The news channel followed Susan’s transformation from Steven for nearly two years. This all-access doc follows Susan through hospital procedures, divorce and a challenging job search. I am excited to see what CNN has in store.

The original story had me mad as hell and I am looking forward to seeing if the mainstream CNN has a sensitive take on Susan’s journey. Airs this weekend on CNN. Here’s to Susan Stranton.

• O-K-L-A-H-O-M–WTF. Oklahoma state senator Steve Russell is yet another bigot. Senator Russell offered an bill (which passed 39-6) that basically guts federal hate crimes legislation in his state.

The amendment allows all reports that were obtained during a possible hate crime investigation to be destroyed or kept by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation if the crime did not end in a conviction. Oklahoma would not be required to share investigation files with the federal government.

Mr. Russell’s fear is that the federal government might step in and take the case on and apply “different standards” than the local law enforcement would. He rails against the federal government for “creating a special class of people” and insists that “sexual orientation is a very vague word that could be extended to extremes like necrophilia.”

Will these right wing bigots EVER stop?

• Serves you right. In Philadelphia, Federal Judge Ronald L. Buckwalter ruled that their local Boy Scouts chapter must post a bond to protect the city if it plans to reside on city property rent free.

For two years, the city has been trying to evict the Boy Scouts because they refuse to pay the market rent of the property, $200,000. Why is the city of Philadelphia trying to evict the Boy Scouts?

We all know the answer.

The scouts won’t allow gay members and lawyers for the city have stated that the “delivery of services must be provided regardless of a recipient’s sexual orientation, and the Scouts refuse to bring their use of the building into conformance with city anti-bias codes.”

Finally!

• This one is for the ladies. Oscar winner, Marion Cotillard has added her name to the list of the big name stars who contribute to the website, Funny or Die.

As the title of the video suggests, Forehead Tittaes has the solution for every woman who is sick and tired of men not looking in their eyes when they speak. Its probably NSFW but I had to include it. I love when comedy can call out behavior that is, clearly, inappropriate in such an obvious way.

And I love, love, LOVE that the talented and beautiful Ms. Cotillard stars in what should, definitely, be viral video. I can’t wait for her to receive her next Oscar!

• Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Cherry Bomb! I feel like a teenage girl. Why? Because the film The Runaways is finally opening.

I am such a huge fan of this band, glam, punk, 70s style and girls who rock. The film is based on lead singer Cherie Currie’s book “Neon Angel” and tells the story of the rise and fall of the first all girl rock band to break into the world of arena-filling hard rock acts.

The trailer has the burned out feeling of a 70s movie and stars Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart who plays the incomparable Joan Jett. I am soooo excited. There is NOTHING in this world like a girl band that rips the stage up with aggressive energy. I am going to spend the next week listening to nothing BUT The Runaways just to get in the mood. Rocker girls RULE!

He’s made a name for himself so well that he is not just any blogger. He’s an all-around celebrity.

CNN recently reported on the relationship between Perez Hilton’s sexuality and nationality.

It is no secret that Perez Hilton is gay. But it may be a surprise to some that the controversial blogger is Latino.

The Latino community is often known for being devout Catholics and has had a reputation for being largely homophobic.  So it’s amazing to see a proud Cuban-American who is also a proud gay activist.

CNN reports:

“Hilton is a Latino pioneer. He is one of the first Latino public figures in the U.S. to be openly gay. While Latinos have broken ground on the U.S. Supreme Court, in Hollywood and in professional sports, gay Latinos in the nation’s public arena remain largely invisible.

“Hilton says deep-seated homophobia within the Latino community has forced many gay Latinos to go underground, but attitudes are shifting.”

Gay Latinos aren’t something the MSM usually reports on- although Perez might not be the most attractive candidate for Gay Latino of the Year, it’s great for gay Latinos to have a public face.  Kudos to CNN.

Selena Watkins is a 365gay.com editorial intern

Kevin Lee Miller, 41, didn’t threaten anyone police said; a reporter for WHIO Dayton said he was making people uncomfortable and that people felt “safer” upon his arrest. He was charged with five counts of public indecency and three counts of menacing.

The report, which was picked up by CNN Headline News, seemed to suggest that the man was menacing because he called attention to the fact he was wearing a women’s bathing suit.

Was the reporter biased? See for yourself and let us know what you think in the comments.
