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.

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...

Political Porn Keeps Popping Up

gaytanamoWI.jpg
No doubt the world of porn qualifies as wild. With all those hot bodies, infinite positions and dirty imaginations, the adult film industry is one monstrous jungle of sexual kicks. But what happens when those kicks get political? Can the lascivious be judicious?

Gaytanamo drew fire even before anyone lost precious fluids. In early January, The Washington Blade accused Jersey-based production company, Dark Alley Media of “fisting their way out of the Geneva Convention.” Here at Queerty, we wondered why Matthias von Fistenberg and Owen Hawk chose to name their porn after Guantánamo Bay: the controversial American holding facility where terror suspects are subject to psychological and physical torture. Hawk told us:

Gaytanamo does not trivialize peoples suffering, but uses images and representations in order to attempt change in perception.
...
When we are put in front of the reality of our own violent desires, we are no doubt uncomfortable. But it is precisely because [we] are not put in front of these desires -- and therefore never get to understand them -- that policies born out of this repression, a la Guantanamo, are even possible.
Now, Queerty contributor James Withers offers his take on Gaytanamo conflict, after the jump.

Well, The Cool Kids Do, At Least...

If you thought Elton John's party looked fun, you should check out some pictures from this weekend's Independent Spirit Awards. Melissa Etheridge may not have won, but Little Miss Sunshine took home a bunch of honors, including best feature and best supporting actor for Alan Arkin.

We've included some pictures after the jump. They're all Polaroidy and shit. It is, after all, a celebration of independent spirits. When you're done looking them over, you can see more here. They won't be as big, though. Sorry.

(Or: Translation, Please?)

questionmark.jpg
We were just giving ourselves a little poke and came across a comment on Tuesday's Daniel Craig-related post. (For the amnesiacs out there, it seems Craig got a little grumpy with homo-journo Johann Hari after Hari complimented his body.) With regard to that post, a reader named Katie had this to say:

u lot r all fags hes da best if ya fink hes a twat ur da 1 dats needz mental help
We think we're supposed to be offended, but we're just confused.

Also, we can't help but wonder if Katie's related to homo-hating reader Randal. Remember him from our legendary post, Crazy Man Emails Us Crazy Email of Craziness? If they're not related, perhaps they're soul mates. Although it is possible they're both related and soul mates. You know how those things go...

You "Fucking Fool"

craigdh.jpg
Yow, seems like Daniel Craig's a little touchy about his looks. British homo-journo Johann Hari of The Independent apparently told the James Bond actor he's looking well and got an earful, Pink News UK reports.

When we first spoke, he was in a vile mood. I just made a joke about how great he looked in his shorts in the film.

There were so many ways he could have reacted. But instead, he called me a fucking fool. I hadn't said it nastily.

He could have just smiled and said he wasn't in the mood for a joke. But he was actively rude and seemed to snarl at me.

Apparently Craig's tired of people paying more attention to his body than his acting. Poor thing...

It's All About Flow...

• Someone buy Carson Kressley's book for Carson Kressley, please! (Thanks, Radar.)

• Maybe Kressley can then give the book to Ontario's Health Minister, George Smitherman - he's marrying his long-time beau this summer.

• We're sure President Bush won't be invited. We're also sure he'll be really offended. You know, because he's so compassionate.

• Here's a little tonic for your upset tummy: rumor has it that John Barrowman may sign on to play a seductive gay villain opposite Daniel Craig's James Bond.

• After you're done thinking about Barrowman getting naked with Bond, why not think about some of the most famous young designers, some of whom we'd like to get naked with, too. After we play dress up, of course.

• Now you've picked out your wardrobe, allouw John Mayer to provide a lesson in how not to open an interview with Ryan Seacrest, "You’re like the Anderson Cooper of E!” Oh, wait, actually, we think every interview with Ryan Seacrest should start like that...

Now, if only they'd share their secrets!

