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...

X May, But Y...

• Moscow's mayor may have banned gay pride, but the Russian government supports the queer right to assemble.

• Gay rights activists may have cheered Italy's potential civil partnership law, but Pope Benedict XVI ain't feeling so cheery. (Surprise, surprise.)

• Potential GOP Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee may not want to comment on Mary Cheney's pregnancy, but he does say he doesn't support gay marriage.

Scissor Sisters may be uber-talented, but it doesn't really translate on their second Passions appearance. (Or the first.)

Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead may think they're Dannielynn Marshall Stern's papas, but Zsa Zsa Gabor's hubby, Prince Frederick von Anhalt says he's the real deal.

• The Red Cross may ban men who have sex with men from donating blood, but Cleveland officials think they're wrong.

Or, Adventures in Product Placement!
You know you've made it when you're on a soap that features a child witch that communicates through thought bubbles. It's almost like being in a comic book!

(PS: We love when the elder witch, Tabitha, says, "What do you think this is, Wigstock?" Also, why didn't the band realize they had been transported to a soon-to-be cancelled soap opera until after their performance?)

Two-Day Stint On Soap Whose Days Are Numbered

SSPassions.jpg
If there's one thing we love, it's when famous people play themselves on soap operas. We don't know why - maybe because it creates the illusion that the sudsters take place in the real world, which, of course, makes us feel better about the shit storm that's become our lives.

Lucky for us, Scissor Sisters will be making a two-day appearance on NBC's supernatural soap, Passions. Now, we've never really followed the show's storylines (Days, all the way), but we do know it's one of the campiest things on television, making it a perfect venue for the flamboyant fivesome.

While we haven't seen any of the footage, we do know that wee witch Endora "conjures" the Sisters from their CD and that they'll perform "I Don't Feel Like Dancing" and "Land of a 1000 Words". In a video interview, the kids say they're huge fans of the show and hope it will expose them to a new audience.

We hate to burst their buble, but we're not sure the show has an audience. Rumor has it the peacock network's looking to ax the show by fall.

Chris Austad has been on the cover of Abercrombie & Fitch Quarterly, Cosmo Girl, and has appeared in the daytime soap Passions. This, of course, means that he’s going to end up on Sean Cody any day now. And he'll probably be wearing a sailor hat. (Hint: click on the jump.)
