Hundreds of Sacramento-area students rallied to support four students suspended for wearing anti-gay shirts. One participant said: "It's only going to get worse against Christians. We're going to get persecuted more and more. But those who stand to the end: God is going to save them." Um, right...
Sony's banking on Spider Man 3. Literally. Some insiders claim the flick cost $300 million to produce. No doubt, however, it'll make it back. And then some.
The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission will honor Nepal's Blue Diamond Society for all their hard activist work. Unfortunately, they will not be honored with actual blue diamonds.

Maryland's House has passed a bill requiring health insurance companies to extend benefits to same-sex partners and children. The bill now needs to be signed by the governor to become a law. (We totally just had a School House Rock flashback.)
GLAAD's celebrating the tenth anniversary of Ellen Degeneres' coming out with a month full of flag-waving faggotry.
Sri Lanka may forbid homosexuality, but that's not stopping gay activists from planning a pride event. Trouble is, they don't have any money. Do you?
In an effort to make a more single friendly album, Madonna has joined forces with Justin Timberlake and uber-producer Timbaland. If they can't help her sales, no one can...
The House Judiciary Committee isn't fucking around with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. They've just issued a subpoena for more documents regarding the allegedly illegal firing of federal prosecutors. Nail him to the wall, kids!
New York has agreed to extend benefits to employee's same-sex partners. About fucking time, no?
Mario Vasquez still claims he's not gay. But, of course, the interview took place before that whole sexual harassment lawsuit, so who knows...
Don Imus may have called them "nappy-headed hos", but the Rutgers Women's basketball team has agreed to have a little sit-down. We hope they give it to him good.
Robbie Williams may have ditched Take That! to embrace his bad boy image, but some are saying the recently rehabbed singer's mulling a musical reunion. Um, is that supposed to be a career booster or a death rattle?
21-year old Akino George has been sentenced to eight years in prison for his role in the beating of gay singer, Kevin Aviance. Like his violent cohorts, George copped a plea. Smart fucker...

Alexis Arquette's never been accused of being a wallflower. And she definitely made an impression yesterday when she arrived at the press conference for her Tribeca documentary, Alexis Arquette She's My Brother. Sporting an animal print dress, the blond actress and Hollywood royal posed for photographers, laughing, "Are you ready for me?" We were born ready. Arquette, on the other hand: not ready to be a boy.
Thus, the 36-year old underwent gender reassignment surgery, a year-and-a-half transitory journey documented in the film. Though willing to capture her emotional transition, Arquette's not about to reveal all her secret.
It got to the point when I wasn't willing to answer the questions about hormones, surgeries, or genitalia because it felt like backstepping. It wasn't a subject that needs any more exploitation; it needs clarification.
When asked about what led to her surgery, Arquette refuses to get into the essentialist/constructionist debate (that is, gender identity's formed at birth or through external influences):
I don't know why I feel this way. Is me feeling female the same as J.Lo feeling black? I don't know. I don't know why she feels that way.The details aren't as important as awareness and, of course, acceptance.
As with LA Times jocko-journo, Mike Penner, Arquette's made it her mission to spread the tranny word, thus insuring women such as herself won't sink into the background.
(On a side note: is Arquette not the spitting image of Nicky Hilton?)

"When asked about what led to her surgery, Arquette refuses to get into the essentialist/constructionist debate (that is, gender identity's formed at birth or through external influences)"-->I was a gay man doing drag...and I got laid more often as a chick
