• " 'Brooming' was the name given for the practice of poking a camper, while clothed, in the area of the butt," says future teacher (and son of an Arizona state senator) Clifton Bennett, who is facing charges that he assaulted young boys with a broom handle.

• Kids in California won't have to rely on their parents to teach them what "gay" is for much longer if a controversial new bill is passed that would require homosexuality to be addressed in a positive way in school textbooks. So now instead of "James Buchanan the bachelor President," California might teach "James Buchanan the possibly gay President who lived with a man that many called 'Aunt Fancy.'" [Pink News]
• A fraternity at the University of Vermont allegedly engaged in Brokeback Mountain-themed hazing, which is illegal in Vermont (hazing, not cowboys fucking). We hope that photos surface. [WCAX]

• Over 6,500 gay marriages have occurred in Massachusetts since the State Supreme Court ruled that queers should not be excluded from attending marriage counseling. Congrats, people.

• John Waters's "dog crap-eating tranny" state of mind invades the OC. His photography show is now at the Orange County Museum Of Art.
