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...

Martha Wash
Mon, Jul 31, 2006

The Outgames opened in Montreal Saturday night, and while many famous people made appearances and performances (Martha Wash, Deborah Cox, k.d. lang), one very famous Canadian was conspicuously absent: Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

k.d. lang has been outspoken about the PM's intent to skip the games:

It's a sad statement that the national leader of one of the most progressive countries in the world chooses to support intolerance rather than all-inclusiveness. It's our job to see that as an unfortunate ignorance, rather than as a statement against us," she said. "It's just that he hasn't got there in his heart.

In his place, Federal Public Works Minister Michael Fortier (pictured above left) tried to make a speech, but was booed so loudly he had trouble finishing. No wonder Harper didn't want to attend. Or did he?

You might know her voice, but not her face, and we want you to get to know all of Martha Wash. She is perhaps best known for the hit song "It's Raining Men," which she sang with Izora Armstead as pop duo The Weather Girls (formerly Two Tons of Fun), but her voice has appeared elsewhere, including every song by dance group Blackbox and some C&C Music Factory singles. However, it was sometimes only her voice that appeared, as some skinny model was put on the album covers, presumably to boost sales.

Queerty pal Produzentin has a deep-rooted love for Martha Wash and sings the praises of her only solo album to date, which came out in 1993, and features the single "Give It to You," which has a seriously amazing video.

After the jump watch the video, which we can only describe as a hedonistic tea party starring Martha as the Queen of Everything with several dozen mostly-naked man-servants. It will make you feel that all is right in the gaylaxy.
