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.)

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?

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...

Nothing New In First Primary Go

demspurpleH1.jpg
The eight democratic presidential contenders took center stage in South Carolina last night for the campaign's first primary debate. While people expected an explosion of emotion, we received a trickle of decidedly lackluster contentions over contentious issues such as the war in Iraq, health care and the unfortunately timely topic of gun control.

The war dominated the debate, with Hillary Clinton insisting she regrets her vote to send our troops to Iraq, but insisting, "I take responsibility." Well, yes, we should think so. All the candidates expressed their intentions to end the increasingly protracted battle. Though vying for the same job, the Democrats kept things civil, with only Edwards taking a light jab at Clinton over her vote. (To be fair, he also took a jab over his well-coiffed, $400 hair, for which his campaign paid until recently.) Barack Obama told the audience - including predictably boring moderator, Brian Williams - that he's proud to have opposed the war from the get-go.

Civil unions came up briefly, with Williams lobbing the old "civil unions v. gay marriage" question to Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut. Skirting the issue, Dobbs started by imploring conservatives to imagine how they would feel if their children were gay and the government restricted their rights. Gay love deserves political approval, but not in the form of gay marriage. Way to court the center, Dodd.

Over all, the debates played like the run for class president, with each candidate playing up their positives and making themselves look as respectable as possible. Those of you looking for blood-letting - keep in mind the games have only begun. We're sure things will get ugly any day now.

tom malin.jpegTom Malin, the gay hooker who found God and tried to find his way into elected office, lost the Democratic primary for Texas.

We are brokenhearted at this ghastly turn of events. We feel for Malin, knowing how hard it can be to step out of a pile of scandal and put your best foot forward. We're also dying to know if, with his checkered past, his pursuit of a seat in political office was an act of great bravery, or if he's just really stupid.

Malin ran on a platform of "education, the economy, and restoring a 'spirit of ethics' to [the] State House," and based on his illustrious past, we can't imagine why that stance didn't work out for him. It should be noted that he did receive a whopping 45% of the vote. No one ever said hookers can't sell themselves well. And speaking of: since politics haven't worked out, Malin could always go back to his former career of selling Mary Kay cosmetics. He was good, he got the pink Cadillac and everything.
