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?

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...

Boycotts
Thu, Mar 16, 2006

Now that the boycott on Coors products is pretty much dead, gays have a new beverage to avoid like poison: Fiji Water.

Fiji police (would you say "Fijian"? "Fijish"? "Fijiese"?) charged two men with sodomy, after they caught them having sex in one of the men's beach home. One man was an Australian tourist; the other was a local.

Fiji's courts ruled that sodomy laws are unconstitutional, but the government refuses to repeal the law. We're not sure how that works, but it sounds like logic that Mitt Romney from Massachusetts would enjoy.

We plead with the government of Fiji to please change their stance on their anti-gay laws. Although this boycott is easy, as there are plenty of other Pacific island that we can take trips to instead, and the bottled water is oddly thick and heavy on the palette and we think it sucks anyway.

Feel like you just read about the American Family Association boycotting the Ford Motor Company, like, just yesterday? While it wasn’t days ago, it was only a few short months back. Yes, the AFA has reinstated their boycott. And this time they’re bringing along 44 of their best (read: homophobic) friends - organizations all seemingly with either “family” or “marriage” in their names. All because Ford is still supporting the gay community.

They've also added an entire laundry list of specific reasons as to why they’re so ticked at Ford.

One of the reasons listed is Ford’s sponsorship of the London Mardi Gras. And, in order to show to their angelic supporters the debaucheries of gays they don’t link to just any old Mardi Gras site. They link to a gay porn site.

We just wonder why is the American Family Association so concerned about what happens in the United Kingdom?

Still, we’re glad the AFA is back in the news. They’d been so quiet after their Book of Daniel boycott, that we were starting to worry. We’ve missed them so.
