“Ex-Gay” Blogger Sells His Computer, Locks His Phone to Avoid ‘Giving Into Temptation’
I find this story from Gawker very sad. Matt Moore, a blogger for a Christian-centered blog, is publicly trying to not be “sinful” and “give in to temptation” by being gay.

John Mayer Calls Frank Ocean, Jodie Foster “Heroic”
Let’s just say it’s amazing to see artists/actors supporting and admiring each other.

I hope Prime Minister David…
