Miraculously, marriage equality comes to my former state of Maryland...at midnight tonight

I never thought I would see this happen in my lifetime. I went to college at University of Maryland and my family lived there for 15 years, so I am especially proud to see my former home state lead on the civil rights issue of today.  Same-sex couples there will begin marrying tonight. Yay!

Two Russian soccer players cuddle up on their vacation. A bromance or lovers? You be the judge...

I find it hard to believe that two top Russian soccer players would come out given that country's  widespread homophobia and draconian anti-gay laws. But that is what several gay blogs are reporting. There are few professional male athletes from team sports that are openly gay, making the locker room the "last closet" in many ways.

Regardless of the context, these two seem to enjoy one another.
