“I Want To Know What It’s Like” is an emotional tribute to LGBTQ community in poetic, video form. In promotion with “Second Class Citizens” (a forthcoming documentary — also by director Ryan James Yezak — that covers discrimination in the LGBTQ community when it comes to marriage, adoption and other legal issues), the video captures [...]
Let’s face it: The sports world can be tough for the LGBTQ community, and that’s why Hudson Taylor (sorry, (gay) guys, he’s straight!) founded Athlete Ally. The organization was inspired by Taylor’s own high school experience where humor in the locker room went too far — often offending if not bullying the LGBTQ community. His [...]
Guys, we can’t tell you how much we adore a sweet proposal (straight or gay), but this video of Danny Rose proposing to his boyfriend via pop music and dancing pretty much steals our hearts. What kind of reminds us of Bollywood, the “music video” scenes takes your standard approach — night clubs, dance floors [...]
Fiona Apple may have a new album dropping soon (which we are properly freaking out about), but she’s making bigger noise when she wrote a HAND WRITTEN LETTER (that seems to be a bigger deal these days — more so than emails, right?) to a gay teen named Bill. The teen (at the time, now [...]
You woofed, um, asked for it… and we listed: Welcome to our new Pet section! Let’s face it: We know how important pets are to your life, and we also know how many of you adore spoiling them (hey, we’re just as guilty). So, we couldn’t think of a better way to launch the new [...]
Creator of the film “Boys Will Be Boys,” Chuck Beatty, realized Ohio was missing something: An LGBT independent film festival. So (like any passionate Everyday Gay), Beatty set sights on starting the project, and he made it happen! Welcome to CNKY Scene Film Festival, Cincinnati’s first official LGBT Film Festival! Here’s their mission statement: “CNKY [...]
We’re already HUGE fans of Single Dad Laughing blog (AKA Dan Pearce), but his recent post “I’m Christian, Unless You’re Gay” not only inspired us, it inspired a gay teen Jacob to come out to his very conservative parents. Brace yourselves: it’s an emotional story. We’ll leave the details to SDL’s blog, but the kid [...]
Celebrating our 1-year Birthday all week long has been pretty darn great. Not just because it was fun to relive some of our favorite posts/moments/interviews, but also because it gave us time to reflect on what we’re really accomplishing. I don’t think you guys (our readers) know what you’re really doing when you support and [...]
Being a parent is THE ultimate (and most admirable) job that we can think of doing. It’s also the most challenging and especially when things don’t go quite as planned. For Leslie Lagerstrom having her daughter was one of the greatest moments of her life, but something was different, though — she soon learned that [...]
Remember when asking out some dude/girl to prom/dance was like, THE MOST TERRIFYING MOMENT of your life — oh, kids these days. Apparently, nerves are just a generational thing, proven by Hannah, a high school student who wasn’t shy about asking her date Alexis to prom. Actually, “shy” is the wrongest word we can think [...]
If you haven’t heard Fun. yet (we’d actually be shocked!), then check out some of their fantastic hits like “We Are Young” and “Some Nights Intro“… and then come back to us. (We’ll wait because we know you’ll fall in love with their Queen-meets-The Killers sounds. Are we right?) And if you’re still on the [...]
Okay, so call us hopeless romantics. But you have to admit, there’s something unbelievably uplifting watching everyday gay people confessing their love publicly — there’s especially a sense of bravery. So, of course, we fell in love with the video of a gay man asking his partner to marry him via signs on a busy [...]
Be proud, but not so loud with these green AND gay friendly tongue-and-cheek totes this Earth Day (April 22). Everyday Gays just don’t use plastic bags anymore, guys. (Side note: If you don’t love the Anderson Cooper/Rachel Maddow totes, you pretty much don’t love anything. Can we get a Neil Patrick Harris order in the [...]
You may remember Zach Wahls from a video that went just a little viral back in 2011 when he gave a speech to Iowa House Judiciary Commity and defended being raised by two lesbian moms in support of gay marriage. The YouTube video hit over two million views and inspired his new book, My Two [...]
The Everyday Gay fully supports time travel, and that’s why we fully support the “Dear 40-Year-Old Me” video from Illinois Safe Schools Alliance. Okay, technically, there’s no time-continuum, worm hole surfing going on here, but these incredibly brave LGTBQS kids’ video letters to their 40-year-old selves definitely has us looking forward the future. The clip [...]
First the Australians had us teary-eyed with their same-sex marriage proposal video and now the British are invading our hearts with their latest advertisement to end marriage discrimination from the Coalition For Equal Marriage. The “Homecoming” clip catches soldiers reuniting with their loved ones. Emotional moments capture most men getting hugged by their wives/girlfriends, but [...]
There are a whole lot of LGTBQ-unfriendly joints in the world (i.e. Urban Outfitters, Chick-fil-A), wouldn’t it be really great if someone created a Yelp-like site (to rate, map, and sort places) that was designated for gay restaurants, bars, shopping and more? Dreams come true, guys, because Rainbow Chronicle is exactly that – a user-generated [...]
If you weren’t already swooning over Jason Mraz’s guitar skills, we’re pretty sure a quick listen to his tune “I Won’t Give Up” (from his new Love Is A Four Letter Word album) will win you over. The song was inspired by his full support for gay equality/marriage. Nope, he’s not gay — just a [...]
We’re not going to lie: This video had our eyes watering at the immediate sound of violins and the stunning pictures put together by Shane Crone in his “It Could Happen To You.” The clip captures a beautiful relationship between Crone and his partner Tom Bridegroom, but makes a terrible turn when we soon learn [...]

Sure, celebrating same-sex representation in mainstream advertising campaigns seems a little silly — but it’s the small battles that we all should celebrate. Just recently GAP unveiled it’s latest boy-on-boy banner to the public and now sunglasses gurus Ray-Ban show their gay-friendly pride in the new “Never Hide” campaign. The company celebrates it’s 75th birthday [...]
If the heartbreaking “It Could Happen To You” video didn’t get you thinking about gay marriage and the importance of taking a legal stance, then we’re pretty sure “Freedom To Serve, Freedom To Marry” will have you up in arms (and sobbing). The video tale tells a story of a lesbian couple (Monica and Naomi) [...]

We thought we’d send you off to your weekend on one of the sweetest videos we’ve seen in a while. Sure, Mother’s Day was last weekend (really, shouldn’t it be mom day every day?) — but we just couldn’t stop smiling after watching a little guy put on an apron and whip up BOTH his [...]

One of our favorite essays written by the phenomenal Deb Lewis captures the struggle of becoming a parent. We salute our LGBT parents on Mother’s Day — you all are our heroes. Follow The Everyday Gay on Facebook and Twitter! I said up front, before Mollie was even born, that I wasn’t parent material. Were [...]

With Mother’s Day in two days (please tell us you already have your mom’s gift picked out?), we want to celebrate our lesbian moms with a few “mom-supportive” sites along with a gigantic thank you. Not only is being a mother one hell of a job on it’s own, being a gay mom has it’s [...]
