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...

If you're like us, you spent last night glued to Cat Deeley's London legs for the two-hour finale of So You Think You Can Dance. It's a topic we've covered before, giving one contestant in particular – Benji – our full attention. For us, he was Dance's Clay Aiken. But unlike Clay, Benji wasn't the runner up last night: he won! Beating out the other three top candidates (including cousin Heidi), Benji nabbed $100k in cash, some forgettable ride, and a year-long gig as Celine Dion's bitch. But it's not Benji's win that we're so surprised at — but his makeover. Just like Clay, Benji went from geeky nerd to manufactured sex symbol (though it was only the 12-year-old Church girls and their grandmothers who were buying).
(Note: To be fair, the above photo is of Benji right after he found out he won. And that came right after he did a dance number, so he's not looking too good.)
• Online personals can be more than finding a guy who likes to PNP. The recently launched Lavender Womyn Personals connects single lesbians as well as couples and lesbian families with children for reasons, we imagine, go beyond foursomes. [Lavender Womyn Personals]
• Last night media wagging sibling Jossip hit up Out editor Aaron Hickln's party — and asked all about what Johnny Knoxville was doing on the cover, and whether we'd ever see Lance Bass there. [Jossip]
• CosmoGIRL – one of the only teen girl titles still around, it seems – is beginning to look more and more like a bi/lesbian rag. [After Ellen]

• Gay marriage opponents didn't collect enough signatures to get their referendum on the Illinois ballot — so now they're heading to federal court, calling the process of getting on the ballot too burdensome to be constitutional. [Chicago Sun-Times]
• And vote, dammit, in Queerty's Men of MySpace competition. It's time to choose a winner already! Vote here.
We would never to immediately slap the word "gay" on a flamboyant dancer type, but seriously, have you seen the Fox reality show So You Think You Can Dance? The virginal Christian named Benji Schwimmer? If we can speculate about Clay Aiken, then we can certainly speculate about the Redlands, Calif. native, who strikes as a "gay, but he doens't know it yet." Whether he'll be swing dancing into the arms of a future husband or a reparative therapy clinic is anyone's guess, but what there is no doubt in is this chap's dancing skills. Above, witness Benji and fellow Dance contestant Heidi Groskreutz hit the 2005 US Open Swing Dance Championships. Though, could someone explain to us how these two were in the 2005 competition, together, and are only appearing on the show this year?
