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...

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...

Call Montreal's 2006 Outgames the little Gay Games that couldn't. Literally. Born from a spat with the Federation of Gay Games - namely, when Montreal got the big gay snub as host city - the Outgames hoped to offer an alternate queer sporting event.
As we know, it didn't work out. Despite a budget of $15million, the organizers owe more money than we'll ever see in our lives, ringing up more than $2 million in debt. To keep pesky creditors off their backs, the organizers have filed for bankruptcy.
In light of these news, 365 Gay's published a short list of people short changed, including Martina Navratilova (approximately $40,000), OutMarketing ($6,000); Cirque du Soleil ($48,209.30), and those poor Canadian Taxpayers (approximately $3.2 million). Ouch.
To be fair, the Gay Games about $200,000. Hopefully the 2009 Outgames in Copenhagen and Cologne's 2010 Gay Games won't bomb in such an extraordinary way. To be fair, the Outgames faced competition from its aforementioned rival: The Gay Games. Organizers have vowed never to hold them on the same year again, which is good because we're not sure the world needs two different money burning "gay olympics", let alone two in one year.
We just finished watching the Winter Olympics and with Johnny Weir and the rest of those fit figure skaters, we can safely say the games were as gay as they always are. But this is a lucky year for us queers. Sure we had the flamboyant Olympics but this Summer will bring not only the return of the Gay Games, but the 1st Out Games which are to be played in one of our fav North American cities; Old Gay Montreal.
The last few Gay Games have ended in bankruptcy. So the gay person’s bible, The Advocate is showing its support (and giving both queer games some much-need advertising) by doing what it can to help from prevent the games from going the way of Ellen’s sit-com career; They’ve featured hot athlete on its cover. That alone has convinced us to make a trip to the Windy City this summer. That’s what we call a spectator sport.
Different games, familiar hurdles [The Advocate]
