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.

Willie Nelson is a smart and brave guy. Brave for recording "Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly (Fond of Each Other)" and bringing the song and its tale to wider audiences. He is also smart to ride the Brokeback bandwagon all the way to the bank. Today, the song ranks in the iTunes top ten singles chart.
We were surprised to realize that Willie is not the first recording artist to cover the song. Chris Geidner sent us his take on the song’s history and we’re very happy to learn that Pansy Division covered the song in 1995, you know, when we were like, freshmen in college. Talk about before your time.
You can download the Pansy Division version for free off their website, which currently is down. Too many gays must be flooding their site for the song. Keep checking back though. It’s a perfect contrast to Willie’s version.
ABOUT THAT QUEER COWBOY SONG . . . [Law Dork]
Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly (Fond of Each Other) download [Pansy Division]
The first thing that should come to mind when thinking of gay rock music shouldn’t be a high-pitched Freddie Mercury wearing a tight low cut v-neck. No, it should be queercore. If you don't know what it is, don't worry, honey, that's what we're here for.
Rising out of the 80's punk scene, queercore music can best be described as socially conscience hardcore rock with oodles of gay tendencies. This isn't light and fluffy "Ray of Light" stuff. Queercore band names include Limp Wrist, Mas Scara, and Super 8 Cumshot. Apparently Hilton Cumshot was already taken. Our favorite queercore band, Pansy Division, has been around since the beginning of the movement. We're crossing our fingers that their catchy song, "Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other" ends up as Brokeback Mountain's theme song.
Not yet mainstream, queercore is quickly gaining in popularity all over the globe with festivals like Homo-a-go-go which takes place at the home of alternative rock, Washington State. There's also a new book out chronicling its history, simply titled Homocore. You just know the gay rock scene has a colorful history.
