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.

We've never quite understood Kate Moss and Pete Doherty's relationship. Now we do. And they're kind of cute. Still total nutters, but cute...

The fuzz may have been investigating theft at Atlanta's airport, but they found a bunch of horny gay men, instead. Now they're looking for more.

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?

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...

Artificial Insemination
Tue, Mar 14, 2006

turkey_baster

This is a tough one. A professor in New Zealand has angered many in the gay community for suggesting sperm recipients be told there might be a little ‘gay’ in that turkey baster. On one hand, it seems the man is claiming a genetic link to homosexuality (which most scientists agree with but has not yet been proven.) On the other hand, what are the reasons behind telling prospective parents they might soon have a friend of Dorothy?


Sin told The Dominion Post that it is "not daydreaming" to suggest that sexual orientation could be inherited. Animal models have clearly shown the existence of a gene that controls sexual behavior, he said. Though there is nothing so conclusive in human studies, there is strong evidence—particularly from studies on twins—of a significant genetic component. Though he has nothing against homosexuality, Sin said, he feels people have the right to know the trait could be passed on.

A woman visiting a sperm bank is told many things about the donor (eye color, height, ethnicity, etc.) and maybe sexuality is just another characteristic. That being said, why do we have a sneaking suspicion the bitches touting the proposed rule have an agenda to push?

• We spotted an Abercrombie-clad Jake Gyllenhaal at M Cafe in Hollywood yesterday lunching with a girl we think we can safely assume was only an assistant. Here's further proof that slender Jake really enjoys regular macrobiotioc meals.

Robbie Williams takes the Tom Crusie course of action when accused of being a homo. Sue 'em. And win.

• AMERICAblog has unearthed some interesting info about the identities of two Ford officials who met with AFA last week to discuss pulling ads from gay publications. Ford insists its decision was purely a "business" decision. Well we're insisting our boycott is a "business" decision as well.

• France only allows artificial insemination for straights, so dykes in that country are running for the Belgian border in order to get shot up with man juice.

• Boston College has requested a school-sponsored dance lose its gay theme. We don't see why. The only students that show up to those things are fags and fag hags anyway.

• New kidney recipient Steven Cojocaru apparently speaks for his mom: "I think for a mother to sit back and watch her child in pain is the worst kind of nightmare imaginable." Um, isn't that something that should be coming out of her mouth?

• For those boyfriend-less queens who also enjoy cuddling with dismembered body parts we present to you the item at the top of your gift list: the plush boyfriend arm pillow. Yeah, creepy as all shit.

• A California woman claims she was refused to be artificially inseminated by her doctors because she's a lesbian. She's suing them and the case might end up in the U.S. Supreme Court. All of this would have been easily avoided if she'd only gone to the same place as Tom and Katie.

• Warning: clicking on this link will expose you to paparazzi pics of Cynthia Nixon and her girlfriend. Don't say we didn't warn you.

• Spokane's mayor has fessed up to surfing gay sites on a city-owned computer. Pretty soon, we could all get a peak as to what kind of kinky stuff he's into.

• Andy has some hot shots of Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett rolling around on the ground together. This should appease us until Brokeback Mountain's rear entry scene.
