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...

White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen – who made headlines this week when he threw the word "fag" at Chicago Sun-Times columnist Jay Mariotti over one of his articles – was handed two separate punishments yesterday for his bad behavior. The lesser of the two: a one game suspension (which he served last night) and undisclosed fine for the "internal actions" of relief pitcher David Riske, who pegged St. Louis' Chris Duncan in Tuesday's game after both teams received warnings. And as for throwing around prejudicial slurs?
He's being fined and ordered to attend sensitivity training, ordered up by MLB commissioner Bud Selig. Guillen's reaction? He's fine with the punishment. Oh, and:
I don't regret what I say about Jay. I regret what I say about the [gay] community.
Guillen fine with MLB's punishment [Chicago Tribune]
Remember yesterday's item about the White Sox's Ozzie Guillen calling Chicago Sun-Times Jay Mariotti columnist a "fag" and then recoiling with the defense that he has gay friends and all that? Perhaps his best defense would've been to remind everyone of this picture. Can you call a dude a homophobe if he's lip-locking with other jocks?

Earlier: White Sox's Ozzie Guillen: I Can Say 'Fag' Without Being Homophobic
For every modicum of progress made in gay men and women feeling accepted in the sports world, it only takes a single blow to knock the wind out of our headway. On Tuesday, it was Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen who stole this dubious honor.
Reacting to a column by the Chicago Sun-Times' Jay Mariotti about Guillen's handling of relief pitcher Sean Tracey, the Sox's manager said, "What a piece of shit he is, fucking fag." (Mariotti was covering the NBA Finals and wasn't there to witness the comments.) Fellow Sun-Times columnist Greg Couch addressed the issue and demanded MLB Commissioner Bud Selig to suspend Guillen over the use of a "hurtful homophobic" term. He also asked Giullen to defend himself.
Guillen's excuse? In his native country of Venezuela, using the word "fag" isn't offensive, apparently: "I don't have anything against those people. In my country, you call someone something like that and it is not the same as it is in this country." Oh, and he also has gay friends, goes to WNBA games, went to a Madonna concert and plans to attend Chicago's Gay Games. Nevermind the explicit meaning Guillen meant when he used the word "fag": that columnist Mariotti "was not man enough to meet me and talk about [things before writing]." Because anyone who's got gay friends and enjoys striking a pose could never say something homophobic.
