Each week queerguru takes a brief look at some of the big things that have made us smile and get a real ‘high five’ aka the ice cream emoji, and at the other end of the scale, those things that have really pissed us off and get a very big thumbs downs aka the famous ‘poop’ emoji.
This week’s 
include :
Christine Leinonen a mother of one of the Orlando victims mother who moved the entire Democratic Convention audience to tears with her powerful speech carried live on all major networks EXCEPT Fox News.
The Isle of Man, almost the last part of the UK to allow same-sex marriages, has it’s first LGBT wedding (N.B. Northern Ireland still refuses to budge.)
Bear World Magazine holds its first ever Fashion Week : the theme is Chunky is Sexy
US Navy for naming one of its new ships after gay activist HARVEY MILK
Sarah McBride for making history as the first openly trans person to speak at a National Convention.
The Out Hotel in NY where the gay owners practically made out with Ted Cruz had to sell up once the LGBT boycott ensured that no self-respecting gay person or organization would patronize the place. We should never ever give our business to anyone or any company who actively support any vehemently anti-gay politicians or policies, as we really can make a difference.
Jonathan Groff for stepping back into the shoes of gay video game developer Patrick Murray for Looking: The Movie and wanting to give his all (literally) so he signed the naked dick waiver for the sake of his art (!). Here’s 5 of the best (fully clothed) kisses with Groff and Raul Castillo who played Ritchie.
Adam Silver the Commissioner of the NBA (National Basketball Association) for moving next year’s All-Star Game from North Carolina because of HB2, the state’s controversial anti-LGBTI law.
The United Methodist Church for finally catching up with the Anglicans and elected Karen Phyllis Oliveto as their first lesbian Bishop despite the muttering in the pews.
Hilton Hotels for featuring a gay male couple in bed in their latest advert and not being phased when the homophobic virulently anti gay America Family Association (sic) start to protest.
This weeks 
include:
Seriously deluded Log Cabin Republican president Gregory T. Angelo who came out with a real choice one this week with a claim that Trump’s take on the LGBT community is far more advanced than President Obama’s. Which planet do these people live on, and will they be going back there any day soon?
Slime-bag Florida Senator Marco Rubio is actually going to address a ‘Kim Davis’ rally just two months after the Orlando massacre, proving when it comes to failed Presidential candidates keep tripping over each other to see who can sink the lowest Rubio has a head start. We must ensure that he never ever gets re-elected.
The Bishop of The Arctic has evidently come out against same sex marriage. Who even knew there was such a person, and more importantly, who actually cares?
Here’s hoping that the lovely Freddie Mercury will come back to haunt the Republican Presidential Candidate for having the sheer audacity to usurp one of Freddie’s finest tunes for his entrance to the Convention. He will never be anyone’s champion.
Mrs Ummy Mwalimu (gotta love that name) the Health Minister of Tanzania for seriously under-estimating gay man by banning the sale of lube thinking that will stop them having sex. Duh!
