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.)

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?

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...

Tales of the City
Mon, Aug 14, 2006

He wrote a series of books thirty years ago that is beloved of gay Americans (and Brits) everywhere, but what has Armistead Maupin been doing since Tales of the City? Quite a bit, actually. The film adaptation of his novel The Night Listener opened nationwide last week. We haven't been to see it yet, nor have we read the book, but according to Maupin, it draws on Hitchcock movies for inspiration (and undoubtedly has something gay in it, since he tends to draw on his own life experiences).

Maupin is also at work on a new book called Michael Tolliver Lives, in which we see Tales of the City protagonist Michael "Mouse" Tolliver all growns up at age 55 working as a gardener and dating a younger man. In addition to all that, Maupin is also shopping around a film version of Babycakes, the fourth Tales of the City book. If he can find a studio to pick it up, we hope Laura Linney and Olympia Dukakis will star again, as they did in the first three mini-series adaptations.

Read the full interview at AfterElton.
