All Gender Restrooms Signs on sale this week.

Celebrating Facebook's important decision, MyDoorSign put their All Gender Restrooms Signs on sale this week. Share the message with schools, town halls, and restaurants in your area. Just use the code FB4ALL for 10% off the order. 

A restroom should be a safe place for everyone, including those that identify as transgender. Restroom use can be fraught with confusion and, often, intense anxiety. These signs try to reduce this uneasiness, while fitting in the rest of your building’s wayfinding and signage systems. Pick an all-gender or gender neutral restroom sign.

Most Eligible Bachelor from OUT magazine

The results are in for this year’s Most Eligible Bachelor from OUT magazine. We provided a list of 100 of the most dateable gay guys on the planet and asked you to vote. And here are the results. Adam Lambert took the Top Spot as the Most Eligible Bachelor with a landslide of votes from his loyal fans (the No. 1 spot was held by Chris Colfer last year, who is at No. 6 in 2014). We were informed that Chris Salvatore, at No. 2, is actually dating boyfriend Patrick McDonald (check out their adorable Instagram couple shots), so he may not be as available as we had previously supposed.

Actor Darryl Stephens easily took the No. 3 spot due to his stunning good looks and a fair amount of social media lobbying (thanks!). There were several new faces that hooked hearts and minds, including androgynous male model Andrej Pejic (No. 10). For the first time ever, we have a politician in the lineup, Brian Sims at No. 5, with Israeli entrepreneur and party promoter Eliad Cohen, just in front, at No. 4. Surprisingly newly single Ricky Martin was nudged out of the Top 10 (landing at No. 11) and Jonathan Groff split his vote since many people voted for his Looking character, Patrick, rather than the actor himself (sorry for the confusion!). But in our book, all these guys (and many more) are wonderful winners.

OUT’s Most Eligible Bachelors for 2014 are:
  • 1. Adam Lambert (musician/actor)
  • 2. Chris Salvatore (musician/actor)
  • 3. Darryl Stephens (actor)
  • 4. Eliad Cohen (entrepreneur/party promoter)
  • 5. Brian Sims (politician)
  • 6. Chris Colfer (actor)
  • 7. Steve Grand (musician)
  • 8. Christopher Rice (author)
  • 9. Wentworth Miller (actor/screenwriter)
  • 10. Andrej Pejic (model)

Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles (GMCLA) Remembers Friends of Russian LGBT Family in Tribute Video, Footage From 1999

 As Sochi, Russia prepares for the 2014 games, and as the international community remains divided about recently-passed anti-gay laws in that country, members of Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles (GMCLA) continue to stand in solidarity with their Russian friends as they searched their archives and pieced together a video dedication to the LGBT Community.

In October of 1999, GMCLA traveled to Moscow to perform at Tchaikovsky Hall with famed Russian pop star Alla Pugachova. Nearly 2,000 LGBT persons and their allies filled the concert hall to stand together in harmony as one of the largest ever gatherings of LGBTs in the country. The Chorus sang various songs, including "We Shall Overcome," which is featured in the recently rediscovered footage
