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.

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!

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...

What do you do when you’re a butch dyke who wants to gain a better understanding of straight guys and their visually obsessed brains? Well you chop off your hair and throw yourself into the macho world of door-to-door sales, monasteries, and blue-collar bowling. Um, yeah. Sure.
But that’s just what NYC lezzie Norah Vincent did. For 18 freaking months.
Vincent (why she adopted the name Ned as her male alter ego and not Vincent Vincent, we don't know) has now returned to her female life (with a book, natch) and tonight gives 20/20 the lowdown on how and why she went down with her experiment:
"This wasn't just a stunt. & It was about finding something out about the human creature, and I learned it the best possible way because I went through it."
We don’t think she had a problem with the “going to the strip club with the guys” part, though.
We at Queerty still don’t fully understand straight guys. We might consider picking up her book, Self-Made Man, if it explains why we keep falling for them.
