Here are just a few of my favorites. Definitely head over to Buzzfeed to feel good about the LGBT community's best year to date in terms of advancement and good news:
The hip hop duo, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, released a song in support of marriage equality.
A record 23 openly gay athletes competed in Summer Olympics and 10 of them took home medals.
Featherweight Orlando Cruz won his match just days after he became the first openly gay boxer.
NFL punter, Chris Kluwe, was not afraid to be a vocal ally and stand up for LGBT issues.
Rugby player Ben Cohen launched "StandUp," a magazine to highlight the best in sports culture while also trying to end bullying and homophobia.
Barack Obama became the first sitting president to publicly support same-sex marriage.
Much more at Buzzfeed. Go take a look and remember what a good year this has been for the LGBT community.
