Last night, Cher presented her son Chaz Bono with GLAAD's Stephen F. Kolzak Award, and it was kind of amazing. Bono was also honored for the documentary Becoming Chaz, which chronicled his transition from female to male. In the film, Cher admitted some difficulty thinking of Chaz as a man after watching him grow up as a woman. This delightful picture of Cher (and her hair) embracing Bono is a nice reflection of how far they've come.

Child star turned religious zealot Kirk Cameron pissed a lot of people off when he appeared on Piers Morgan Tonight and said gays were icky.

Gay-rights group GLAAD set up a Facebook page to honor the memory of Tyler Celmenti and other victims of anti-gay bullying — and the page was promptly attacked by legions of anti-gay bullies. Now Facebook is helping fight the bigotry.

Stars on Ice denies it, but Johnny is so over them, anyway. He might even start a rival showcase, with Lady Gaga. It's cute how he thinks if he says her name enough, she'll pull a Tinkerbell and magically appear.

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation was trying to say "ABC sucks for banning Adam Lambert." They are so mealy-mouthed and non-commital that it took them three, yes three, press releases to say just that. Get a grip, GLAAD.
