A Michigan mayor’s proclamations about same-sex marriage and the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community are continuing to cause controversy nationwide.
As Patch reports, Troy Mayor Janice Daniels met with members of the Troy High School Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) on Monday in an effort to reach an understanding after an “anti-gay” slur that appeared on her personal Facebook page was harshly criticized by LGBT advocacy groups. However, those hoping the meeting would completely smooth things over say they were disappointed by the outcome.
According to students and others who attended the meeting, Daniels, a Republican, suggested putting together a panel of psychologists to show that homosexuality is dangerous to your mental health,Patch reports. “There were a lot of disturbing things that were said in that meeting,” Troy High School senior Skye Curtis is quoted as saying. “She definitely meant it in quite a negative connotation.”
Daniels has since denied ever making the suggestion, calling it instead a “misrepresentation entirely.” She told the Detroit Free Press: “What I said was, there’s a higher incidence of [overall] disease in the homosexual community. I believe in full disclosure. I would like to reach out to this girl and her parents about how this can be resolved.”

Ever since the new ABC sitcom Suburgatory premiered last fall, the character of Mr. Wolfe (played with much bravado by Rex Lee) has made the gaydar of viewers spike into the ‘WAY GAY’ category. But until last night’s episode, entitled “Out In The Burbs,” we didn’t truly know what the guidance counselor’s story was.
Last night, Mr. Wolfe boldly grabbed a microphone in the middle of the school cafeteria and valiantly announced that he was gay.
AfterElton.com is the only news outlet to score an exclusive first chat with the newly out Mr. Wolfe. (Okay, maybe with a little help from the writing staff of Suburgatory!) Here he shares his feelings on his new life on the on the other side of the closet.

Lance Bass has apologized for using a transgender slur on national television.
While guest hosting Access Hollywood Live on Thursday morning, Bass suggested to guestBilly Eichner that he interview “trannies” for his new show Billy On The Street, a New York City-based man-on-the-street game show.
“You need to go to Christopher and Hudson and get those trannies on the corner there – that would be perfect,” Bass told Eichner.
“I love trannies,” Eichner started, then added: “We’re not supposed to call them trannies anymore. Did you see that Neil Patrick Harris called them a tranny on Twitter?”
(Related: Neil Patrick Harris apologizes for transgender slur on Live! With Kelly.)
“Oh, no?” Bass said. “Great, now I’m going to get in trouble.”
The 32-year-old openly gay Bass apologized for the gaff in a Twitter message to his nearly 150,000 followers: “You think ONE of my MANY transvestite friends would have told me ‘tranny’ is a bad word now! They only call themselves that – I’m sorry if I offended anyone by using that word!”
