When "Orange is the New Black" writer Lauren Morelli started working on the series, she didn't realize how much it would also script her future. As Morelli wrote in an essay for Mic.com in May, writing for the Netflix hit helped her realize that she was gay -- even though at the time, she was married to a man. When production began on "OITNB," Morelli had been wed for five months. "I realized I was gay in fall 2012, one of my first days on the set," Morelli wrote. "It wasn't so much one thing, but the sum of many small details: how uncomfortable I felt around groups of lesbians or how I considered myself

Angelina Jolie is married, and so is her ex-girlfriend, Jenny Shimizu. Shimizu recently wed brand consultant Michelle Harper, according to Us Weekly. On Wednesday, photos of Harper wearing a voluminous wedding dress on Aug. 22 in the Soho neighborhood of New York City surfaced via Splash photo agency. Shimizu, a former Calvin Klein model, met Harper in 2012 at a party, per a New York Times profile on Harper, a club kid-turned-businesswoman. The two were recently featured in Vogue magazine wearing what Harper described in a June Instagram post as some "cray fun wedding garb." Shimizu and Jolie dated the 1990s after meeting on the set of 1996's "Foxfire." "I probably would have married Jenny Shimizu if I hadn't married my husband [Jonny Lee Miller]," Jolie told Girlfriends magazine in 1997. "I fell in love with her the first second I saw her. Actually, I saw when she was being cast in 'Foxfire,' and I thought she had just read for my part. I thought

Our hearts collectively broke earlier today when we learned that Joan Rivers passed away at the age of 81. The gay icon reportedly stopped breathing during a procedure on her vocal cords at a clinic last week and had been in and out of intensive care since the incident. While remembering Rivers' groundbreaking career, it must be noted that her contributions to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community and queer visibility were massive. In honor of the legendary comedian, we present to you six of our favorite queer moments from Joan Rivers' life. Our thoughts are with her family and friends. [su_dropcap]1[/su_dropcap] Joan Officiates A Gay Wedding Last month Rivers officiated a gay wedding at New York's Plaza Athenee -- and it wasn't her first. In 2013 the comedian also presided over a King Kong-themed ceremony on top of the Empire State Building. "Every wedding I officiate has a cover charge and a two-drink minimum," she joked.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were married Saturday, in Chateau Miraval in France, a spokesman for the couple said Thursday. They wed in a small, nondenominational ceremony attended just by friends and family. Jolie and Pitt obtained a marriage license from a California judge, who also presided over the ceremony in France, the AP reports. The couple's six children took part in the festivities. Sons Maddox and Pax walked their mother down the aisle. Daughters Zahara and Vivienne threw flower petals, and Shiloh and Knox served as ring bearers, the spokesman said. Jolie and Pitt were engaged in April 2012 and began dating in 2005, after meeting on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The relationship began as a Hollywood scandal, after "Brangelina" began their relationship while Pitt was still married to actress Jennifer Aniston. Aniston and Pitt divorced in October 2005, ending a five-year marriage. The couple have six children together; three adopted children: Maddox, Pax and Zahara; and three biological children: Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne. Pitt has been nominated for

Robin Williams, the beloved actor who died of an apparent suicide Monday, posted a touching photograph on Instagram two weeks earlier that showed him holding his daughter, Zelda Rae Williams, when she was a young child:   Williams, who was 63 years old, is survived by three children: Zachary, 31; Zelda, 25, and Cody, 22. Zelda is also an actress. His wife, graphic designer Susan Schneider, with whom he lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, said in a statement Monday that she was "utterly heartbroken." "This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings," she added. "As he is remembered, it is our hope that the focus will not be on Robin's death but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions." Fans took to Williams' Instagram page to express their own grief, and dozens of celebrities paid tribute on Twitter. In earlier Instagram posts, Zelda Williams shared

The news of Robin Williams' death has conjured a bounty of memories regarding the beloved actor's life. One of his crowning moments came in 1998, when he collected the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his turn as psychotherapist Sean Maguire in "Good Will Hunting." He'd been nominated three times previously, for "Good Morning, Vietnam" (1987), "Dead Poets Society" (1989) and "The Fisher King" (1991). His acceptance speech was peppered with grace and humor, insisting that he "still want[s] to see some I.D." for the movie's then-young screenwriters, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, and thanking the "Mishpucka Weinstein." His embrace with host and old friend Billy Crystal after the speech remains one of the most touching moments from that year's Oscars. Relive Williams' glorious moment below.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton engaged in an awkward exchange with NPR's Terry Gross on Thursday when the radio host pushed her on her evolving stance on gay marriage. When Clinton ran for the Democratic nomination for president in 2008, she, like then-candidate Barack Obama, opposed gay marriage. Since then, both Clinton and Obama have both publicly switched their stance on the issue. Gross attempted to clarify whether Clinton's initial opposition was a "political calculation." During their conversation, Clinton responded vaguely to Gross' attempts to clarify whether the likely 2016 candidate's position on gay marriage changed at any point, making general points like "just because you’re a politician doesn’t mean you’re not a thinking human being," and "I think I’m an American, I think that we have all evolved." Gross continued to reframe her question, asking whether Clinton, at any point, changed her mind about gay marriage, or whether she supported it personally all along. "You know, I really — I have to

Nabisco has made another incredible public display of support for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community through their Honey Maid Graham Cracker advertising campaigns, with the latest coming just in time for Pride Month! The snack company tweeted out this gif last Thursday, declaring their support for the LGBT community through social media with a clever play on the viral equality symbol. The company also sent out this tweet on Monday: In March, Nabisco released a powerful pro-LGBT family ad that that drew criticism from a number of conservatives. In response, the company released another pro-queer ad in which two artists turned all of the negative feedback on social media into an incredible "Love" art installation. Thanks for your continued support, Nabisco! (Courtesy of HuffPost.com)

Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) plaintiff Edie Windsor dropped by HuffPost Live this week, speaking at length about her history-making legal victory as well as her plans for the future. See the VIDEO HERE. In the wake of U.S. Supreme Court's 2013 ruling, Windsor and her attorney Roberta Kaplan said they'll now focus their efforts on homeless lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth. “A lot of them are kids who came out with joy, with everybody else coming out, and they were thrown out of their homes,” Windsor said. Added Kaplan: “We won an important battle. But we now have to turn our attention to the people in our community who are needy and do not have the resources that we have here in New York City … it’s time, long overdue, to direct the attention of our community to those people.” On June 2, Windsor appeared at a rally in support of homeless LGBT youth at Washington Square Park in Manhattan. That event was organized by New

The actress and filmmaker quietly tied the knot with her girlfriend Alexandra Hedison over the weekend, a rep for Foster confirmed to CNN. According to E! Online, which first reported the news, Foster and Hedison had been dating for almost a year. The entertainment site took note of the relationship last September after photos surfaced of Foster spending time with Hedison, a photographer/actress and an ex-girlfriend of Ellen DeGeneres. No other details are yet available about Hedison and Foster's nuptials, although we won't hold our breath: Foster is notoriously private about her personal life. At the 2013 Golden Globes, she declined to give a "big coming out speech" as she accepted her Cecil B. DeMille award, saying that she'd already come out to those close to her. "I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago, back in the stone age," Foster said. "If you had been a public figure from the time that you were a toddler, if you had to fight for a

To help others have an easier and more hopeful time. Regardless, for me, I feel a personal obligation and a social responsibility." "I am tired of hiding and I am tired of lying by omission," Page proudly and defiantly declared. "I suffered for years because I was scared to be out. My spirit suffered, my mental health suffered and my relationships suffered. And I’m standing here today, with all of you, on the other side of all that pain."
