It looks like all those purchases of Season 1 of ‘Where The Bears Are’ really helped. Rick, Wood and Nelson will all be back again for Season 2 starting June 2013.
I, personally, am looking forward to more romance between Wood and Detective Winters.

These photos are from the local Washington, D.C. gay magazine, METROWEEKLY‘s ‘Scene’ section. The event is The Next Generation Awards. Awards given by the magazine that honor achievement and potential of LGBT leaders under 30.
So, take a look, LGBT Youth. You could someday find yourself here.
From The Washington Blade:
About 80 people turned out on Saturday, May 11, for D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray’s First Annual LGBT Youth Summit, which was held at the Eastern Market’s meeting hall on Capitol Hill.
Those attending the event appeared to be equally divided between high school age youth and adults, including city officials, teachers and school administrators.
Gray served as moderator of the event, presenting opening remarks outlining the city’s policies and laws that support LGBT equality and fielding questions from the youth.
“We had modest goals – that is to give the youth a chance to be able to express who they are and to talk about some of the challenges of what it means to be gay, bisexual, transgender, and lesbian in our city,” Gray told the Blade after the summit ended.
Washington, D.C.’s gay weekly magazine, METROWEEKLY, runs a segment they call “Coverboy.” It’s a short interview with a good-looking D.C. local and some photos. At the end of the year, the magazine has a contest of all the years Coverboys to pick the top three. The winners all get prizes from various area establishments for being the Coverboy of the the Year.

Staying active is at the top of the agenda for 27-year-old Jared. Originally from Hampton Roads, Va., Jared kicked his way through college on a soccer scholarship. Today, working as a graphic designer, he’s still scoring goals in a co-ed recreational league. He’s also trained in ”aerial silks,” acrobatic feats aloft made by famous by Cirque du Soleil. ”It’s a lot of fun and a good workout,” he says.

Random Eye Candy: Aaron Lee Smith, METROWEEKLY’s Coverboy 2012
With the passage of gay marriage equality in Minnesota Mary Tyler Moore’s famous gleeful hat toss from the credits of the Mary Tyler Moore show has taken on a whole new meaning:
And we all though Rhoda was our gal.
Of course, the Mary Tyler Moore Show has always been ahead of everyone else when it comes to gay issues. In the season three episode, ‘My Brother’s Keeper’, the character Phyllis is upset because she thinks that Rhoda is making the moves on her brother. The two have been spending an awful lot of time together in the episode. Rhoda lets Phyllis know, though, she has nothing to worry about.
In 2008, Marylander, Joseph L. Kitchen, Jr. voted for California’s Proposition 8 which bans same-sex couples from getting married in the Golden State by absentee ballot; he still maintained a California residency. That vote was an awakening in Kitchen, which led him to come out as a gay man and fight for marriage equality for Maryland’s same-sex couples.
From The Washington Blade:
“And the interesting thing about it is I voted for the proposition knowing who I was,” he told the Blade in an exclusive interview. “But I voted for it. And I think that vote… affirmed to me that I could not live that way anymore.”
Added Kitchen, “I could not be publicly who I was saying I was but knowing my private life. And so when I did that – immediately after I did that – of course my position changed. I started to become more comfortable about who I was.”
He says he also became more comfortable in reconciling his religious beliefs with his sexual orientation.
“I had to believe and come to realize, as a person of faith, that I am made in God’s image and he has made me to be who he wants me to be, that God made me this way because this is who I am and I’m made in his image.”
While we celebrate victory in Minnesota for gay marriage equality, across the globe is another victory for the freedom to marry. From the Wall Street Journal:
Hong Kong’s top court handed down a groundbreaking ruling to allow a transgender woman to marry her boyfriend.
On Monday, the city’s court of final appeal said that being transgender—someone whose physical and sexual characteristics may not match their gender identity—shouldn’t stop someone from getting wed. The appellant, identified in court documents as “W,” is a woman in her 30s who underwent sex-reassignment surgery in Hong Kong in 2008.
In its 4-1 ruling, the court said it was necessary to protect the rights of transgender people. “The greatest and most urgent need for constitutional protection is apt to be found among those who form a minority, especially a misunderstood minority,” the judgment ran.
