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.
Regional lawyers have ruled that Latvia's City Council acted unjustly in barring last year's gay pride parade. Hoorah!
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...

• In Britain, authorities say they've foiled a plot to blow up plans traveling between the U.K. and the U.S. [NYT]
• The Rev. Fred Daley, a gay priest who claims a vow of celibacy, was supposed to head to Lesotho on an AIDS relief mission on Sunday but had his participation pulled by organizers at the Catholic Relief Services. The reason? Not that he was gay, says CRS, but that he's a gay rights advocate. "Sounds like 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.'" [ABC News]
• In New York, a preacher is fighting to display Biblical passages on outdoor billboards. She bought and paid for the ads – which read "Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womenkind. It is an abomination" – but when Staten Island's borough president saw them, he lobbied the billboard owner PME to remove them. PME, meanwhile, accepts plenty of ad dollars from the borough. [Pink News]
• In Missouri, Jolie Justus is set to become the the first openly gay state senator. [U.S. Newswire]
• In Arkansas, the Young Democrats elected as its president Hendrix University's Josh Blevins, the org's first openly gay leader. We've since been notified that the press release we referenced contained many factual errors, among them: Blevins is not, in fact, gay. Meanwhile, many of the quotes cited in the press release are apparently made up, as is the name of Blevins' school; it is Hendrix College. Further, he is no longer a student there. [PR Web]
• Also in Arkansas, candidates for the lieutenant governor position are battling over whether to make a campaign issue out of the the State Supreme Court's reversal of a ban on gay foster parents. [Advocate]
• In California, a gay synchronized swimming team from San Francisco was banned from the FINA World Masters Championships at Stanford University because of official Olympic rules, which state the sport is for women only. [Advocate]
