GLAAD Link: Today's Top LGBT News

A gay couple from New Mexico is using the White House’s famed Easter Egg roll to resurrect a hot-button political issue.

Jarrod Scarbrough and Les Sewell will travel from Albuquerque to Washington D.C. with their 8-year-old daughter to ask President Obama to sign an executive order that would prohibit workplace discrimination by any federal contractor on the basis of sexual orientation.

Steve Lippman (aka FLIP) directed Bonnie Raitt’s new video “Right Down the Line” on location at the abandoned New Mission Theater in San Francisco and shot portraits of gay and straight couples in San Francisco’s Noe Valley neighborhood for this beautiful track about love, commitment, and equality. It was shot on Super 8mm and 16 mm film.

Though such factors are not the only cause of homophobia, the findings suggest those "who have a discrepancy within themselves about their expressed vs. unconscious sexual attraction find gay and lesbian people more threatening and are more likely to express prejudice and discrimination toward them," says University of Rochester psychology professor Richard Ryan, co-author of the study, which is published in the April Journalof Personality and Social Psychology. Also an author is Netta Weinstein of the University of Essex, England.
