2) The family of the Ugandan couple that married in Sweden is being harassed back at home.

"In the study, which questioned lesbian, gay, bisexual and straight youth about being bullied at ages 13 and 14, less than 10% reported being bullied at ages 19 and 20."

3) Majority of U.S. voters would like the BSA to drop it's anti-gay policies.

2) Marco Rubio is walking a fine line on LGBT rights.

"He still supports limiting marriage to one man and one woman, though, and did not commit to any action to advance LGBT equality."
