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.)

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?

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?

trannyshack calendar

The coming of the New Year means many things: new resolutions, New Year’s Eve parties, and new calendars. We are calendar junkies around here and are very well aware that every celebrity, every artist, and every shop has a calendar to peddle these days. We’ve found the best, though.

Trannyshack is San Francisco’s legendary drag show. If you’ve never been, we’re sorry. It makes drag pageants and shows in other cities look G-rated. The Trannyshack girls are nasty. It’s the club that launched the Scissor Sisters and its stage has been home to every drag queen you can think of and all the ones too bad to remember.

Heklina is a Queerty friend and the creator of Trannyshack. And now that the Trannyshack 2006 calendar has been released we’re thrilled to be able to reminisce each day we look up at these beautiful girls.

• In a ruling that could affect gay families, the Ohio Supreme Court recognizes children’s rights and “definitions of family that go beyond mom, dad and kids."

• Because having your face in the gay newspaper will surely keep you on the DL. Thanks Daniel.

Varla Jean Merman is playing Trannyshack tonight in San Francisco. Although we are confused as to how she fits into the theme: “an intimate evening of Satan worship and Rock and Roll.”
