Gay men earn 20% less than straight men.

The report, by Professor Mark Wooden at the University of Melbourne and Associate Professor Joseph Sabia from San Diego State University, is based on 2012 data from the Australia HILDA Survey, which included responses from more than 10,000 people.
It found significant evidence of wage discrimination against gay men, who are less likely to be employed than their straight counterparts and are also paid a lower hourly wage.
"Employer discrimination is likely a major part of the explanation for these wage gaps, especially in the case of gay men," said Professor Wooden.
The study also found evidence of gay men having greater barriers to overcome in the workforce for career advancement.

"Lesbian women, predominantly, the reason why they earn more is because they work more," he told BuzzFeed News. "They don't earn any more per hour."
"One of the big reasons why they work more hours is because they are far less likely to have kids," he added, saying lesbians are also more likely to be employed than their straight counterparts.
The 2012 HILDA survey found only 22% of lesbians aged 30 to 49 had kids, compared to 59% of straight women.

The 22-year-old Pennsylvanian walks you through what it's like living with the disease and the challenges he faces everyday. Shane is not able to do everything normal people can do. However, Shane's determination to keep living positively is very uplifting!
...There are many different kinds of muscular dystrophy. Symptoms of the most common variety begin in childhood, primarily in boys. Other types don't surface until adulthood. Some people who have muscular dystrophy will eventually lose the ability to walk. Some may have trouble breathing or swallowing. There is no cure for muscular dystrophy. But medications and therapy can help manage symptoms and slow the course of the disease."
"This video was inspired by a piece I wrote a few years ago shortly after a pretty bad hospital stay. The video recounts the terrifying process of being admitted to the hospital and thinking I was on my way towards death back when I was 17 years old. Obviously, I didn’t die! I attribute my survival through that illness to the positive mindset I had throughout, and also, ya know, like, doctors and medicine and stuff," Burcaw said.

“Made in Sierra Leone by Tejan. The first few times he coughed up blood he hid it from his family.”
"100% cotton. Made in Sierra Leone by Tejan. The first few times he coughed up blood he hid it from his family. They couldn't afford medical treatment and he couldn't risk losing his long-time job at the cotton plantation. When he fell into a seizure one day it could no longer be ignored. The diagnosis was pesticide poisoning. The lack of proper protective clothing has left him with leukemia at the age of 34. He has two daughters. One of them starts work at the factory next year. The label doesn't tell the whole story."
"100% cotton. Made in Cambodia by Behnly, nine years old. He gets up at 5:00 am every morning to make his way to the garment factory where he works. It will be dark when he arrives and dark when he leaves. He dresses lightly because the temperature in the room he works reaches 30 degrees. The dust in the room fills his nose and mouth. He will make less than a dollar, for a day spent slowly suffocating. A mask would cost the company ten cents. The label doesn't tell the whole story."
"100% cotton. Made in Bangladesh by Joya who left school at the age of twelve to help support her two brothers and newly widowed mother. Her father was killed when a fire ripped through the cotton factory where he works. She now works in the building across the street from the burned down factory. A constant reminder of the risk she takes everyday. The label doesn't tell the whole story."

Who says a romper covered in pom poms isn’t work appropriate?
First a few thoughts before we begin...
Leo: Nasty Gal sells some kind of insane stuff, but full disclosure: I shop there from time to time. A lot of the stuff is totally unwearable, but I do have to admit that I kind of admire the Nasty Gal fantasy. Like, she's someone who uses glitter condoms, wears bras as shirts, and is also a DJ with some fancy Scandinavian name spelled in ALL CAPS.
Kristin: Nasty Gal clothes all seem to me like they come from a weird dystopian future where all the humans are forced to switch clothes with all the Barbie dolls from the '90s.
Leo: "Sexy" sesame street costume.
Kristin: A Fraggle Rock parody porno.
Leo: I imagine if you dropped acid and then went to play basketball, it'd look something like this.
Krstin: This outfit is going in so many different directions, it looks like it can't decide what it's trying to parody. Like, it's from the Spring Zoolander Collection For Those Who Can't Satire Good And Want To Learn How To Do Other Stuff Good Too.
Leo: Bad-Satire: So hot right now.
Kristin: Somewhere out there, there's a 13-year-old who is dying to wear this shirt to church. Like, fuck you mom and dad, this is what I spent my babysitting money on.
Leo: Cult of what though?
Kristin: The cult of Claire's boutiques. Also, if you still have to tell people that you are a cult leader, I feel like you have a long way to go before truly being a leader of cults.
Leo: You could change one letter of this and it could be very bad.

