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.

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?

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?

We haven't left our house in weeks, so we haven't yet had a chance to peruse the new issue of BUTT Magazine featuring a chat with Michael Lucas. Thankfully, Lucas Entertainment's publicity-queen Heather Reznor sent us this link to Lucas' blog, where you can find his interview with our friend and BUTT editor, Gert Jonkers.
While the boys chat about Lucas' boyfriend and Brooklyn-based relatives, we were struck by two particular things. The first comes in the form of Lucas' admission that he's trying to toss his accent:
GJ: Are you trying to lose your accent?Boo! Hearing him call you guys our "retarded readers" simply won't be the same without what we always thought to be his most endearing quality. Although, thanks for respecting our country so much, but we suspect he doesn't love it as much as Israel. [Read On ...]ML: Sure, I would love to lose it. I'm sure I will one day. It'll take some time an I'll have to take more classes. If you live in a country, you want to speak the language. You don't want to be asked all the time, like, "Where are you from?" I also think it's a sign of respect for the country to speak the language properly.
The New York Times bucks their recent trend of bad headlines and entices us with a doosey: "The World’s Most Popular Gay Postmodern Harpsichord Nerd." How can you not click on that, and so we did and now we’re glad to know of Canada’s Owen Pallet and his band/project Final Fantasy.
Owen turns conventional violin playing upside down by dissecting the elements and then imbuing them with lyrics of same-sex love and yes, wizard-and-sorcery references. Not much queeny angst here (he’s Canadian) and we hope we see a glimpse of the future of gay music. In his song “Furniture,” he sings”
"My father had a dozen wives/ And a child by every one/ And I am from about Number 5/ So don't expect me to stay with anyone."
We know we’ll never pry the crappy techno-music from your cold dead hands, but please, take a listen to Owen’s album “Final Fantasy Has a Good Home.” Or even better, catch a live show next time you’re in Toronto.
