Smithsonian Removes Jesus Video From Gay Exhibit
By Mara Gay - AOL News(Dec. 1) -- The Smithsonian has removed a video from an exhibit on gay love at its National Portrait Gallery after conservative groups and lawmakers condemned the art as "hate speech" intended to offend Christians ahead of Christmas. Art historians and curators say the video, which depicts Jesus on a crucifix covered with ants, was created in 1987 as a statement about the universal suffering caused by AIDS.

'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Is Back On, Indefinitely: Initial Reactions
By Carl Franzen - AOL News(Nov. 1) -- The day before the critical midterm elections, the Obama administration has won its federal case to extend the freeze on the overturning of "don't ask, don't tell," which was ruled unconstitutional by another federal judge less than a month ago.
