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.

Mon, Apr 9

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...

Music videos aren't the only moving images we like. In fact, we like almost all moving images - we're very easily entertained. We know you are, too. [You're reading this, right?]

If you're in the hellish monstrosity of city known as New York between September 1st and 16th, head over to The Museum of Modern Art for "Another Wave: Global Queer Cinema, Part Two." You need a little culture. Trust us.

Complete list of showings, after the jump.

We at Queerty love to see politicians work out a good compromise, after all, that sort of is the whole idea behind democracy, and San Francisco politicians may just work out a doosey. Basically, a retired battleship, The Iowa was to be moved to San Francisco Bay as a permanent tourist attraction until the city council voted 8-3 against it.

Some opponents said they were taking a stand against both the war in Iraq and a military that boots out gays and lesbians, a powerful faction in local politics.

A stretch maybe, but a valid point. But now, advocates for the battleship have proposed to build next to the ship a museum centered around minorities in the armed forces, with a focus on gays and lesbians who have helped maintain America’s freedom.

"Our feeling was that this would make it a better fit for San Francisco," said Jim Maloney, director of the Military Education Initiative, a group that supports the lifting of restrictions on gays in the military. "Adding in the component of LGBT service would be obviously quite unique," he said.

We’ll keep you updated on how it goes, but where it stands (or floats) now, we think a museum dedicated to minorities in the military is about a good an idea as any. Do ask, Do tell.

Jeffrey Brezovar is many things: gay model, boyfriend to Nate Berkus and, um, father to Camryn Manheim's baby.

• Bored with Desperate Housewives so far this season? You're not alone.

• A lesbian has accused her basketball coach of kicking her off the team for being gay. We're siding with the coach on this one. Who in their right mind would kick a dyke off their basketball team and still expect to win?

Kanye West has blasted homophobic hip-hop lyrics, but how does he feel about his music appearing on a gay TV show? Well, that's another story.

• Ohio plans to open a museum documenting the history of gays in the Buckeye State. And we thought museums couldn't get any gayer than Liberace's.

No one does beauty, drama, and the arts better than us homos. Put them together and you get the magic of cinema. So it should come as no surprise that gays (both closeted and uncloseted) have pretty much been responsible for Hollywood’s success since day one. (Okay, we know the Jews had something to do with it, too.)

The Birdcage

This week the Hollywood Entertainment Museum in LA premieres a brand spanking new exhibit devoted to that history called “Gay Hollywood.” Talk about redundant.

"gay characters have always been visible on screen, even if their sexuality was repressed, due to the Motion Picture Code or other forms of censorship and self censorship.”

Rest assured that neither Tom Cruise, Richard Gere, or Kevin Spacey will be coming out. To see this exhibit.
