While I was excited to hear that Nintendo's new life simulation game allowed men to marry other men, it was a temporary glitch according to officials.

News circulated online after players discovered that Nintendo's popular new game Tomodachi Collection: New Life allowed men to date, marry and have children with other male players. The female characters, however, could not do the same. When the question was raised to Nintendo customer support, they were told it was a bug and would be fixed.

"One claims to have contacted Nintendo's customer support, which supposedly said this is a bug and that the game needs to be patched," NPR reports Brian Ashcraft of gaming blog Kotaku as writing.

Tomodachi Collection is a Japan-only release for Nintendo 3DS that is already a best-seller a month after release. An update was released on Monday that included several fixes that are said to include patching the same-sex couple option.

Premium network HBO has given the green light to a new gay comedy drama, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

The series is unnamed as of now, but is the project of Lorimer executive producer Andrew Haigh. Bored to Death's Sarah Condon and Brothers and Sisters' David Marshall Grant will join Haigh in the credits.

Although the title isn't known, details have leaked that the show will be about three friends (Jonathan Groff, Frankie J. Alvarez and Murray Bartlett) in San Francisco determined to explore every inch of the queer capital. The comedy is set for an initial 8 episode run to premiere in 2014.

Homosexuality remains unwelcome in Singapore and most of South East Asia, but a new online magazine for gay men is testing the boundaries of a changing culture.

Today, sex between two men could cost each two years jail time in Singapore. The ban on homosexuality extends to media. Special licensing requirements must be met before approved media can be distributed. Knowing of its likelihood to fail as a print version, the publishers of a new magazine targeting gay men have launched apps for iPhone and Android. The digital distribution allows the team to circumvent existing restrictions.

The bi-monthly e-zine, Element, covers culture, fashion, entertainment, and fitness. Co-founder Noel Ng, 31, says he hopes Element will "restore the dignity and worth of every gay man" taken away by the poor treatment of gay Singaporeans.

Element will cost you $1.99 per issue or $9.99 for six issues. According to The Atlantic, 6,500 subscriptions have been sold since launch.

Minnesota became the 12th state, and the 3rd this month, to grant equal rights of marriage to gay and lesbian couples.

Gov. Mark Dayton signed the bill into law Monday soon after the majority Democrat Senate approved the measure 37-30. The law was approved by the House last week.

The gay rights victory comes less than a week after Delaware approved same sex marriage. Coupes there can marry as soon as July 1, but Minnesota hopefuls will have to wait an additional month to August.

Approved same sex marriage in Minnesota is a clear message that equality is the way of the future. Six months ago, state voters thwarted a proposed ban on gay marriage. "Voters in Minnesota brought anti-equality efforts to a screeching halt on Election Day, and today state leaders in St. Paul made it clear that all Minnesota families are equal in the eyes of the law," says Human Rights Campaign (HRC) president Chad Griffin.
