WASHINGTON -- Cyber criminals from around the globe are now targeting popular social networking sites, putting users in harm's way. How safe are you from becoming a victim?

Gordon M. Snow, the FBI's Assistant Director, testified recently before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security, on the FBI's efforts to combat cyber crimes on social networking sites.

Sixteen years ago, actor/playwright Travis Michael Holder embarked on a cathartic journey that has finally come full circle.
His original, semi-autobiographical play, “Surprise Surprise” – about a closeted gay actor with a much younger, disabled lover and an estranged teenaged son – is now a full-length feature just released on DVD.

In a recent interview, Holder – along with the film’s director, Jerry Turner – discuss the filmmaking process, what parts of the plot were plucked from real life, and why this gay-themed film got snubbed for not being gay enough.

At the first CNN/YouTube Presidential Primary Debate in Charleston, S.C., in 2007, the Rev. Reggie Longcrier, Faith in America supporter and pastor of Exodus Mission and Outreach Church in Hickory, N.C., asked then Democratic candidate John Edwards “Why is it still acceptable to use religion to deny gay Americans their full and equal rights?”

The question, following Edward’s statement of opposition to same-sex marriage in relation to his Southern Baptist background, drew the loudest applause of any question, according to audience members at the debate.

DALLAS – Gay couples who are legally married cannot get a divorce in Texas, which prohibits same-sex weddings.

The Fifth Texas Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that a district court judge in Dallas did not have the authority to hear a divorce case involving two Dallas men who were legally married in 2006 in Massachusetts.

District Judge Tena Callahan, a Democrat, heard the divorce case and dismissed the state’s motion to intervene. State Attorney General Greg Abbott, a Republican, then appealed the decision.
