It’s a big day for trans folks as the International Olympic Committee met with the research scientists at Anacin and they’ve decided to allow for nuance with sexually ambiguous athletes and to treat their gender variance as a medical issue and not one of fairness in competition.

Move over Thomas Beatie, the bears having babies! Trans man Scott Moore announces he’s pregnant! (Check out a web cam of a recent live bear birth- the animal bear, not the man)

Meanwhile, San Antonio native Ruben Valerio may be blind but that doesn’t stop him from putting on a show as drag queen Alexis Nicole Whitney from the House of Whitney.

Hot news:

Apple is rumored to announce today a new tablet computer, new iPhones and a new version of their iLife software suite that may revolutionize the publishing industry. Will gay newspapers take advantage of the new platform or simply ignore it like the rest of new media?

Lukewarm anti-gay testimonies at the Proposition 8 trial.

Pope tells priests to go forth and blog.

And our review of the touring production of Dreamgirls, now in Chicago, plus backstage gossip!

It’s perhaps a bit of unfortunate forshadowing that the US Supreme Court split along ideological lines and voted down U.S. District Judge Vaughn R. Walker’s plan to stream live video from the trial on YouTube.

Do you think this is taste of how the high court will vote if Prop 8 goes before it? Looks like we may soon find out.

Marc Felion, Andy Thayer and Fausto Fernós

For over 25 years, Andy Thayer has fought tirelessly for gay rights, including Marriage Equality, the Stop Dr. Laura campaign and anti-police brutality against gays. He recently was arrested at the 4th annual Gay Pride in Moscow which coincided with the popular Eurovision contest and spent the night in a Russian prison.

Earlier this week the California Supreme Court upheld Proposition 8, the Referendum from the 2008 election that took away the right for same sex people to marry. At the same time, the judges upheld the same sex marriages performed before the referendum. What’s going on here?

Listen as we talk with Andy about the big political changes coming to this country and what it means for you. Where do we go from here?

Is fighting for gay marriage a cash cow?

Why did Obama announce Sotomayor’s nomination on the Day of Decision?

And why you should get involved in fighting for equality in this country.
