A Day in LGBT South Florida

A Day in LGBT South Florida | #ILoveGay | Scoop.it

On November 19, 2016 SFGN assigned its photographers to capture one day in the life of South Florida’s LGBT community. We also asked our readers to submit their own photos. Too often in the news we read about the famous, the politicians, or the celebrities. Rarely do we hear about the people that actually make up the LGBT community — from the bartenders, waiters and hairdressers to the retirees and drag queens.

Matt Skallerud's insight:

That’s why this issue celebrates the lives of the everyday LGBT person. These photos are a reminder that the LGBT community is numerous and diverse. We like to relax at the beach, walk our dogs, raise funds for charities, bike ride, shop, work, eat and play. These photos show the normality of being LGBT.  We are the same. All of us. We do the same thing. We live and enjoy the same lives as our straight counterparts. We all have more in common than we do apart. We are a part of each other.

Retiring Judge William Downing’s legacy: shifting the debate on gay marriage

Retiring Judge William Downing’s legacy: shifting the debate on gay marriage | #ILoveGay | Scoop.it
Probably the most prescient and correct decision of Judge William Downing’s career was one that got tossed out by a higher court. An appreciation of King County’s most senior judge, who is retiring this week.
Matt Skallerud's insight:

William Downing, 67, the longest-serving judge currently on the King County Superior Court, is retiring Friday, after 28 years. In 2004, he became the first trial-court judge in the nation to rule that a state Defense of Marriage Act was unconstitutional.

Confessions of a Gay Sports Addict

Confessions of a Gay Sports Addict | #ILoveGay | Scoop.it
Every tale of addiction is supposed to have the hit-bottom moment, so here’s mine: I’m lying in bed at home on a Sunday morning after an enjoyable Saturday night with a young man I’d been dating who had abs that would make True Blood’s Alcide envious. I am watching the men’s Wimbledon final at a low volume so as not to wake the object of my affection. Yet the guy rouses and makes a bid for my attention. Gently rebuffed, he reaches for the remote and flicks the Off button. I’ve never broken up with someone faster.
