Lgbts show love while homophobes show hate and other Monday midday news briefs

I would venture to say that last weekend was probably one of the most interesting for the lgbt community.

We had two high profile coming outs:

Welcome Out, Don Lemon - African-American CNN Anchor Don Lemon

Welcome Out, Rick Welts - President of the NBA’s Phoenix Suns.

Not to mention the National Organization for Marriage's odious march to "protect marriage" in New York. Although I think the group did more for our cause than theirs with their rhetoric. Posts by Jeremy Hooper from Goodasyou:

Photos from the rally

Presiding pastor says "Those who practice such things are worthy to death"

Preacher says 'breaking traditional marriage' will bring 'judgement and wrath of God'

Sen. Ruben Diaz' wife, Leslie Diaz, calls gays an 'abomination' and bases all opposition in her faith

NOM's Brian Brown gives skewed, wholly religious speech

About that other group with a huge on-site presence, TFP

NOM-financed flyer supporting the event

And in other news:

Early treatment for HIV 'makes virus 96% less infectious' - a good sign.

Is Liberty Law School Teaching Students to Break The Law? - I want to say something about this. You just KNOW that I do. But I will be silent and allow you to read the link.

About Liberty University. Isn't there an overseeing board, or something, that sets certain standards, like, oh, law-abiding behavior? The American Bar Association, or someone? If a counseling student can be expelled for refusing to affirm a gay patient, isn't it frowned upon for a lawyer to advise a client to break the law? It'd be a shame if they lost their accreditation.
