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...

April 18th marks the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network's 11th annual "Day of Silence", when thousands of students, teachers and parents shut their traps to raise awareness of anti-gay oppression. Participants are meant to carry a card explaining their muteness with a note asking readers, "What are you going to do to break the silence?"
Conservative groups, however, aren't having it. And, in fact, can't seem to shut their own traps about how much they oppose the idea. One coalition, NotOurKids, has planned a counter protest in which they'll keep their children at home, lest they be subjected to the silent sissie scourge. One concerned parent's comments, however, make us wonder if they actually thought their action through.
Founder of the California-based Mission America and NotOurKids participant, Linda says she's keeping her spawn home because "Teenagers deserve an opportunity to study... without being subjected to pro-homosexual proselytizing sanctioned by school authorities". Proselytizing? Interesting choice of words coming from a woman whose organization dedicated to spreading the word of Christ, but okay...

• Canada's new conservartive government wants to raise the heterosexual age of consent to 16, up from the current age of 14, with exceptions for partners close in age. It is a typically prudish move from the Stephen Harper government, and we shouldn't hold our breath waiting for them to lower the age of consent for gay sex from the current age of 18. So chicken-hawks beware: One false move and your ass could be in jail. [365 Gay]
• Sen. John McCain has now "reiterated" his unsupport of the Federal Marriage Amendment. Only last month he met with The "Rev." Jerry Falwell, who insisted that McCain saw the amendment as necessary. Either Falwell spoke a little too soon, or McCain has just been promoted to the higher echelons of the flip-floppers. [WashPo]
• Three North Carolina "roommates" have been arrested for castrating willing men in the "castration dungeon" in their home. The men apparently traveled a long way for the "procedure," but their consent is not a defense in court, since the three accused men were allegedly "practicing medicine without a license." We wonder if North Carolina has special licenses for castration artists who only wish to practice out of the comfort of their dungeon. We know Lambda Legal is going to jump all over this one. [Pink News]
• A 16-year-old in rural Colorado organized a GLSEN-sponsored Day of Silence, and found more support than he was expecting, mostly from girls. [Greeley Trib]
