Last week, when the stock market took that record 700 dip, huge numbers of men appeared to be dipping into each other.

According to New York Press, gay hook-up site ManHunt saw a huge spike in its man-on-man membership:

Manhunt, the most popular online "dating" resource in NYC for men looking for a hookup, saw record membership numbers the day of the stock market crash.
…
So many people were in need, in NYC, Boston, D.C., etc. that Manhunt recorded three times as many new memberships than usual on Sept. 29 when the stock market fell 700 points. It was the best single day in their entire history.

Apparently a bit of gay sex is just the trick to curing the economic blues. Who knew?!

Michelle Rodriguez got into some queer shenanigans last weekend.

The allegedly lesbianic actress and an unidentified lady friend were sharing a hotel room in Florida, where we assume they had flown for some rest and relaxation, but spent at least one night getting all worked up:

Fellow guests at the recherché retreat say they were awakened at 9 a.m. Sunday to loud banging and the dulcet tones of Rodriguez, screaming at her roommate.

"I woke up Sunday morning to the sounds of two women yelling, and one of them was smashing the door knocker very loudly," one exhausted guest tells us. "I peeked out and saw it was [Rodriguez]. She's screaming, 'Open up, let me in, bitch!'"

The loud knocking continued for another five minutes, says the source, until the "Girlfight" star hollered, "If you don't open up, you're not getting your [pleasure toy] back." The door creaked open.

Ladies sure do take their sex toys seriously…

Whoa! We knew Christopher Ciccone and sister Madonna were once close, but Ciccone, who recently released a tell-all book about the singer, takes to the blogosphere to dispense some information that's definitely too much: when Madge used to have problems with her voice, she would call a man named Johnny and such his "snake," says Ciccone. Then, when she was done, her brother would have a go.

Here's a - cough, cough - taste:

After our eyes glue to Johnny’s huge snake, Madonna and I look at each other in amazement. I immediately rush over to it as my mouth waters.

“Sorry,” Madonna says and pushes me away. She then gulps Johnny’s snake like it’s some type of watermelon. Johnny sits down on a chair and I feel a little bit left out until he informs me to take off my clothes. I feel uncomfortable getting naked in front of my sister, but Madonna is so preoccupied that she barely notices.

“Come here!” Johnny says and I walk towards him. Johnny then proceeds to suck my snake like it’s a watermelon and both of us are moaning in harmony. At least it’s more harmonious than Madonna’s singing throughout the day. Suddenly, Johnny’s moans become louder until I can hear Madonna make gulping noises. Johnny doesn’t swallow, but for some reason, it doesn’t bother me. Right after Johnny leaves, Madonna proceeds to sing and she sounds wonderful.

Wait, wait - don't you bite into watermelon, not suck?!

Anglican leaders are currently in England hammering out their differences. And those differences are immense.

While some Western representatives support gay inclusion, others aren't feeling so welcoming. This, of course, puts spiritual leader Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, in an awkward position. Thus, hoping to keep the international communion from crumbling, Williams yesterday came out against homo sex:

The Archbishop of Canterbury has continued his quest for Anglican unity with a strong statement against living in sin and gay sex.

Dr Williams said: "I do not believe that sex outside marriage is as God purposes it."

And he said he remained "committed" to the Church's official stance against gay sex, which aims to preserve Biblical norms.

Williams also dismissed rumors of an Anglican schism, saying, "If it is the end of the Anglican Communion I do not think anyone has told most of the people here.”

Some British gays are fighting for their right to fornicate!

The battle began as Bristol city and community leaders started pushing for shrub clearance at Bristol Downs, saying such maintenance will open the area to wild life and make it more accessible for park visitors. Gay activists, however, are crying "discrimination."

Why? Because they feel the gardening will impede their public sex plans.

Peter Wilkinson, who heads the park council, insists that he and his team will work with gay rights group the Terrence Higgins Trust to ensure no one misreads the park's renovation. Said Wilkinson:

The general public are unhappy about people taking part in lewd behavior in public spaces, whether it's between men and women or people of the same sex. We are working together with the Terrence Higgins Trust to make sure any work we will do is sensitive.

We're making sure people know what we are doing so we are not seen to be discriminating.

Wait, can someone really use illegal public sex as an argument against discrimination? We understand the dangers of sexual policing, but Bristol authorities insist they don't investigate public sex unless there's a formal complaint. Wouldn't it be better to just let this gardening slide, rather than raising a stink? And, what's more, are people's sex lives more important than something that can improve the park for everyone? Just asking…
