This is the full-page being printed by fourteen different North Carolina newspapers. It should be noted it was paid for by the Billy Grahm Evangelistic Association, which his son currently runs.

Additionally, you’ll noticed they used an older picture of Rev. Graham for the ad, at 93 years-old he doesn’t look quite that good. The miracles of Photoshop!

Learn tons of great LGBT history at the Pop-Up Philadelphia exhibit!

The William Way Community Center and The Pop-Up Museum of Queer History have teamed up to give us Pop-Up Philadelphia, a month long exhibition dedicated to the lesser known aspects of queer history.

The exhibition opened April 21st, and will close May 19th, and will be on the ground floor of The William Way Community Center.

Missy Higgins-Unashamed Desire

Missy Higgins has been a huge favorite of mine for years now…I’ve met her 3 times and she signed my hand once (she looked at me like I was crazy but graciously did it anyway!). She is hugely talented, and that Australian accent gets me every time! She has an album coming out on June 1, and if the rest of it is anything like this video, I’m sure she has new fans coming her way. And, to legitimize posting this here, she is openly bisexual!  :-)
