Denver Post remembers Matthew Shepard: "The crime galvanized gay-rights activists, who were determined change should come of Shepard's death. In some ways, the death of the affable young man has made a difference. Laramie, where Shepard attended college, passed a bias-crime ordinance in response to his death. His killing also has led to greater awareness about hate crimes and calls for tougher laws nationwide. But much work remains..."

Now Jude Law goes the 'stache route.

Palm Beach Atlantic University to allow Soulforce Bus riders on campus, but Soulforce calls invitation too restrictive: ''Unfortunately, the format is not conducive to reaching out to the Palm Beach Atlantic community in the spirit of open dialogue. Additionally, the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students who need to hear our message of love and affirmation would not be reached in this format.''

Jason Giambi's Pornstache Getting its Own Day at Yankee Stadium

The mustache that New York Yankee Jason Giambi grew in late June has caused such a fuss and developed such a fanbase that it's getting its own day from the organization. Not since the beards of the New England Patriots has facial hair on an athlete drawn such attention.

According to New York magazine, "They’ll distribute 20,000 fake mustaches at Yankee Stadium (this afternoon), and they say the faux facial hair will also be worn by team broadcasters and maybe even players. They’re even calling in the big guns, claiming the endorsement of the American Mustache Institute, which has provided one of its trademark over-the-top quotations: “Giambi’s significant first-half production as well as his powerful lip fur — indicating great intellect and good looks — make two very compelling reasons for his place on the American League All-Star roster.”

The promotion is an effort to get Giambi and his pornstache voted to the All-Star team at MLB.com.

James Franco, who has recently been up in San Francisco shooting the Gus van Sant film Milk (in which he plays Scott Smith, Harvey Milk's lover) has either not finished shooting or decided to hold on to the 70's pornstache he grew for the film.
