DOSSIER: Naked Jocks in ESPN … Hillary Won’t Seek White House …
ON OUR GAYDAR — News, notes, clicks, and quips from around the web.
• ESPN‘s “Body” issue doesn’t just feature a naked Serena Williams, but some naked male jocks, too.
• In case you’re a reporter who needs to diversify your LGBT media contacts.
• Mickey Rourke isn’t sorry for calling a reporter a “faggot.”
• The beating that led to Craig Cohen’s death will not be investigated as a hate crime, despite urging from friends and activists. Officials say they don’t have enough evidence.
• Has your teacher ever asked: “How would you feel about your tax dollars going to pay some black fag in New York to take pictures of other black fags?”

• Well this is curious: Homophobic Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov will join Hillary Clinton in a monument ceremony for gay poet Walt Whitman.
• Hillary Clinton insists she will not run for president again. At least not in 2012.
• Uruguay’s transgender citizens will be able to finally change their legal names.
• Homophobes troll the Facebook pages of major media outlets, too.
Drop the towel
love it, love it, love it. can you imagine a mainstream sports publication running photos of both naked women AND men even ten years ago? i think not.
Thank you for that Querty.
watch all the conservative stores refuse to carry this issue…

Actually I remember in 1996(?) there was a major magazine, I think it may have been TIME, that did a naked issue of all the American Olympians. I remember b/c I was in 6th grade and snuck it home from school, then my mom found it in my room and freaked. lol.
On the subject of the teacher and the anti-gay remarks, I once had an algebra II teacher ask (in front of the entire class) “What do you call a gay person on rollerskates?” Her answer was, regrettably, “rollaids.” Not being out at the time, I said nothing but I’ll be damned if that wasn’t one of the most offensive and disrespectful remarks I’ve ever heard a teacher make.
I quite like ESPN’s body issue. It’s far more fair and dignified than Sports Illustrated. The latter is an appallingly sexist rag which treats women as sex objects and nothing more.
