WASHINGTON D.C. is among the school districts across the country that will
adopt a pilot program designed to improve the safety of LGBT students.
The Los Angeles Unied School District and the Los Angeles LGBT Center in
October 2013 launched the OUT for Safe Schools initiative that trains sta on
how to make what a press release described as schools safer for lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning (LGBTQ) students.
The press release said more than 30,000 teachers and sta within the Los
Angeles Unied School District have undergone the training and wear rainbow
badges that proudly identify themselves as LGBTQ allies and protectors of
students who are LGBTQ. The program will now expand to the nations capital
along with Boston, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, San Diego and Duval
County in Florida.
Safe school climates and supportive adults are key to keeping LGBTQ youth in
schools and out of the juvenile justice system, said Georey Winder, co-executive
director of the GSA Network, which is also involved in the program. Trans
and queer youth who feel valued, important, and supported by out teachers,
administrators, and sta are more likely to feel personally connected to school,
invested in their own education and, ultimately, to reach out for help if they may
need it.

More than 50 people who have had a role in shaping Baltimores LGBT history
attended a book launch and celebration for the recently published book LGBT
Baltimore. Former Baltimore Mayor Kurt Schmoke was the principal speaker at
the event held on Sept. 28 at the University of Baltimore Student Center.
Schmoke, a three-term mayor beginning in 1987, is currently the president
of UB. He was a key ally in attaining non-discrimination legislation in the city
despite robust opposition from several members of the Council. Schmoke
recalled how he issued an important executive order for benets for gay and
lesbian city employees after discussing the measure with local clergy leaders
and framed the issue in terms of fairness.

LOS ANGELES Danny Pintauro, the former child star of Whos the Boss
fame who came out as HIV-positive in an Oprah Winfrey interview last month,
told US Weekly this week he contracted the virus through oral sex.
Believe it or not, with this guy I was actually safe, the 39-year-old said in an
interview with his husband, Will Tabares. We did use condoms, Pintauro said. I
got it another way, which was through oral sex. When you put all of these nasty
things together, like a compromised immune system, having been up for a long
time, drugs, rough sex, all of that combined with lesions in your mouth, bodily
uids, its that easy.
Pintauros comments, including those he made on an appearance on The
View, have drawn concern in some sectors. In a Hungton Post op-ed, radio
host Ken Schneck writes that Pintauro has muddied HIV issues in his messaging.
Pintauro is on a Beacon of Light Tour to spread awareness about HIV and
the dangers of crystal meth use and is participating in HIV Equal Campaign, an
eort to eliminate HIV stigma.

PROUD SPONSOR OF MOST ELIGIBLE LGBT SINGLES
NEW YORK A prominent Southern Baptist theologian this week spoke out
against psychological counseling aimed at turning gay people straight, saying
homosexuality cannot be turned o like a switch, ABC News reports. Instead, he
said, the sin of being attracted to a person of the same sex can be changed by
turning to the Bibles teachings.
The Rev. R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary, said so-called conversion or reparative therapy doesnt carry the
redemptive power of prayer, ABC reports.
In the case of many people struggling with this particular sin, we do not
believe that some kind of supercial answer whereby they can turn a switch
from being attracted to persons of the same sex to being attracted to persons of
the opposite sex, ABC News quoted Mohler as having told reporters at the start
of a three-day conference on homosexuality and how to oer pastoral care to
gays, hosted by the Louisville seminary.
By Gods grace, that might happen over time as a sign of Gods work within
the life of that individual. But ... for many, many people struggling with these
patterns of sin, it will be a lifelong battle, Mohler said.
Ahead of the Homosexuality: Compassion, Care and Counsel for Struggling
People conference, Mohler also said he was unwavering in the belief that
marriage is only between a man and a woman. He said he believes homosexuals
can change by accepting biblical teachings, ABC News reports.
Several dozen gay-rights advocates denounced the conference by holding a
protest next to the seminary. Their protest included a prayer for love, inclusion
and respect. Some demonstrators held up signs that said: Love Needs No Cure,
the ABC report noted.

LGBT people, though without any hint of doctrinal change. During his visit, Francis toned
down the culture-war rhetoric. One positive
gesture was having openly gay Mo Rocca do
a scriptural reading during the Mass at Madison Square Garden. Less so was the sole gay
speaker at the World Meeting of Families
in Philadelphia, Ron Belgau, who embraces
celibacy in acceptance of the Catholic Church
teaching that gay lovemaking is a sin. Belgau
can suit himself, but demanding lifelong denial
of intimacy is a prescription for misery.
On his ight back to Rome, Francis defended conscientious objection, which some
interpreted as endorsing the refusal by Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis to issue marriage licenses that went against her faith. Mat
Staver, the Liberty Counsel attorney for Davis,
then claimed that Davis had met the Pope in
Washington. The Vatican conrmed this, but
said she was but one of several dozen people
who were given a blessing and a rosary. The
only real papal audience in Washington was
with the Popes gay former student Yayo
Grassi and his family, which included his 19year partner Iwan Bagus. A video shows Francis warmly embracing both men and kissing
them on their cheeks.
The papal nuncio who invited Davis, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigan, appears to be in
The Human Rights Campaign hosted Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Rodham Clinton at breakfast and Vice President
Joseph Biden at dinner on Oct. 3. It was a great
day for the LGBT family.
HRC is the nations leading LGBT civil rights
organization and has been at the forefront of
the ght for the rights of the LGBT community.
It has at times been attacked for its lack of diversity and sometimes seems to have had a
hard time moving on from the days when it
was known as HRCF and nicknamed the Human Rights Champagne Fund. But the reality is
running a major organization like HRC takes a
ing in every area of government. He mentioned Eric Fanning, who was in the audience,
had just been nominated as the rst openly
gay Secretary of the Army. Biden reminded
us it was he in 2012 who supported marriage
equality before the president seemed ready
to do it and got an ovation from the audience.
His two funniest lines were when he began after that people started to say to him at which
point someone in the audience yelled run Joe
run and Biden replied, No that wasnt it. And
when he talked about there still being homophobes and said, Most of them seem to be
running for president.
He said the LGBT community would get full
civil and human rights sooner than we think
and most people dont realize we dont already
have them. Biden spoke out for transgender
rights and allowing trans people to serve in
the military and for banning conversion therapy for minors. He committed his continuing
support for the work ahead and was given a
thunderous ovation.
It was another successful day for HRC. Tim
Cook, Apple CEO, received an award at the
dinner and Carly Rae Jepsen entertained. It
was announced the sponsors of the dinner
collectively donated more than $1 million for
the evening.

KIDD OSHEA
How long have you been out and who
was the hardest person to tell?
I came out when I was 18. The hardest
people to tell were my parents. They
were extremely accepting. Then in 2012,
I came out publicly on the radio to my
audience in Milwaukee. They too were
extremely accepting and showed me
how successful you can be when youre
being who you truly are.

Kidd OShea always thought hed end up on the West Coast, but when
the opportunity to go into TV full-time presented itself he made the leap
from Milwaukee, where he lived and worked for 19 years in radio and TV
primarily the former as he hosted a morning radio show to Washington.
I couldnt be happier than I am on the East Coast, the 35-year-old
Milwaukee native says.
OShea arrived in Washington in mid-August to start his new jobs as social
media anchor for Good Morning Washington at WJLA-TV ABC 7 and as host
of Lets Talk Live News Channel 8.
OShea lives in Adams Morgan and enjoys a good libation in his free time.
Is drinking cocktails a hobby, he asks. He likes to spend Friday nights, on
the couch with a bottle of wine and [reality show] Shark Tank.
