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.

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...

Last month we wrote about a heterosexual couple who fly the rainbow flag outside their Bed and Breakfast in rural Meade, Kansas. They say they did not raise it as a symbol of gay rights, but because their 12-year-old son sent it as a gift and they wanted to be reminded of him.

Yes, the story is bizarre, but it has caused an uproar in the small town, and someone cut the flag down over the weekend. J.R. Knight and his wife Robin (pictured), the owners, are determined to fly the flag, because if they took it down then it would "send the wrong message" to their son, so they have ordered two replacements for the one cut down.

We feel that we aren't getting all the facts in this story. A 12-year-old boy living in California most certainly knows what the rainbow flag means, though he is on the record as saying he bought it as a souvenir from "Dorothy's House," a Wizard of Oz theme park because it reminded him of the song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."

If any of you readers know more about this story, please email us. We're fascinated, but also confused and a bit suspicious.

Anderson Cooper (the only reason we ever watch CNN) gets a book deal that will “deal with the last year of [his] life as a journalist and human being in Sri Lanka, Africa, Iraq and Louisiana/Mississippi.” No word on if it will cover the gay human being part.

• Some fire-happy teens tore down and burned an amalgam of Old Glory and the rainbow flag because they thought it was "unpatriotic." Apparently ripping down private property, dousing it with kerosene, and then dropping a match is the American way.

• Reach out and touch Arjan. He has Depeche Mode's entire new album available to stream.

Katie Holmes's parents are more upset about the unholiness of a shotgun wedding than her marrying crazy couch-leaper Tom Cruise.

Fliers are showing up in Austin and Dallas claiming there's a plan to bus gays into Texas to vote against the state's same-sex marriage ban. Well, there's your first sign it's all bull. We'd never ever take the bus.
