Long-running LGBT group blog The Bilerico Project has called it quits after eleven years. Founder Bil Browning writes: Projects are meant to be temporary and so was Bilerico Project.

Two days ago Bilerico posted a report that GOProud was closing down to “rebrand” under a new name. That claim spawned furious denials from various GOProud members on social media.

A reminder for this Saturday: After going back and forth with Twitter, Facebook, and meatspace pals, the consensus is that JR’s Houston will be the best spot for next Saturday’s meet-up.

“Over 18 years, as executive director of a local, a statewide and a national organization, I saw firsthand how HRC had a tendency to undermine movement unity.

And he wants your help. I specifically want to learn more about the alleged blowjob one of our married legislative leaders got caught receiving from a staffer in the Statehouse parking …

Apple has allowed the launch of a new app that “hilariously” inserts a “tranny” into photos, ostensibly for the purpose of shaming your friends. Bil Browning reacts at Bilerico: Not only is the whole premise offensive – especially the name – but Apple is notorious for being prudish about the apps it approves for sale in its App Store. This …

Over at Mediaite, Michael Triplett has posted an interesting look into the editorial decisions of (mostly male) gay bloggers, who must carefully tread the line between hard news LGBT activism and the desire of some of their readers to see the occasional bit of beefcake.

“If I hear one more HIV+ man tell me he’s “grateful” for the disease because it made him a more peaceful, loving, open, honest person I’m going to scream. Those afflicted by disease –whether it’s cancer or HIV– have taken a pernicious slide toward rationalizing their conditions as something “necessary” for them to achieve some kind of enlightenment. And we …

“All of the focus on television ads, both in Maine and California, misses a huge point, namely, that advertising rarely moves more than a tiny fraction of people to change their minds on any candidate, subject or product that people feel they know well. And if there’s one issue that everyone thinks they know about, it’s marriage. Yet, somehow, people …

“Dear Cleve, We don’t really know each other, but I’ve always respected your work, especially as a leader working on HIV and AIDS issues. And I know that hundreds of thousands of LGBT people still look up to you, especially since your early days of activism have been immortalized on the big screen. But over the past year, I’ve become …
