Just in time for Valentines Day, Armani Exchange is helping lead the way in 2010’s LGBT movement with the release of their latest all-inclusive “Share the Love” campaign which launched on their website and at malls across the country.

The ad features a heterosexual couple and two homosexual couples, embracing their partner in a pictorial collage.

Oh my, two gay couples embracing and it’s appearing at malls?!? Yep, all the rednecks will get a kick out of this, hence all the controversy. Check out the video of protesters after the jump and of course the ad campaign in its full scale.

Oh, and like all great advertising, for people to accept you, you must be bulimic to look as good as the guys above. ;)

It’s pride weekend in Dallas, woot woot!!! As most of my regular readers know, this blog has FAILED at being updated the past few months and I totally apologize for that. I’m not sure if it was my pms kicking through or the fact that my life is changing right before my eyes that kept me from updating. Or it could have just been me trying to keep my mouth closed and not be so dramatic about everything. =)

Point being, I’m back and ready to start posting again. I’ve recently picked up photography so check it out at www.tracynphotography.com (my REAL name). My birthday also just  passed this Wednesday so thanks to the many of you that left a message on my Facebook. I’m now 23 and rocking a new hair-do (pictured above), with a much more positive outlook on life.

Stay tuned this weekend for the Pride Photo updates and of course the updates during the week. I thank you all for your continued support of Pop Wired and helping it grow into the site it is today. Happy gay weekend!

Dallas doesn’t celebrate Gay Pride month like the rest of the country in June. Instead, we pick the most random month and the most random day of the year and stick a name to it and call it the Alan Ross Texas Freedom Parade.

GLBT Dallas is offering all you gays from around the U.S. a free trip to Dallas so that you can make love to the hot Texas men — oh, and to come enjoy the pride parade.

Visit GLBTDALLAS.COM for a chance to win a trip for two to the Dallas Pride weekend, September 18-21, 2009. Sponsoring this trip is American Airlines and the Dallas Voice.

Fashion photographer Adam Bouska, 25, is changing the political mindset of  Californian youths.

In a protest towards the recently passed Proposition 8 bill which banned gay marriages in the state of California, –  alongside picketing with pitchforks — Bouska had decided to take a more creative route to vent his exasperation for the homophobes.

The Los Angeles photographer began doing a series of photoshoots featuring youths against H8.

“I want to say thank you to everyone for the overwhelming support regarding the NO H8 photo campaign. Last weekend I invited more ‘NO H8′ers into the studio to add to the growing collection,” Bouska said in his blog Dec 22.

Not surprisingly, a lot of the men in Bouska’s campaign are rather ’stunning’ looking. You can see the set after the jump.

The world took a miraculous turn Nov. 4 for –hopefully — the best with the election of President-Elect Barack Obama. A few hours later we found out that California’s Proposition 8, which bans gay marriage, had passed. Without a doubt that was one of the biggest disappointment in politics that I have ever endured.

Now I have something to smile about… at Change.gov, Obama has laid out his plans for the LGBT community which includes: 1) Combating workplace discrimination, 2) Expand Hate Crimes Statutes, 3) Support Full Civil Unions and Federal Rights for LGBT Couples, 4) Oppose a Constitutional Ban on Same-Sex Marriage, 5) Repeal Don’t Ask-Don’t Tell, 6) Promote AIDS Prevention, 7) Expand Adoption Rights and 8) Empower Women to Prevent HIV/AIDS.

That’s a lot to do in four years. Do you think he can make it happen? Let’s hope he can fulfill all his promises.

As we reported Friday, the LGBT community united together Saturday morning at the city’s capitol — including the great city of Dallas — to protest against the passage of California’s Proposition 8. We really expected a larger turn-out considering the masses of people that attends the Pride Parade and the Halloween Block Party, but the number of protesters were around a mere 1,000.

Check after the jump to view our photo gallery and the video of the protest. We certainly hope that you had enough pride to fight for your civil rights and equality for all people.
