Top 10 News Stories of 2012

As far as the news cycle is concerned, 2012 was a banner year for LGBTs. From never-ending coverage of Chick-fil-A’s antigay ways to the president’s endorsement of marriage equality — and the collective conservative conniption that followed — these are the stories that topped our gaydar in 2012.

1. The Clucking Mess of Chick-fil-A

2. Obama Finally Evolves

3. Frank Ocean Makes History

4. Kansas Lawmakers Try To Legalize Discrimination

5. A Dad Teaches World About Parenting Gender-Variant Kids

6. North Carolina Pastors in a Panic

7. The GOP’s Presidential Homophobes

8. Ellen Beats Out One Million Moms to Keep Her Job at JCP

9. Kirk Cameron’s “Unnatural” Bigotry

10. Prop. 8 and DOMA Await Supreme Hearing

In my opinion there were just to many stories this year (good and bad) to choose from. I'm glad it was not me that made the choices for the top 10 this year.

All in all the LGBT community had a great year and with 2013 right around the corner, it is my hope that the best is yet to come.
