It's about time!!

After months of endless debate, the Boy Scouts of America finally voted to allow openly gay scouts to join their ranks!!

Over 60% of the 1,400 person polled think the youth organization should allow all qualified members, regardless of sexual orientation!!

Even though the a large percentage of the organization is run by those affiliated with Mormon and Catholic churches who are, sadly, sometimes unhip to LGBT tolerance, the measure was still able to pass!

The first hard fought battle was won, but plenty of work remains!!

Oliver Burton has cancer for the third time in his ten short years, and doctors are not optimistic.

So the brave little boy made a dying wish- to meet Queen Elizabeth II. But the Queen doesn't do that sort of thing.

Fortunately, The Queen does!

Zach Sobiech was just a normal 14-year-old teenager living in Minnesota when his doctors diagnosed him with osteosarcoma - a rare form of bone cancer.

After a long fight with the cancer, doctors told Zach he only had a few months to live. Zach turned to music and recorded a song called Clouds, a song about dealing with death, which has since gone viral and has been viewed by over three million fans!

So it is with a heavy heart that we bear the sad news that Zach passed away on Monday morning. He was 18 years old.

Here's what the Children's Cancer Research Fund said in a statement:

We just can't get enough of Ellen DeGeneres giving gifts, especially to those in need!

And between three kids and 80-hour workweeks, the Gosses could definitely use the money!

Ch-ch-check out the video (above) to see Ellen surprise the family with a phony customer service voice!

Their faces are priceless!!! Best prank call of all time!!!

OMG! This seriously makes our hearts want to explode!

For those of you who aren't familiar with Talia Castellano, this girl is TRULY an inspiration! The 13 year-old has been battling with cancer for most of her life, but that hasn't stopped her from doing what she does best: Fashion!

Talia has become a YouTube sensation for vlog on makeup tips, and she's grabbed the attention of Ellen DeGeneres and has even been named an honorary CoverGirl!

So when designer Urbana Chappa heard about the little fashionista, she just had to meet her for herself:

You don't meet 4th graders like this every day!

Zachary Maxwell knew something was wrong with the food being served at the school he attends in New York City.

But what could he do about it? He's only eleven years old!

It turns out he could do plenty!

The incredible young man secretly recorded the food his school was providing his peers and him.

Six months later - the little dude is getting some serious accolades for his short documentary entitled YUCK.

In fact - we hear Zachary has been asked to serve as "adviser to the New York City Department of Education’s Office of School Food".

So cool!

These days - Zachary brings his own lunch to school - which should tell you a little something about what he discovered while filming his exposé documentary.

Check out the amazing trailer for YUCK by watching the video (above) !!!
