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...

Because, You Know, He Gives Everyone A Good Name

We must have fallen through a warp into the Bizarro dimension or something. We're stunned that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People handed Grey's Anatomy actor and TR Knight faggot caller Isaiah Washington the Best Actor in a Television Drama at their Image Awards over the weekend. Perhaps they're not that concerned about his scandalous past. Or maybe he's that good of an actor. Or, more likely, the competition just really, really sucked.

Of course, the organization's got bigger problems: leader Bruce Gordon stepped down after a measly 19-months in charge. Apparently he didn't see eye-to-eye with the board.

If you're interested, sappho-journo Jasmyne Cannick's got the video of Washington's speech. Not coincidentally, he thanks her. Cannick defended him during the whole faggot scandal. We don't get mentioned. He must have forgotten.

Speaking this morning at the annual NAACP Convention, President Bush had this to say:

I consider it a tragedy that the party of Abraham Lincoln let go of its historical ties with the African-American community. For too long, my party wrote off the African-American vote, and many African-Americans wrote off the Republican Party.

He's right. The Republicans have overlooked black people for too long. Evidenced by the president's turning down the NAACP's invitations to speak at its annual conventions — every year for the past five years. Oh, and Bush' disavowal of affirmative action, his Florida black vote theft, and his inhumane response to Hurricane Katrina.

• "Abstinence only" could soon be the law of the land in Kansas. We are excited about this new law because it might mean that all the homophobic jerks in that state will not know how to reproduce if and when the time comes. [KAKE]

• " 'Brooming' was the name given for the practice of poking a camper, while clothed, in the area of the butt," says future teacher (and son of an Arizona state senator) Clifton Bennett, who is facing charges that he assaulted young boys with a broom handle. Why didn't these sorts of things happen when we went to summer camp? [Pink News]

•A prison guard in gay old Massachusetts was reprimanded for making his prisoners horny by showing them Brokeback Mountain. [365 Gay]

• Finally a black church person who doesn't hate the gays. [AP]
