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...

We met Eric Rhein in an expansive, echoing room at New York's Gay and Lesbian Center - where he just took down a retrospective of sorts called "Uncle Lige's Sword". The itself show commemorates the tenth anniversary of protease inhibitors - a pharmaceutical wonder to which HIV-positive Rhein admittedly owes his life. The name of the show, meanwhile, hints at Rhein's activist roots: his uncle Lige Clark sprearheaded the early gay rights movement, founding New York's Mattachine Society branch and publishing the nation's first gay weekly, appropriately dubbed, Gay.
Meanwhile, downtown, Rhein's work can be seen at the Leslie/Lohman Gallery's "Four Artists/Four Shows" group show, featuring his "Journey Among Warriors". His so-called wire drawings not only blur the boundaries between sculpture and illustration, but attempt to communicate innumerable links between man and nature.
Perhaps Rhein's most cited work is The Leaf Project: his (sadly) ever-growing remembrance of friends who've died of AIDS complications. While HIV certainly plays a role his artistic perspective, he insists that there are universal themes around which all humans can - and should - rally for social progress.
See what Rhein has to say about the composition of "the art world", the downfalls of "the gay world" and the lessons (not to mention spirits) that can be found in-between.
"Journey Among Warriors" is on view at Leslie-Lohman Gallery (26 Wooster Street between Canal/Grand Streets New York, NY) through December 21, 2006.

Those sneaky Orishas. You ask them for the guy of your dreams to throw you around in bed and you end up being thrown across the bar. Or so goes the story of Angel, a homo devoted to the Santeria tradition who unsuccessfully cast a love spell to capture a guy's attention. The Orishas don't really like watching public displays of affection, as Angel says, "If I get to making out all hot and heavy with some boy on my couch, I always have to take it to the bedroom, so we don't disrespect Yemaja."
So we are unsure why he thought they would help him pick up some guy at a bar, but apparently they got extra pissed when he didn't ask permission to use their name in the spell, even though he gave them some honey and oranges, which they enjoy.
Full disclaimer: We are superstitous and tend to believe stories like this.
Go read it and decide for yourself, but we think you'll agree with us by the end that a pissed off Orisha and large crowds of drunk homos do not mix.
