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...

• The Soulforce Arrestmobile stops off in Utah, at Brigham Young University; five people get cuffed. We're not sure what they were expecting. After all, this is the school that kicked out Julie from The Real World New Orleans, after she was filmed sleeping in the same room as a boy--and sharing a house with a homosexual! Mormons don't mess around, just watch Big Love and you'll see. [Salt Lake Tribune]
• Also in the "no duh" category: San Francisco has been officially recognized as the world's gayest city, with 20% of all men being of the homosexual variety. Big fun. Although we didn't know 25% of them have HIV. Not that San Francisco is a hotbed of HIV infections; in fact, the city is seeing a 10% drop in HIV infections among gay men.
We presume the high numbers are a result of people with HIV moving to San Francisco, to take advantage of the excellent health care, as well as HIV+ people who are generally much healthier with the current medications available than they were in the past. [Reuters]
• Chrysler Motors is drawing the ire of an ever-increasing mass of people for it's "Silly Little Fairy" ads. We've watched the commercial a few more times, and we agree it's pretty rude. There's laughing with, and then there's laughin at. We're just wondering: where is the "Gay And Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation" (GLAAD) in all of this? Oh, handing out awards to Charlize Theron for a movie she did three years ago, so they can sell tickets to a party and keep the money. They're much to busy to be doing any actual work countering defamation. [ConsumerAffairs] and [24/7Gay]
• Luscious lesbian Portia de Rossi, girlfriend of Ellen DeGeneres, finally comes out to her 99-year-old grandmother. Grandma's response: "I knew you were living with Ellen and all this time I was thinking, I hope that lesbian isn't hitting on my granddaughter!'" [PinkNews]
• Big Love isn't doing well in the ratings--and that's too bad, because it is some good, twisted shit. And the constant shoutouts to the gays are much appreciated. [NYT]
• We were waiting for this one: Mandisa, who uses American Idol as her platform for spreading the word of Jesus, supports ex-gay ministries. Ugh. She could have been the next gay icon. [TheAdvocate]
• Apparently a lot of people in Phoenix have sex with animals. And be forewarned: to get a job with the police, they'll polygraph-test you about it. [EastValleyTribune]
