Wyoming school district pulls down "No Place for Hate" banners: "One of the sponsors listed on the banner is the Gay and Lesbian Fund for Colorado. Wheatland board members and parents took issue with that, according to the district...'The board thought it was inappropriate to have that sponsorship hanging up in the school,' said Stuart Nelson, the district's superintendent.
The banners, which had been allowed by district administrators, were removed after complaints. Some students asked to have them put back up, but the board refused.
Board member Lee Dunham said Wheatland is an 'ultraconservative community' and that he has feelings about including the fund on the banner. He said the district isn't ready to include that group."




Andy, thanks for the photo of the cute caucasian-and-desi couple holding hands on the Great Wall.

This masturbation/prostate cancer news is exactly opposite from what "they" (doctors/studies) said last year.

Exactly, FernLaPlante! And I'd been hearing that same info for years, so purely for health reasons have been a voracious masturbator. 5, 10, 15 times a day---all in the name of prostate health.
And now this. Thank a lot, science. Screwed me again.

I think this should say "Gay former GOP Congressman Steve Gunderson," since "Former gay GOP Congressman Steve Gunderson" means that he is no longer gay, not that he is no longer a Congressman.

Please note that the BBC is accepting responses from anyone who wants to comment on their gay and bi coverage. I filled out the survey and brought up several issues that Towleroad has featured, such as the horrendous "Should gays be executed" question that appeared on their website, the wedding shows they feature and the DJ who used gay as a pejorative.
Fill in the survey here:

Wasn't Gunderson outed by Mike Petrellis back during his congressional term? I hardly believe that he was openly gay back in the Speaker Gingrich 1990's. In addition, Gunderson's silence all these years on Republican Party hypocracy is amazing. Particularly in light of the knowledge that, back then, a Gunderson staffer was Speaker Newt Gingrich's mistress.