The Broadway actor turned Bunheads star is returning to television as a 40-year-old who pretends to be 26 — and she’s loving playing someone who doesn’t have to pick a side.
Sutton Foster as Liza on Younger.
TV Land
It's been over two years since Bunheads aired its final episode on ABC Family, and the loss is still palpable for fans of the show and for Sutton Foster, who starred on the series as Michelle Simms, a ballerina turned Vegas showgirl who, by a freak course of events in the pilot, ended up teaching dance to a group of young girls in the fictional town of Paradise, California.
Bunheads was critically adored but a tough sell for ABC Family, resting tenuously on the cancellation bubble for six months following the Season 1 finale before the network pulled the plug in July 2013. But Foster's experience on the ABC Family dramedy didn't sour her on television — it just made her more selective about what to do next.
Foster wasn't afraid to wait for the right role, and it wasn't long before she found it in Liza Miller, the lead character on Younger, the new TV Land series from Darren Star (Sex and the City).
Just a few months after Bunheads was canceled, Foster returned to Broadway, where she previously made her mark with starring roles in Thoroughly Modern Millie (2002), The Drowsy Chaperone (2006), and Anything Goes (2011). In November 2013, she signed on to star in a revival of the musical Violet, which eventually earned Foster her sixth Tony Award nomination (she's won twice).
When Younger was picked up, everything fell into place for the actor.
"I wasn't necessarily looking for another TV project, and then my agent sent me the script for Younger, and I thought it had the wit and the smarts that Bunheads had," Foster told BuzzFeed News during an interview at the Crosby Street Hotel in New York. "Nothing is harder than doing theater, for me. Doing eight shows a week is the hardest thing that I've ever done. I was starting to break down a little bit and get really tired and burned out. TV seemed like, in a way, a nice change of pace."
Liza gets advice from her coworker Kelsey (Hilary Duff).
TV Land
On Younger, Foster plays a 40-year-old recently divorced mother who jumps back into the job market (and the dating pool) by pretending to be 26. She struggles to impress her moody boss Diana (Miriam Shor) while navigating an unexpected romance with a younger man (Nico Tortorella).
"I just felt like she was a character I could play," said Foster, who turned 40 herself earlier this month. "What was great about Michelle Simms on Bunheads is she was holding on to her lost youth and so I understood what that was. In a way, with this character, playing someone who is revisiting her youth … was something that I could understand and wanted to explore."
Between Bunheads and Younger, Foster was going in for roles that weren't the right fit, largely because she was coming across as younger than she was. "I didn't know where I was fitting in," she said.
Now more than ever, "my age is staring me in the face," Foster said. But if there's one aspect of Liza that Foster can truly relate to, it's the sense of being pulled between two worlds.
Foster herself is more 40 than 26 — she admitted to being taken aback by the late-night hipster lifestyle in Brooklyn, where Younger filmed — but she still relates to both sides of Liza, who has allowed Foster to embrace that feeling of being in between, a blend of grown-up obligations and youthful exuberance.
"What does it mean to be 40? I definitely have responsibilities and mortgages. I don't have the carefree twentysomething life," Foster said. "I understand the 40-year-old more than the 20-year-old, but even with that, I go back and forth, which is perfect for the character. She doesn't know what the hell she's doing either."

I break this story up into three chapters. It should never have gone this far, but the internet works in mysterious ways. None of this should have ever happened. It makes absolutely no sense at all. It's truly crazy.

THE STORY BEGINS in early 2014 when I was in the East Village at my favorite bar, EVS. I've said this multiple times so far, but I swear it's on St. Marks and it's not douchey. Also don't start going there, because it's my bar and it's impossible to find a not-crowded bar in New York City with a good happy hour. So yeah, don't go there.
Anyway, it's like February 2014 and I'm out drinking my $20 happy hour bottle of wine when someone comes into the bar and swipes my phone off the table. Honestly, it's genius. I applaud the person who took my phone. I bet you he stole 20 phones that night. It's the perfect place to steal phones. Bravo. Genius.
Anyway, I call my phone and it goes straight to voicemail: the international sign of death. I was never seeing that phone again. The phone was gone.
This. Sick. Exhibit.
BuzzFeed was lucky enough to get a behind-the-scenes visit to The Grammy Museum's special exhibit, "The Taylor Swift Experience," running through May 10 in Downtown Los Angeles. Here are some of the SWIFTIEST things you have to see at the amazing exhibit!

Bonus Points: The piano is automated to play some Taylor tracks, naturally. Right away, you know you're in the presence of musical greatness because there are velvet ropes around the piano. If only TSwift was there to play herself...

If you REALLY need a reminder of how much Taylor has achieved in less than a decade on the scene, than the discography wall is for you. It's MASSIVE, with panels devoted to each of her albums — complete with track listings, tour stops, and awards. There's lit'rally no BLANK SPACE on the walls, not even for Starbucks lovers!
Macey J. Foronda / BuzzFeed
Mother knows best! Which is good, because in this case Tay's mom Andrea helped curate the exhibit. You've got family photos, home videos, even art drawn by Taylor herself! She's a true renaissance woman. But she probably shouldn't quit her day job.
