The actor allegedly made violently homophobic comments towards him at a party.
Last week Lady Gaga joined Maine’s rally to send a message to the state’s two moderate Republican senators, Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe, asking them to repeal "don’t ask, don’t tell" (DADT), a critical vote in Congress. But, to no one’s surprise, Senate Republicans quashed it. Democrats needed only 60 votes to overcome a filibuster; the vote, however, was 56 to 43. The action President Obama should take is to issue an executive order on behalf of LGBTQ service members.
Soon after Obama’s inauguration in 2009, the LGBTQ community waited anxiously to hear that steps were being made to repeal DADT. But on June 8 of that year when the Supreme Court refused to review the Pentagon policy that prohibits LGBTQ servicemembers to serve openly in the military, Obama’s people added salt to the wounds of our LGBTQ servicemembers by stating in court papers that the ruling on DADT was correct because of the military’s legitimate concern of LGBTQ servicemembers endangering “unit cohesion”— a concept totally debunked by a 2002 study.

As NoMoreDownLow.TV caught black celebrities commenting on the Trayvon Martin tragedy and hundreds of LGBT activists took to wearing hoodies in a show of solidarity, an unprecedented coalition of 23 of the largest national lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights organizations issued a joint open letter today about the Feb. 26 killing of the 17-year-old Florida teen — for which no arrests have been made — calling his death a "national call to action" and demanding that justice be served. The complete letter is below:
I was among those who took to Twitter Saturday night to voice my feelings when the verdict came in on the trial of George Zimmerman. Shocked, stunned, angry, sad. Pick an adjective and it likely applied to the whirlwind of emotions swirling in me and all over Twitter among those who supported Trayvon Martin’s family.
