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.

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.)

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...

Perhaps it's not the liberal university we take it for?

"Yale Gluttony," read the flag on Yale's campus. Not "Yale Pride," as the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Cooperative had started with.

The flag, hung on a gate in the university's Cross Campus to celebrate Pride Week, used duct tape to spell out the words. But by Saturday night, the duct tape had been reassembled to send a much different message.

The incident, of course, comes on the heels of last October's fracas during National Coming Out Day, where a fictional "National Organization to Gain Acceptance for Your Sins," or "NO GAYS," sent out an email calling homosexuality a sin. Thus far, the organization has yet to determine what course of action, if any, it will take.

Paint, instead of duct tape, might be a start.

Oh, the glory days of university. Tossing a firsbee on the quad. Studying for finals with your hot French tutor. Learning "liquor before beer, you're in the clear" isn't always true. And, of course, the athletic teams. Us? We were privy to our men's soccer team — we cheered when shorts got pulled down (and when our team scored, of course). But football practice was always a favorite.

Two more clips of our orange shorts wonder, after the jump.

Michigan Tech University anti-gay homophobic graffiti

The concept of gay pride brings out a violent reaction in some people that we can't quite figure out. Whoever made this graffiti during Michigan Technical University's Pride Week was pretty pissed that the gays are celebrating themselves and tried to scare a few back into their dorms. After seeing the rest of the graffiti, we admit we are scared, but will not be staying indoors.

transgender symbol

A political science student at Ohio State University wrote a letter to the school newspaper expressing his outrage that trans students would receive hormone therapy as part of the student health plan. The student, Christopher Woodworth, offers some choice quotes, including this one:

OSU's Student Health Insurance Plan is going to provide hormone therapy to individuals suffering from Gender Identity Disorder. This is akin to providing handguns to individuals suffering from suicidal tendencies or providing liquor to alcoholics.

If you disagree with Mr. Woodworth, consider writing him a polite email explaining your difference in point of view.

Read the entire letter after the jump.

Now that everyone in the world is aware just how kinky Bill O’Reilly really is, he’s sending his producers to go undercover and do the dirty work for him. He had producer Jesse Watters crash (and videotape) the infamous SexPowerGod party put on by Brown University’s Queer Alliance each year.

So what kind of information did his in-depth investigative reporting uncover about this college party?

Watters, who told O'Reilly during the segment that he bought his ticket for $80 off the Internet, said he heard students having sex in the bathroom stall next to him and saw others having sex behind the DJ booth.

Watters said he observed "guys kissing guys and girls making out with girls."

"It was the wildest party I'd ever been to," he added.

Well as Bill would say, a party’s only a party when someone's broght the loofa.

When O'Reilly asked if the majority of attendees were gay, Watters said most were heterosexual, but added, "I think the core group that hosted the event was gay. That kind of set the tone for the rest of the party."

We won’t argue that gays throw the best parties. But poor Jesse had no idea what he would be exposed to; nubile young girls licking one other with freshly pierced tongues in the same room with inebriated boys touching one another. Is this what college students are up to nowadays? They don’t just lock themselves up in their rooms reciting Latin?

We suspect Bill took those tapes and added them to his “private collection.” What’s next up for heralders Bill and Jesse? An expose on goings on at the Playboy Mansion, perhaps?
