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.

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.

We've been looking for an answer to gaps in programming cycles of The Biggest Loser — or, more accurately, gaps in Trainer Bob appearing on our TV screens. Tonight, Bravo brings us our answer: Work Out, wherein out lesbian traner Jackie Warner lets a camera crew follow her and her team of trainers as they work fatties into shape. (Well, certainly the trainers also work with moderately fit men and women, too.) But it's not the sweaty bods and hope for gym shower scenes that we're impressed with. Rather, it's that Bravo is letting its heap of gay characters actually identify as sexual beings — and they fit more than one stereotype!
Jackie works with a team of trainers that not only love working out, but who look good doing it. Even better, three out of eight of these trainers are gay. However, all of them are very sexual beings which isn't surprising as few thing go more hand-in-hand with pumping iron than sex (especially in Los Angeles gyms). Work Out plays that up to a maximum. Girls flirt with boys. Boys flirt with girls. Boys flirt with boys. Everyone really just wants to hook up. And there's nothing wrong with that, right?The best part about Work Out though is that it doesn't include just one “token gay” as do so many shows. In fact, Work Out showcases three different types of gay folks.
You have the “straight-acting” Doug Blasdell. At forty-three, he's older and more mature than most of his co-workers, frequently dishing out advice to everyone else whether it be personal or professional. Doug is also in a committed relationship and lives what he refers to as a “normal” life.
Then there is twenty-five year old Jesse, a flamboyant pretty boy from Seattle who is more of a club kid. He represents the young, fun, sexual side of being gay. He's hot. He's sly. And he's the teacher's pet who immediately steps on everyone's toes.
Finally, you have Jackie herself, who runs her own business and doesn't take crap from anyone. Lipstick lesbian all the way, Jackie's tough love gets her respect and success.
While Queer Eye's Carson Kressley regularly tosses around gay sex jokes, he's never appeared on screen as a sexualized character. On Work Out, we get not one but a whole group of sexually charged hotties. You'll be tuning in too, right?
