Bad and not-that-bad stuff happening with homophobes in the UK, Toronto, Ohio, Michigan and New Zealand. Also some good news, silver lining, heartwarming things and a Daily Show clip!

The image of Tel Aviv as a liberal gay haven was shattered last year when a gunman injured 15 and killed two youths at an LGBT community center a few months before I was headed there for a study abroad program. On the one-year anniversary of the shooting, LGBTQ Israelis are marching from Jerusalem to Knesset in The March for Equality. Although I was not there today, I also have feelings on this.
