Thousands gathered in central Istanbul on Sunday for the city's 12th LGBT Pride march, the biggest gathering of its kind in the Islamic world.

Yesterday, Representative Jackie Speier (D-CA) introduced the Military Separation Pay Fairness Act. This legislation would provide the separation pay that was denied to servicemembers who were discharged under the military's discriminatory Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT) policy.

A new organization for LGBT members of the military and their families is spreading a message of inclusion and acceptance throughout all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces — starting from Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, Calif.
