Google highlights 'It Gets Better' project in Chrome commercial
by Ryan Watkins   
May 04, 2011 12:46

Google Chrome logoDuring last night's Fleetwood Mac-themed episode of “Glee,” Google ran a moving commercial highlighting the “It Gets Better” project to promote its Chrome internet browser.

Advertising space during one of television's most watched shows is quite valuable, and Google spared no expense with its one and a half minute spot.

The commercial featured videos from Lady Gaga, Adam Lambert, Anne Hathaway and others while showing off how Google's browser integrates the modern social web (and Google's family of products).

The Mountain View, California-based company has been on the cutting edge of workplace equality and has consistently maintained a perfect score from the Human Rights Campaign in its annual Corporate Equality Index.

Gay blog Queerty returns after short hiatus
by Ryan Watkins   
May 04, 2011 09:51

Call it a break. Call it time apart. Whatever you want to call it, gay blog Queerty is back.

The popular gay blog that used snarky commentary and featured plenty of mostly naked boys, announced back in April that it was shutting down. Yes, it's really back. Go check it out. I'll wait.

The site's owner, David Hauslaib, sold Queerty to GayCities, an LGBT resource company based in San Francisco, according to an article on the site. GayCities says that many of the original staff, as well as some new faces, including my former co-worker Dan Renzi, are hopping onboard the new incarnation.

Reaction to the initial shuttering was far from mixed. Most of our readers and commenters online felt that Queerty regularly crossed the line in their coverage of closeted celebrities and the tone of the content was unnecessarily “snarky.”

The Glitter Biscuits at the Swiftwater Women's Music Festival

It was a perfectly beautiful weekend for the Sixth Annual Swiftwater Women's Music Festival in Dahlonega, Georgia. The event was well attended, but not crowded. There were around fifty women in attendance Friday night, the first night of the festival.

It was a great setting for camping, with a mess tent that served cooked-to-order food.

On Friday night, the Glitter Biscuits (top photo) took the stage and played an amazing set, followed by the Opposite Life, the duo comprised of Hollin Gammage and Arrie Bozeman with Jaen Black on drums.

McDowell controversy reminiscent of past Atlanta Braves anti-gay fouls
by Dyana Bagby   
April 29, 2011 16:09

Former Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz once compared homosexuality to beastialityThe news of Atlanta Braves pitching coach Roger McDowell being put on administrative leave over alleged anti-gay slurs hurled at San Francisco Giants fans last weekend is just one of several incidents the team has had to answer for with LGBT fans.

McDowell was put on administrative leave today after allegedly shouting at several San Francisco Giants fans, "Are you a homo couple or a threesome?" and then imitating a sex act with a baseball bat. The coach also allegedly threatened the father of twin daughters who said he witnessed the incident and asked the coach to watch his language in front of children.

In 1999, former Braves relief pitcher John Rocker was quoted in a 1999 Sports Illustrated profile of him saying why he would never play in New York.
