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...

• We can't even attempt to do Jim David's attack on the anti-gay GOP justice:
The hysterical right wing response to the House passage of the hate crimes bill [equates] gays with terrorists: if Al Qaeda doesn't get you, Al Gayda will.And it only gets better, especially when he goes after the gay conservatives. Bitch is on a roll...They claim that the bill will criminalize antigay speech, which of course it won't. They will still be able to say nasty things about gays, they just won't be able to beat them up, which, of course, most of them want to do.
• Mollygood - our Hollywood-obsessed virtual cousin - has a new look. Oh, and we think straight editor Cord Jefferson has a crush on the newly-hunky Marc Jacobs. Pass it on...
• Meanwhile, we totally have a crush on Brothers and Sisters' queer creator, Robbie Baitz.
• And Liv Tyler wants Karolina Kurkova's titties. (Also, Jessica Simpson and reality have apparently had a nasty break-up. Tragic.)
• What's queer about fall's television schedule? How about Bryan Singer, Footballer's Wives, Darren Star and Bobby Cannavale, of Will & Grace, The Night Listener and a slew of other gay-themed shows/movies/etc...
• The Bible-spouting, gay-hating Floridian airport employee totally got canned. Now you queens can fly into Fort Lauderdale without hearing the blasphemous manipulation of Biblical text. Hooray!
• We never knew Isabella Blow, but we still think she's rad.
• Out's Equus-inspired, Chad White-starring, Francois Rousseau-shot, Sam Jaradeh-styled photo shoot may be one of the hottest spreads we've seen in a long time. (In print, of course.) Even if you've seen the paper edition, you'll definitely want to head over to the magazine's website to take an exclusive peek at White's oh-so-beautiful bum. It's really quite delicious...

We've got two bits of television news for you. The first come to us via our cousin Mollygood who, in turn, got it from those rascals over at Glitterati. Rumor has it that The L-Word's Kristanna Loken, who plays Paige, is so fed up with her castmate's attitude problems that she's leaving the show. Of the show's lady-heavy cast, she says:
It's an entire show of women. And the amount of egos and insecurities and cattiness that can go on with a bunch of women - that's what you get.Yes, well, we can imagine things get a little hairy when you guys are all in sync and shit.[The Show] attracts certain people that want to do something different in their career, but the girls were tough. It's a big, ensemble cast. And sometimes you wonder if they've bit off more than they can chew.
The second bit of news isn't really lesbianic, but it does come to us from the chicks over at AfterEllen, who got it from The Hollywood Reporter. They're reporting that former Warrior Princess Lucy Lawless has signed on to play Tanya for the American update of British sudster, Footballer's Wives.

Fans of the original remember coke-snorting, baby-switching, husband hopping, long nail wielding Tanya Turner as being played by Zoe Lucker. While we can't say we're thrilled by the update, we're glad the producers didn't give the role to an American.
No offense, ladies, but we're not sure you could pull it off with quite the right zest.

What's more exciting than a little lesbianic cover art? The announcement that the American Broadcasting Network (aka ABC) has commissioned a yank version of everyone's favorite British sudster, Footballer's Wives. Of course, the show won't be called Footballer's Wives, but Football Wives, taking place in the less glamorous but potentially just as scandalous NFL, AfterElton reports.
Though it's unlikely the American version will follow the British version's exact storylines, fagalas are already anticipating a little homo love affair a la Conrad and Noah (played by Ben Price and Marcel McCalla, respectively). Although, considering that the pilot will be directed openly gay Bryan Singer (of the two good X-Men movies and Superman) and penned by known homosexual Marco Pennette, we wouldn't be surprised by a little cock-love.
While gay love's certainly a plus, we just want some Tanya Turner coke-blowing, baby switching insanity (for a sample of her fabulous camp style, click here). And, of course, that classic scene of Chardonnay "Crispy Tits" Pascoe's boobies going up in flames. Genius!
(Also, we've been scratching our heads over which American actress can hold her own as T.T. We're coming up empty. Any suggestions, readers?)
We know our readers are the cream of the cultural crop. As such, we know you guys love the ridiculously entertaining British sudster, Footballer's Wive$ as much as we do. And, of course, we j'adore the money grubbing coke head super bitch, Tanya Turner.
While her lil' sister rehashes old Tanya stories on the second-rate spin-off, Footballers Wive$: Extra Time, we can't stop pining for the original bad girl. We have no idea when series five of the real Footballer's will be airing here in The States, so we'll have to quench our Tanya thirst with a classic clip.
For those of you not in the know: Tanya and Nurse Dunkley had schemed together against Frank. Insanity ensued and, of course, their story began to unravel. Yeah, that's about all you need to know...
(What? It's Friday and gross here in NYC, we needed a little something. And, we suspect, you do, too.)
