- The American Psychological Association stands by its support of same-sex parents, disregarding the flawed study that made the media rounds this week.
- The Senate has finally confirmed Mara Carmen Aponte as U.S. ambassador to El Salvador after long being denied in part because of a pro-gay editorial she once wrote in one of the country’s newspapers.

- A gay man has written a letter to his future son or daughter:
Soon, there will be a new “normal,” where people won’t care about what’s going on outside of their own bedrooms and households. You’ll be in a world where society won’t hold you to some unfounded, unrealistic expectations. You’ll be able to jump in the bed between your other daddy and me and we won’t be scared that you’ll ask which one of us is “the woman.”
Soon, kiddo. I look forward to that day.
