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...

Ellen

Hillary Clinton and Ellen DeGeneres will be going to a show but won’t be hitting the clubs when Ellen comes to NYC for Thanksgiving. Does Henrietta Hudson’s count?

Daniel Craig is the new James Bond. This is the first time Bond has been played by a blond. Blond, James Blond.

Coldplay may pull an Erasure or Madonna. Their next sound could be very ABBA according to Apple’s dad Chris Martin. Then again it could be a “transvestite” sound, which means they will start lip-synching Whitney Houston records.

• The gay movie Loggerheads opens in New York and Los Angeles today and the NY Times thinks it is worth checking out. And it has nothing to do with getting to see newcomer Kip Pardue shirtless.

• San Francisco pop artist and local television personality Tim Gaskin “will take the new oral (non-blood, saliva) HIV antibody test which produces a result in 20-minutes, live” on-air of OUT Spoken, the San Francisco talk show. This is a first.

• “People who drive large four-wheel drive vehicles are more likely to be fat, conservative men who dislike homosexuals,” a new Australian survey reveals. So it's just like America.

Kate Bush

Kate Bush is the iconic singer who simply vanished from the face of pop music more than 10 years ago. Today her fans are saying their prayers; she releases a double album entitled Ariel in November.

Bush's cult following is akin to Tori Amos and Bjork, two women who note Ms. Bush as a musical influence. Before Bush there was no cultish, mythical figure in music. Our icons were disco divas(Donna Summer), singer-songwriters(Joni Mitchell), grand stage dames (Judy Garland), and R&B songstresses(Diana Ross). Ms. Bush made it acceptable to be a little strange. And gay men loved her for it.

Her records are unique and experimental and every one of them critically hailed. Most women in rock today have been influenced by her and even Colplay's Chris Martin said he tried to capture the rhythm of her hit Running Up That Hill on his band's latest single, Speed of Sound. We cannot wait for return.
