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.

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?

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?

A few weeks ago Paul Yandura, a former Clinton White House staffer and a once-loyalist to the Democratic Party, sent us an article published in the Washington Blade. The article was about Yandura: he encouraged gay people to stop donating money to Democrats--he apparently thinks Howard Dean, head of the DNC, sucks at his job and isn't doing enough to battle anti-gay sentiment in goverment. And he wanted to spread his message far and wide.
The problem: Yandura's partner, Donald Hitchcock, was the Executive Director of the Democratic National Committee’s Gay and Lesbian Leadership Council. Translation: Howard Dean was Donald Hitchcock's boss. A few days after that article, Dean fired Hitchcock. Boo-ya.
Everyone in Dean's camp denies he fired Hitchcock because of his BF's nasty comments, instead attributing it to "timing." Which means, of course, that Dean definitely fired Hitchcock because of his BF's nasty comments. He hired a Mr. Brian Bond for the job instead, who was then interviewed in The Advocate about the DNC's position on the fight against anti-gay marriage amendments and other assorted political conundrums. Bond's response? Political mush-mouth mumbo jumbo. Of course. In fact, the only committal answer he gave was about his partner: Bond promises his BF will keep his mouth shut.
The Democrats better get it together quick. We close our eyes and see the hologram of Princess Leia: "Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope." Maybe we can borrow it for the upcoming elections.

• What if our mom had kidnapped us to keep our dad from turning us gay? Our life would have turned out so differently. We might be married with kids and certainly not writing this fabulous blog. That would be awful! Thank goodness that the awful Florida woman who kidnapped her son for precisely that reason is no longer allowed any contact with her son. [365 Gay]
• Howard Dean fired the gay outreach director of the Democratic National Committee yesterday in what some see as an act of retaliation for harsh words offered up in April by the man's partner. Howard has been having a hard time with the gays lately, who have criticized him and the Committee for not doing more to counter all the anti-gay-marriage ballot initiatives that are floating in the air for the 2006 elections. [Washington Blade]
• Homophobic Russian asshole update: 39 of them have been arrested after causing violence for two days outside a gay club in Moscow. [Pink News]
• In Ireland a new study has revealed that there are 10,000 gay citizens who would marry if they were allowed by the law. Just think how good it would be for the traditional family if all those people could tie knot. [GCN]
