A group of University of Georgia students held a mock lesbian wedding this evening alongside a mock heterosexual wedding downtown at the Arch. This was done in an effort to normalize same-sex unions and to hopefully garner some publicity.
While the rain did come just as the group was getting ready to make their presentation, the [...]

Lithuania has enacted a law that will withhold information about sexual orientation from all minors. Essentially, the Lithuanian government is taking the stance that if we don’t educate our children about variations in sexual orientation, those variations will no longer exist. Such policies only further alienate minority groups and perpetuate the ideology that it’s OK [...]

In 2003, the Episcopal Church consecrated its first openly gay bishop, V. Gene Robinson. That move had the church split decisively.
In 2006, the same governing body made efforts to calm the waters by asking dioceses to restrain from considering gay and lesbians as potential bishops. Since then, no other openly gay person has been chosen.
On [...]

I was closeted until about a year ago. Coming out was not easy for me. But it was worth it, and I’d never go back.
I dated girls in high school, and actually made some swell friends from those relationships. I used to talk smack with the guys about “getting chicks.” I was always friends with [...]

When I was asked to create a short article for GayInAthens.com, I wasn’t quite sure where to begin. I was asked to provide insight to the city from a girl’s perspective. Specifically, a girl who likes girls. I thought about writing about local haunts and events in town where there is a “family friendly” vibe, [...]

There are all types of gay men, and over the years we have compartmentalized ourselves into different groups. These labels have been a part of the scene, have helped groups organize, and have played roles in the sexual culture of the gay world.
While a large group of gay men choose to identify as one of [...]

Mennonites are much like the Amish. If you’ve ever been through Lancaster County in Pennsylvania, you know what I’m talking about. Horse-drawn buggies trot bristly down the country roads. Clothes are hung to dry one day during the week. Children play not with video games and computers, but with each other in the beautiful outdoors.
