GAY ISSUES
Fantastic news in Delaware where the state senate has approved a same-sex marriage bill, making it the 11th state in the nation (+ D.C.) to legalize gay marriage. Buzzfeed sat down with Senator Rob Portman yesterday and spent a great deal of time discussing marriage equality and other gay rights issues. Tennis great Martina Navratilova appeared on MSNBC over the weekend and discussed how Jason Collins' coming out will impact LGBT youth. And the captain of the Texas A&M swim team (and a member of the Tongan Olympic Team) has announced that he is gay and says that his school is not homophobic.
