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.)

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?

Great!

Some homo-loving Connectiut lawmakers have proposed a bill that will allow gay people to marry. Appropriately, the bill will be introduced on February 14th.

The Boston Globe reports:

Two Democratic lawmakers said Wednesday that they will introduce a bill to allow gay marriage within the next two weeks.

Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell has vowed to veto such a bill, but Sen. Andrew McDonald, D-Stamford, and Rep. Michael Lawlor, D-East Haven, co-chairmen of the Judiciary Committee, said they plan to press ahead anyway.

Lawlor and McDonald said they plan to introduce their bill by Feb. 14, the deadline for new legislation.

The kids will certainly have their lovey-dovey work cut out for them.

In fact, the battle's already begun. Family Institute of Connecticut president Brian Brown got all haterific by convening a press conference urging lawmakers to hold a state-wide referendum on the matter. McDonald pointed out that state law doesn't allow such a tally, but opponent Lou DeLuca says he'll push for one once the matter reaches the Senate floor. Super!

(You kids may have noticed we erroneously reported that this was happening in Massachusetts. It's not. It's Connecticut. We blame sleep deprivation. Apologies)

Lawmakers Let Out A Sigh of Apathy

massflag.jpg
Now that Massachusetts lawmakers have voted to reconsider the state's pioneering gay marriage laws, VoteOnMarriage.org has graciously rescinded their $5million lawsuit. The anti-gay activist group first filed the suit after politicians called a recess last month before the vote could go through, thus stalling the controversial issue. Lawmakers fired back, calling the legal threats "frivolous", especially considering that legislative folk such as themselves cannot be sued for their motions. With this week's vote, lawyer Glen Lavy said, "Now that the Legislature has chosen to do the right thing and vote, there is no need for this lawsuit to continue." He went on to say, "That's the most obvious thing in the entire world."
