Tomorrow The Daily Beast in co-operation with GLAAD and other leading LGBT advocate groups and organizations will host an unprecedented gathering entitled "Quorum: Global LGBT Voices".

The ban, known as Amendment One, would not only deny same-sex couples marriage, but would strip all unmarried couples of many legal protections, such as those afforded by domestic partnerships and civil unions.
Student athletes are stepping up to the plate, so to speak, to take a stand for LGBT equality. Recently, Whitman College in Walla Walla, Wash., became the first Athlete Ally Ambassador School in the Northwest Conference.
