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...

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...

To coincide with the launch of the Bid 2 Beat AIDS auction Bradford Shellhammer chatted with Chip Duckett, legendary NYC party promoter and the man behind the auction.
Chip, how did you get involved with LIFEbeat and who came up with the Bid2Beat auction?
I've worked with LIFEbeat for over eleven years, and we've done many benefits together, from after-concert parties to dance nights, so we know each other very well. And I'm an admitted eBay addict, so it just seemed natural --- and happily, LIFEbeat agreed. This will be the ultimate celebrity tag sale!
Can you explain to our readers what LIFEbeat is all about?
LIFEbeat was founded in 1992 when Bob Caviano, Grace Jones' manager, wrote an editorial in Billboard disclosing the fact that he had AIDS and challenging the industry to mobilize. The response was terrific, and LIFEbeat was born. Over the years LIFEbeat has raised millions of dollars, which has gone to help small AIDS organizations nationwide, among other projects. Most importantly, it uses the power of music to reach young people. One of the coolest things LIFEbeat does is distributing HIV/AIDS information packages and condoms to hundreds of thousands of kids at concerts and clubs nationwide. Think about it --- many young people don't have access to this at school, and would be intimidated around their parents. At concerts, they are free to get this info!
What are you expecting to get the biggest bid in the auction?
That's hard to say --- there's a 2006 Vespa LX-50 sitting in the lobby of Sirius Satellite Radio, signed by Kanye West, Gloria Estefan, Garth Brooks, and about 50 other stars. But some wealthy, drunk drag queens may just battle it out for J. Lo's signed jogging suit or Beyonce's signed jeans and top that Vespa! (That means YOU, Dina Martina and Jackie Beat!)
Info on gay icons Lindsay Lohan, Madonna, and Bea Arthur after the jump.

Just when you thought it was safe to return to Queerty and not be bombarded with Madonna news, we decide to host a Madonna-themed contest! How gay.
1984 at the Pyramid has been one of our favorite parties for years. Where else can you pick up 21-year-old NYU boys while dancing to the classics: Paula Abdul, Whitney Houston, and Pat Benatar? The legendary Chip Duckett is the DJ, the drinks are strong, and the boys are young. Did we mention that already?
A Queerty reader is going to be treated like a VIP this Friday. 1984’s Halloween Madonna-thon is always a packed event. Perhaps you missed the Roxy this past weekend. Here is your chance to dance with Madonna again. It is all Madonna, all night.
We have a guest list spot for two with free admission for the queen who can tell us which Madonna look is their favorite and why. Winners will be notified Thursday.
