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...

With all the hoopla over fag deficit on network television, we were particularly intrigued by a piece from The New Yorker's critic's notebook in which Joan Acocella yaks about the City Center's upcoming production of Russell Maliphant's "Torsion."
For those of you who don't know (don't feel bad, we didn't know, either) - "Torsion" revolves around the relationship between two men. Inextricably linked, the men dance together in pretty intimate variations (eg: the picture provided). In her piece, Acocella suggests that "Torsion" may mark a new era in the male dance duet. She writes:
Before the nineteen-eighties, male-male partnering was a rare sight on the dance stage. With gay rights, we started getting more male duets, but they tended to be narrow in feeling... With time, however, the male duet has grown larger, subtler. [In "Torsion"] The two men seem to be dancing about their friendship.
The dancers featured in this particular production, Michael Nunn and William Trevitt, boast heterosexual relations as part of the advance press, leading Acocella to conclude:
The two men seem to be dancing about their friendship... Just as with hip-hop, the minority story is being picked up by the mainstream - a sure sign that it's arrived.
See, GLAAD? There are positive images of gays out there - just not on tv and, well, not gay.
To see "Torsion" for yourself, head on over to The New York City Center this weekend

For those of us whose understanding of voguing and ball culture stops with Madonna's hit single and the film Paris Is Burning, we should spend a few minutes educating ourselves with the wealth of ball footage on YouTube. The tradition lives on, and there is a lot of video floating around.
Check out this video of femme queens voguing in the "new way," and after the jump see a "battle" between two queens, one of whom is wearing head-to-toe electric blue spandex.
