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.

Regional lawyers have ruled that Latvia's City Council acted unjustly in barring last year's gay pride parade. Hoorah!

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.

Mon, Apr 9

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...

The bad thing about Calgary, Alberta is that all but a couple of the gay clubs have closed in the last year (one gay we talked to said that as the city gets bigger the gay community is getting smaller). The upside though is that the few clubs that are left draw quite a crowd.

The place to be on most nights is the Twisted Element, and Tuesday night there was gay karaoke in their lounge, which you have to enter from the back alley (we're just used to it by now).

We had a great time singing some old country songs and meeting the locals while drinking $2 draft beer. The host of the night is actually a famous Canadian celebrity that we ended up interviewing for Queerty, but for now we'll let you guess who he is based on the far-away photo after the jump.

Monday nights can be rough in any city, except maybe New York, for the diehard party-goer (or travelling queer blogger in this case), but we found a cozy gay spot right in downtown Calgary called Backlot. You have to walk down an alley to get to the entrance (what else is new in midwestern Canada?), but once inside it is a welcoming place with a beautiful little backyard garden that reminded us a bit of Metropolitan Bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Add on to the nice surroundings some cute locals and really cheap beer and you have a winning evening. Check out some photos of the nicely appointed place after the jump.

Having moved last year to Saskatoon from Calgary, David is pursuing a painting career and seems happy with his choice despite the small gay scene in Saskatoon. Since we're heading to Calgary tomorrow, we thought it fitting to print an interview with a native who left it all behind. After the jump, David tells us about the Saskatoon gay scene and also a bit about why he left Calgary.
