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...

The 2nd of our new interns is Anthony. He lives in NYC and will be writing and doing PR work for us. This is what he has to say about himself:
I am a Canadian transplant that arrived in New York last summer. Originally I trained and worked as an actor and from there I drifted into sales and finally to marketing. For the past ten years I have worked with pharmaceutical companies to create online marketing campaigns both locally and globally.Recently I decided it was time for a change and I quit the job, rented out the house, and moved here. I am hoping that by being in the city I will be able to work on writing and see where that takes me.
The picture was taken at Gloucester, MA where I stayed with friends this past summer.
Now we have a Canadian in the fold! Makes us super-exciting, no? Feel free to contact Anthony at anthony@queerty.com with any questions, story ideas, or comments.
In the next few weeks we’re going to ask you to say hello to our new interns. First up is Lance. Lance lives in Seattle and brings another West Coast perspective to the site. He’ll be writing, reporting, and searching for stories. Since he is 3,000 miles away from Queerty headquarters he’ll sadly miss traditional intern responsibilities like getting us coffee or cleaning the windows. Rather than listen to us, we’ll let Lance describe himself:
“My name is Lance. I work for a corporation; one of those huge nationwide corporations where you have an employee id number and use words like "metrics" and "collaborate" at least five times daily. I'm also a really gay black man. I'm 23 years old and entering my last quarter at the University of Washington where I'm completing my degree in Sociology. Working for the corporation sort of just happened to me—a means to and end to support my gay lifestyle while getting my degree. Who else is going to pay for my Prada man bag? Yet, it's been a really great experience in the big scheme of things and has fueled my passion for writing. Having lived in Mississippi , southern Germany, and now in Seattle with my gay black self, I've cultivated somewhat of a unique perspective and have a couple things on my mind for sharing. I love my gays and I'm passionate about issues that affect us. And I do mean all issues; from ensuring that none of us have unibrows to ensuring that we have equal rights. They're both equally important, right? Plus, I'm a pop culture fanatic. Reading blogs is my religion. Ultimately, I'd like a writing career that could combine the two: my love for those things sociological in scope coupled with my desire to read every article in the world having to do with Jake Gyllenhaal and his new ‘it’ dog.”
If you’re a Seattle-based musical act, shop, theater, promoter, whatever, then Lance is your man. His email is lance@queerty.com
Say hello, send him ideas, and welcome him aboard.
Are you looking for a way to break into the writing and publishing biz? Do you want to get school credit for going to parties and getting free stuff and downloading pictures of naked men? Did you try desperately to land an internship with Details to no avail? Then don’t worry. Queerty is looking for an intern and you just might be the queer for us.
We are looking for a spitfire of a personality, someone detail oriented and ready to shake things up around here. The responsibilities will be varied. We see our intern writing and publishing articles, interviewing celebs, making media contacts, and photographing key events. They will also get free stuff, invites to the best parties, and their very own .queerty email address. Yes, we know, every queen wants one.
We’d prefer a New Yorker, but being Manhattan-based is not a requirement. So if you have a dream of working in the journalism and publicity industry someday and think you can add something to our little gay site then shoot Bradford a note. Include your name, contact info, location, and a brief bio in the body of your email. You do not need to send us a resume. We’re only a blog.
This could be your big gay break.
