In the wake of the tragic murder of Lawrence King, the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) and LOGO (AfterELton.com's parent company) have enlisted the support of a number of celebrities to film a PSA urging people to "stop the hate" and ensure the safety of ALL students in our schools.

Participating in the public service announcement are T.R. Knight, Portia de Rossi, Janet Jackson and many others. Let's hope the loss of Lawrence leads to the prevention of this happening again.

• Bravo snuck us this delicious shot of Ronnie from tonight's Make Me a Supermodel. Be sure to come back at 10PM EST for Dan's liveblog of the art-class-nude-posing, body-paint-gallery-installation-rocking fun!

• Daddy bear designers Jeffrey Costello and Robert Tagliapietra get lots of acclaim but no love from the masses. Give it up, people! Fur isn't murder when it's growing on your back, you know.

• Out Traveler ran a fun piece earlier this week on the gay New York of the past. How would Walt Whitman feel if he saw that the "city of orgies" had become the "city of bland romantic comedies, $20 martinis and designer cupcakes"?

• Happy birthday, Portia! Ellen's ladylove turns 34 today.

• Towleroad got hold of a PSA on barebacking porn made by gay porn director/waxing enthusiast Chi Chi LaRue. Um, NSFW, obvs.
