On the cusp of her 50th birthday, writer and mother of three Joy Cipoletti made the agonizing decision to leave her husband and start her life anew.

Like to munch on those gummy bears or jelly beans or candy corn as you spruce up your Halloween costume? Well, for every handful of what you think might be good, clean fun or a childhood sense memory, you’re putting money into the pocket of one of the men who’s trying to take away the rights of trans and non-gender-conforming expressive students.
These are kids like 12-year-old Jazz, who wanted to play on the girls’ soccer team at school, and 6-year-old Coy Mathis, whose family fought back after the school said she was not allowed to use the girls’ bathroom. For their courage—and that of their families—the two trans girls (pictured above) were honored by GLAAD at the organization's 24th Media Awards gala in New York City last March.

WASHINGTON -- FedEx and other corporations with gay-friendly policies have partnered with an anti-gay evangelical organization as part of a lobbying effort around energy policy, according to tax documents.
FedEx President and CEO Fred Smith is a leader of the Securing America's Future Energy (SAFE) Foundation, which works to advance energy policy that favors electric vehicles and increased domestic energy production. Since 2010, the group, which National Journal has called a "major player," has been working with the conservative evangelical organization American Values, founded by former Family Research Council head Gary Bauer, a leading anti-marriage equality activist.
Tax documents show that in 2011, the most recent for which documents are available, American Values was SAFE's only grant recipient, getting $60,000. SAFE paid Bauer's group $55,000 the prior year, when American Values was one of two grant recipients (the other was the Electrification Coalition).
Brian Camenker, President of right-wing organization MassResistance, sat down with Mission America’s Linda Harvey last weekend to discuss a recent article he published regarding athletes and gay rights activism in Russia.
The "exclusive" report claims that "homosexual activists in the U.S. are working with media groups, 'out LGBT athletes' and both the U.S. and Canadian Olympic hockey teams in a secret plan to smuggle rainbow flags, homosexual propaganda, etc. into Russia."
And Camenker is not having it.

WASHINGTON — With rebel forces in Syria in retreat and the Obama administration’s policy toward the war-ravaged country in disarray, Secretary of State John Kerry arrived at the White House Situation Room one day in June with a document bearing a warning. President Bashar al-Assad of Syria had used chemical weapons against his people, the document said, and if the United States did not “impose consequences,” Mr. Assad would see it as a “green light for continued CW use.”

"Hunger Games" and "Catching Fire" star Willow Shields looks gorgeous in powder blue and bright pink, though our favorite detail might be her red and black nails, which feel very Girl on Fire-inspired. Can you believe she's only 13-years-old?
