Friday Links, Pride 2014 Edition!

It's Friday! The last Friday in June! Tomorrow is the 45th Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, generally accepted as the start of the modern gay rights movement. That means that tomorrow is the 44th Anniversary of the first ever Gay Pride March! Happy Pride!

In case you have managed to get to this blog without knowing this, I'm a gay man, married to a gay man, so this is basically our High Holy Days. Pardon us if we take to heart the words of Miss Coco Peru: "...live a life that's out, proud, and just a little bit ridiculous." So be warned, this week's links are even more rainbow-colored than usual.

Here's a collection of news and other things that struck me as worthy of being shared:
