When Jacob Rudolph received the award for “class actor” at his high school, the New Jersey teenager took the opportunity to make a real-life announcement. “I’ve been acting every single day of my life,” he said. “You see me acting the part of ‘straight’ Jacob, when I am in fact LGBT.”

…

The other day when being interviewed by Anderson Cooper Jacob received the surprise of his life.

Oh My! Thank you Anderson Cooper and George Takei!

Takei is just about the greatest thing to ever happen to gay kids, and a personal hero. He’s just so utterly cool.

Did anyone ever think even 10 years ago that Sulu would be a role model? Of all the Star Trek cast, George Takei would be the most prominent?

How kewl is that?

Everyone in Star Trek is a role model.

Everyone in Star Trek is a role model.

Except Shatner, who is a poster-child for no self-awareness, though Kirk was a role model.

Old Trek is pretty great if you consider the time it was made. Every fan should check out the 1080p transfers of the series to see Roddenberry’s vision in its full glory. Their use of early-color-television thrills me.

I have a weakness for Shatner. In any case I think striving for Star Trek like morals (and many of the actors of the show came to realize this) makes us better people.

Virginia Republicans Aren’t Flocking to Anti-Gay Lieutenant Governor Hopeful
WASHINGTON -- The Republican candidate for Virginia's Lieutenant Governor, Rev. E.W. Jackson, is getting a decidedly cool response from his state's Republican establishment in Washington, who weren't eager to associate themselves with the conservative firebrand's history of anti-gay and anti-abortion statements. Republicans have largely, and happily, lined up behind Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, the GOP's candidate for governor. But Jackson's surprise win at ...

Fisheries Could Be in Hot Water Due to Climate Change
As our planet warms from excess carbon in the atmosphere, some of that heat is absorbed by the ocean.

"Eventually" may be now. Ocean warming has ...
