyers to Defend State's Gay Marriage Ban
Virginia House of Delegates Approves Resolution Hiring Lawyers to Defend State's Gay Marriage Ban
Republicans in the Virginia House of Delegates passed a resolution Thursday that would authorize the chamber to hire legal counsel to defend the sate’s gay marriage ban.
In January, Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring announced he would not be defending the state’s discriminatory ban in court.
GayRVA reports:
HR 566 started as a move to allow the branch to hire a lawyer to “represent the House of Delegates to halt any attempt by the Governor to expand the Medicaid program without the explicit approval of the General Assembly.”
But in language added in a reprinting of the bill today, a clause was added which would allow the republican dominated house to hire private council to defend the state’s ban on same-sex marriage.
Specifically, it would allow the Speaker of the House, William J. Howell R-53 to hire counsel to represent the legislative body in state courts and gain the power to remove the AG for his “improper role in challenging Virginia’s marriage laws.”
The employed counsel would then be able to “represent the position of the Commonwealth in pending litigation involving the challenge to the constitutionality of Virginia’s marriage laws”
Responded Herring’s Director of Communication Michael Kelly:
“Every court that has reviewed Virginia’s marriage ban has agreed with Attorney General Herring’s analysis and the author of Virginia’s modern constitution has said the Attorney General acted within his authority and duty. This is just an anti-equality measure wrapped up in the guise of the law.”
