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.

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?

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.

As New York City Council Speaker and notable lesbian Christine Quinn heads to Ireland for St. Patrick's day, NYC-based Irish Queers are planning their 16th annual protest against the parade's ban on the bent boys (and girls). The group will gather at 58th and 5th Avenue at 10:30am tomorrow to raise their voices. Their Irish peers in the homeland, meanwhile, will coordinate a simultaneous strike. Of the conflict, Irish Queer Tierney Gleason says:
This is about more than a parade – it’s about whole communities. When parade organizers voice hatred toward Irish and Irish-American LGBT people, they foster intolerance and ultimately violence against LGBT people in immigrant communities.That's right, Gleason! Do not, under any circumstance, allow some homo-haters to ruin your day of drunken madness. Plus, considering that Saint Patrick spent a time of his life as a slave, we're pretty sure he'd approve of your rabble-rousing. But, then again, we've never been tight with the Saints. We actually heard it from one of our in-the-know demon pals...As Irish Queers, we persist in living our Irishness and queerness simultaneously. We won’t let a bunch of religious-right businessmen tell us we’re not Irish just because we don’t fit their agenda.
It's not enough that John Dunleavy, chairman of the NYC St. Patrick's Day Parade won't let gay Irish groups march. He has to go down the road of Sen. Rick Santorum (he who likened gays to dogfuckers) and start making insulting, homophobic comparisons.
In a recent interview, Dunleavy made clear his shaky powers of reasoning:
If an Israeli group wants to march in New York, do you allow Neo-Nazis into their parade? If African Americans are marching in Harlem, do they have to let the Ku Klux Klan into their parade? ... People have rights. If we let the [Irish Lesbian and Gay Organization] in, is it the Irish Prostitute Association next?
We are not aware that there is an Irish Prostitution Assocation in New York City, but it's probably a good idea. And that would be a labor union anyway, Mr. Dunleavy.