Dornan1.jpg
A friend just sent us the first public shots from Out Magazine's photo shoot with Jamie Dornan, the phenomenally beautiful Calvin Klein model who plays Kirsten Dunst's lover in Marie Antionette. Looking pretty fly there, Mr. Dornan...

As if drooling over Dornan isn't reason enough, the ever-improving fag rag turns its homo-gaze toward Bond (James Bond, that is) with a Mark Simpson feature on Bond's metrosexuality and a spy themed fashion editorial (we'd share those pics with you, but they're top secret - and already on the website) for the release of Casino Royale.

Also in this issue - which should hit stands by the end of the week - the Out boys unveil a new look. EIC Aaron Hicklin uses his editorial letter as explanation:

“If you don’t grow and change, you die,” explained long time James Bond producer Barbara Brocolli earlier this year, after dumping Pierce Brosnan in favor of Daniel Craig, a guy who actually has more than one facial expression. Brocolli’s axiom may be particularly relevant to Bond, who—post Austin Powers—is becoming a parody of a parody of a parody, but it also applies to magazines. As you will have noticed, we’ve been doing some growing and changing of our own of late, introducing new writers and photographers, and expanding the fashion coverage, culminating in the redesign you see here. We think it’s a handsome new look that better reflects the tone and style of the content, and think that you will, too.

We could wax philosophical on the mag's new direction and all that, but we'd rather try to imagine Dornan naked. You can, too. Where? After the jump, you crazy kids!

(Loyal readers may notice we've changed some text here - we apologize if we got you all excited by mentioning a Daniel Craig shoot and Kirsten Dunst's involvement in the issue. Our brains are all mush thanks to the Dornan shots. Not surprisingly, other parts of our anatomy aren't so soft...)

How many people can say they've kissed James Bond? Well, considering there have been about a million Bond movies, a lot. So, how many men can say they've kissed James Bond? Toby Jones certainly can.

In "Infamous", the new bio-pic about Truman Capote, Jones gets a bit of action from Daniel Craig (pictured), who will be debuting as the new blond Bond in the forthcoming "Casino Royale". In the jail house scene, Capote visits murderer Perry Smith, with whom he reportedly had a complicated, homoerotic relationship.

Discussing the kiss, Jones describes it as, "slightly abrasive, ultimately rewarding." Of course it was rewarding: you're kissing Daniel Craig in a prison cell. Although, if we were getting paid movie-star wages, we'd kiss Daniel Stern in a shit house and still feel rewarded. And disgusted.

• Man sends mail-bomb to plastic surgeon after unsatisfactory penile enlargement surgery. We'll never laugh at those overcompensating "I drive a Corvette because my penis is small" guys again. [10News]

• Note to Christian Right: We gays really are recruiting now. You can even take a college class on gay parenting. While we're teaching people how to be gay: how about a class on teaching gay guys to throw a ball? Because everyone here at Queerty throws like limp-wristed girls, and our softball team is going to get annhilated. [GayWired]

danielcraigap.jpegDaniel Craig, the new (and very sexy!) James Bond, is already a gay icon. Or so he thinks. We've always thought 007 needs to have a gay spy, anyway. Perhaps 008? Since most gay guys claim to be "8" anyway, it makes sense. [Yahoo]

What would you do if a hunky working-class robber broke into your apartment? British painter Francis Bacon ordered such an intruder to strip, and then to intrude further. He and George Dyer, such was the miscreant’s name, became lovers in one of those S and M arrangements that you just know has to end with somebody getting hurt.

Daniel Craig

In this case, the sadistic one killed himself. The silver lining in the homo storm cloud, though, is that this wholesome tale was made into a BBC movie and is available from Amazon.com. Derek Jacobi plays Francis Bacon, so any way you cut it he is bound to be called “Sir” at some point.

For the ultimate recommendation for this film, Love Is The Devil, we turn to the Show Biz Maven, who says: “Bacon is comfortable in The Colony, his favorite haunt, where there are more social outcasts than in a John Waters movie." The actor who portrays the very promiscuously gay George Dyer, recently anointed as James Bond, is Daniel Craig. Things that make you go hmmmmm.
