Well, in a twist of ironic fate, Robinson's husband, N.I.'s First Minister, Peter Robinson and his office will be giving gay groups about £80,000 in grants this year: It has further been revealed that money from the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister (OFMDFM) helped fund this year's Gay Pride parade in Belfast. Politics, strange bedfellows and all that. |

We hear that Eric Hyett, the gay man who took his 2-year old son to Israel without getting the son's other father's approval, has been arrested. Coppers reportedly got him in Boston as he arrived back in the States. He's being held here in NYC. The son's back here, as well, and living with his other father, Joshua Glazer. |

There is still speculation that he is lying about not being the father of Rielle Hunter's baby, he was dis-invited to the current par-tay for the DNC in Denver this week, and now he can't even get a hold of his former friends and staffers to apologize. The story plays out like Edward's staffers were the ones personally betrayed by the affair. |

Gay people are mad at Out owner Paul Colichman for saying he won't endorse Barack Obama. Neal Boulton, who works for rival Genre, said, "By tearing up his check for Obama, he basically wrote one to McCain." Boulton doesn't really care, of course - he just wanted his name in an item about Barack Obama. [NY Post] |

Remember when Donald Hitchcock and the Democratic National Committee failed to work out their differences over Hitchcock's discrimination lawsuit? Well, the DNC offered him $100,000 to drop the suit. He refused, obviously. [POQ] |

First they booted Paul Donahoe and Kenny Jordan from the wrestling team after it was revealed the boys had posed for a gay porn website. Now a reader points out that higher up have edited out NCAA champ Donahoe's entire existence! Here's the image collection for the 06-07 season, but fails to include pictures of Donahoe winning that year's NCAA wrestling championship, evidence of which sort of exists in an archived version of the same collection. Good thing we have the picture above, which we'll cherish forever! |

Eric Hyett and Joshua Glazer will continue their custody battle here in the states. An Israeli judge ruled yesterday that the men and their child, Jedediah, must return to New York to hash out their custody battle. Hyett took Jebediah to Israel earlier this month, a move Glazer called "kidnapping." The Israelis, however, disagreed with that description, according to Hyett. |
|
Well, now Glazer's lawyers are offering their own take on the matter, especially Hyett's claims that Glazer lied to an Israeli court. Though he won't offer any new comments, Glazer representative Sam Ferrara had this to say: Other than to confirm that the version of events presented to you by Mr Hyett is factually inaccurate and can be best borne out by the court documents, as well as assure you that the Israeli court did NOT make any determination based upon unsubstantiated allegations, we cannot comment further pending the upcoming hearings. Hyett and Glazer face off in Israel tomorrow. |

Sodomy charges hang heavy over Malaysian politico Anwar Ibrahim, the former deputy Prime Minister who hopes to make a comeback in elections this month. Even if he wins, Ibrahim could still face 20-years in prison. Sixty-one percent of voters, however, feel the accusations are political. [Sun Times] |

The 27-year old appeared on a New Zealand radio show this week and, for some reason, the conversation turned to fashion, at which point McFadden boldly declared straight men shouldn't wear pink. That's a common enough argument, although a bit tired and trite. Good think McFadden grabbed our attention with his offensive explanation: "Saying pink is a form of red is the same as saying homosexual is a form of male." If we're not male, what's with this penis? The gays aren't pleased, of course. Activist Robert Marshall remarked, "It's the sort of stuff that gets said every day in the schoolyard. A lot of young people are quite impressionable, and when they see celebrities saying stuff like that, they think it's OK to say it themselves." Meanwhile, doesn't McFadden (center) look absolutely smashing mincing about at Sydney's Dolly Teen Choice Awards? Fabulous, darling! Update: Well, look at that: Brian McFadden wearing pink. Gawd, what a homo! [Image] |

For those of you not paying attention, ManHunt co-founder Jonathan Crutchley came under fire this week for contributing the maximum donation to Republican presidential hopeful John McCain's campaign.

The John Edwards affair scandal may be getting a new chapter: "The Enquirer has uncovered that Edwards' political operatives are still paying his mistress Rielle Hunter - and she was whisked away on a private jet two days before he confessed their extramarital affair on national TV!… After Edwards confessed the affair to his wife, he restarted it, and was sexually involved with Rielle when she became pregnant." [National Enquirer] |

Generally, the devout frown on the cheating-on-your-wife thing, and especially the cheating-on-your-ill-wife thing. And the Catholics, who spend much of their time warning followers about spending eternity in hell, are quick to point out sins. Including those made by the media at large. Hope you've got your holy water in a bottle with a squirt spout top! |

So, now they're out and the school's athletics department released the following statement about the boys, who have both been fined for alcohol-related offenses: The history of behavior of these men, including the current matter, does not reflect the standard of excellence we aspire to on and off the matter. We have outstanding student-athletes in our program and we will move forward in a positive manner toward our goals. Taking a look at the NSFW gallery, we're sure many of the fans are less embarrassed and more enticed. That sucks for Donahoe and Jordan, though… |
