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.
The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission will honor Nepal's Blue Diamond Society for all their hard activist work. Unfortunately, they will not be honored with actual blue diamonds.
We've never quite understood Kate Moss and Pete Doherty's relationship. Now we do. And they're kind of cute. Still total nutters, but cute...
The fuzz may have been investigating theft at Atlanta's airport, but they found a bunch of horny gay men, instead. Now they're looking for more.

Maryland's House has passed a bill requiring health insurance companies to extend benefits to same-sex partners and children. The bill now needs to be signed by the governor to become a law. (We totally just had a School House Rock flashback.)
GLAAD's celebrating the tenth anniversary of Ellen Degeneres' coming out with a month full of flag-waving faggotry.
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?
In an effort to make a more single friendly album, Madonna has joined forces with Justin Timberlake and uber-producer Timbaland. If they can't help her sales, no one can...
The House Judiciary Committee isn't fucking around with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. They've just issued a subpoena for more documents regarding the allegedly illegal firing of federal prosecutors. Nail him to the wall, kids!
New York has agreed to extend benefits to employee's same-sex partners. About fucking time, no?
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?
21-year old Akino George has been sentenced to eight years in prison for his role in the beating of gay singer, Kevin Aviance. Like his violent cohorts, George copped a plea. Smart fucker...

Johnny Knoxville's never been accused of being a homophobe. Hell, the Jackass star's appeared on his fair share of fag rag's. Despite that media frenzy, TMZ's ink on his latest "gay" story calls his sartorial punchline, "offensive".
Now, we just took an informal poll of the people in our virtual head and 50% of them agree: Knoxville's shirt offends. The other 50%, meanwhile, had a good laugh. (Margin of Error: 50%). Help us get out heads straight, readers.
Should we hold Johnny Knoxville to the same standards we'd hold James Dobson (who would never wear such a blasphemous shirt, but just pretend) or can we all laugh at his tongue-in-cheek reference to the dick-in-cheeks? Keep in mind his friend may, in fact, be of the homosexual variety.
• The Fag Rag Wars continue. Genre editor Chris Ciompi sent us this link to his rag's interview with Rose McGowan. He also sent us a link to Out's so-called "exclusive" with the same actress. Oh, yeah, and he wanted us to remind you about that whole Johnny Knoxville scandal. Stir that shit, child, stir that shit.
• But, let's not forget Michael Musto ripping Ciompi a new one on BBC. Ooo, girl, those claws are sharp!
• Speaking of reaming - The Independent thinks American attitudes about outing are childish. In our defense, we are only 231 years old.
• Turkish gays, meanwhile, are coming into their own.
• Wikipedia's WikiProject LGBT Studies, on the other hand, needs a little help from you. Head on over and tell them what you'd like to know more about. Everyone wins!
• And, on the subject of winning... Okay, well, not really, but there are more American gay teams than ever before. Three cheers for the queers!
• Does CNN have a monopoly on all the hot journos? Weatherman Rob Marciano's heating things up. Seriously, he's on fire. And now so are we...
Our media wagging brah Jossip brings some interesting news about September's issue of Out magazine, the first issue helmed entirely by new editor Aaron Hicklin (who came over from BlackBook magazine). Turns out Hicklin's debut effort takes a remarkably similar approach to Genre's July 2005 cover — when it was Genre undergoing to the revamp with new editor Chris Ciompi.
Perhaps our problem isn't with the lack of creativity, but with Johnny Knoxville commanding so many covers. Gay covers, even.
Aaron Hicklin Comes Out With a Copycat [Jossip]
Update: Turns out it's not just Out and Genre who fell in love with Knoxville. The Advocate professed its warm fuzzies first. [Jossip]
