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...

New York has agreed to extend benefits to employee's same-sex partners. About fucking time, no?

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...

• Turns out ketamine can do more than add some sizzle to your evening. New research suggests it might help treat depression. Rapidly. [Gay.com UK]

• Rather than require California schools to use textbooks that cover the contributions of gays and lesbians in history, a new bill will simply mandate that nobody is portrayed in a negative light based on his sexual orientation. [SF Chronicle]

• When Pierce Brosnan's The Matador was released in December, the much talked about bisexual overtones were anything but present. They were all but deleted entirely. How come? [After Elton]

• Ten years into trials for HAART, the latest research shows strong signs of those with HIV being able to control the virus, but that cases of new infections actually rose, likely in connection with a rise in tuberculosis. [Medical News Today]

Fanning the flames of America's fury for splitting from dreamy husband Nick Lachey, femme fatale Jessica Simpson rocked the music industry with her announcement that she is ready to hang up her music career. In a recent statement, she broke the bad news:

"Music will always be my passion, but I don't have to do it professionally. It's just not really about that for me anymore. I feel like I don't have to look at it as a career."

jessica simpson singing.jpegWe can't imagine the world without Jessica Simpson's voice in it; if she stops singing, we'll have to turn to Miss America pageants and Japanese karaoke bars to fill the void. Nor can we imagine what she will do next for a living, since her attempt at acting in The Dukes Of Hazzard was about as sophisticated as Kevin Federline's latest album. And no one will watch her get married again. Or would we? Hmm...

This news, of course, comes just days after the gay world was rocked by Madonna's proclamation that she has brought her acting career to an end, despite Pierce Brosnan's offer of a role in his next movie. That news was especially troubling since, unlike Jessica Simpson, some of Madonna's offerings (Evita) were legitimately quite good.

What's next? Carrot Top to exit the world of stand-up comedy? Take According To Jim off the air? Excuse us while we weep.

Say it isn't so! Jessica Simpson wants to quit singing [Yahoo! UK]

ALSO: Nick Lachey to star in sitcom, created by Sabrina, The Teenage Witch weiters. We wish him the best of luck, because it already sounds dreadful and we'll never watch it.
