Nearly 1,000 kids flee their homes each year in the Pikes Peak region by Pam Zubeck When Shawna Kemppainen started working with homeless kids a few years ago, she was met with this statistic: Five thousand homeless young people die on American streets each year from illness, suicide or assault. “This is one of those pieces of data that when I started this job, stopped me in my tracks,” she says …

Aetna appeals to gay community
Aetna is urging gay customers to “be proud” — and consider buying its coverage — as part of a new, narrow focus to selling health insurance in a business where the individual’s buying decision matters more than it used to.

Springfield, Missouri Voters Repeal LGBT Non-Discrimination Ordinance
Springfield, Missouri Voters Repeal LGBT Non-Discrimination Ordinance
Voters in Springfield, Missouri today repealed protections for LGBT citizens which were added by the City Council to the city’s non-discrimination ordinance last October, KY3 reports:
With all the votes tallied, about 51.4 percent of the voters on Tuesday said they wanted to repeal the City Council’s action, while 48.6 percent wanted to retain it. The raw numbers are 15,347 people voted “yes” to repeal the anti-discrimination ordinance and 14,493 people voted “no” to keep it on the books.
For a brief time on Tuesday night, when about 60 percent of the precincts were counted, the “no repeal” votes had a slim lead over the “yes, repeal” votes. As more precincts were counted, however, the “yes” votes went back on top.
KY3 adds:
The “yes, repeal” supporters said the amendment means transgender women (men who feel like women or are transitioning to women) have permission to use restrooms of women and girls. They also said it would have violated the rights of conservative Christians who oppose the lifestyles of gay men and lesbian women, and don’t want to serve them in their businesses.

Billy Eichner wants you to stop asking him the same question over and over so he answered it once and for all.
John Travolta may figure very prominently in Going Clear, the Scientology exposé that recently aired on HBO, but he hasn’t watched it and doesn’t plan to. He also predicts that the “religion’s” other most-famous disciple, Tom Cruise, won’t either.
The man who created the Lucille Ball sculpture has seen the error of his ways, apologized and plans to amend the great wrong he did the late comedy legend.

Empire's Cookie Lyon Meets Han Solo, as Imagined by Sean Hayes and His Husband: VIDEO
We’re pretty sure this is not the upcoming trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. We’re also pretty sure that Empire’s Cookie Lyon would never cross paths with Han Solo, except perhaps in The ‘Empire’ Strikes Back.
Except of course, in Sean Hayes’s imagination. Are he and his husband Scott trying to edge George and Brad Takei out of the competition in the married gay web series space? Perhaps we’ll see a collaboration in the near future.
Watch, AFTER THE JUMP…
And then this happened.
