• Out Magazine has a new editor, Aaron Hincklin, and Andrew Sullivan heapes glowing praise on the magazine for hiring a heterosexual for the job. “I think it’s great that a straight guy is now heading up a gay magazine,” says Sullivan. ” Integration is now the baseline from which many of us operate. Good for Out for being unafraid to pick talent over identity.” We agree it’s an interesting choice for a gay magazine to pick a straight editor …except, um, Aaron Hincklin is not straight. Not one bit. He’s as homosexual as Big Gay Al and his carrot cake. Sorry, Andrew, wrong YET AGAIN. [TheDailyTransom]

• The Soulforce Riders had so much fun getting arrested at BYU on Monday, they decided to stick around and do it again. This time, they marched on campus and fell to the ground in a staged “die-in” to symbolize gay Mormons who committed suicide. We know they’re nutzo, but we’re beginning to like these Soulforcers a lot. They’re starting to become fun. If you’re going to get arrested, you might as well make it a show. [IndyBay]
