Think same-sex marriage is a done deal? Think again.

Pop star Troye Sivan gets political.  No Images? Click here     In the LGBTQ community Anyone who thinks that same-sex marriage is “settled law” is, quite sadly, mistaken. The anti-marriage equality movement, which is driven by religious conservatives, is once again gaining steam under President Donald Trump. And make no mistake: it could very well succeed.  Trump's Feb. 16 press conference was essentially an unwieldy barrage of attacks on the media that lasted for 77 grueling minutes. Though his administration appears to be in crisis, the president defended his chaotic first month, claiming he had “inherited a mess” from President Barack Obama and that the White House “is running like a fine-tuned machine.” LGBTQ groups are among those urging the Senate to reject Trump's Supreme Court pick. Judge Neil Gorsuch, they say, “lacks the impartiality and independence the American people expect and deserve.”   Acts of Hate Restaurant co-owner: I was beaten because I’m gay, and I blame Trump.  Take Action Contact your local representative by chatting with our Facebook Messenger bot here.   Acts of Love   On Valentine's Day, New Yorkers woke up to a startling image of a naked Vladimir Putin fondling a pregnant Trump. The mural was projected onto buildings in Manhattan on Tuesday night, and it's not easy to unsee.  Troye Sivan won't change his unabashedly queer tune for Trump. The pop star, who is known for his LGBTQ-inclusive videos and performances, says he's very concerned about the fight for equality moving forward. Still, he has "faith" that the LGBTQ community "can survive this."  If the 2016 election taught this gay hunter anything, it's to stop hiding who he truly is. "For too long, I took advantage of the privilege that comes with pretending to be a straight man," Luke Zoesch, who hails from Wisconsin, says. "I want to help others be their authentic self. That could not fully happen until I became mine."
