Iowa's Quad-City Times celebrates the gay American Idol contestant I posted about earlier in the week, Leo Marlowe: “Gwen Costello, librarian and drama director at Northeast High School in Goose Lake, Marlowe's alma mater, remembers the young thespian playing the jester in ‘Once Upon a Mattress' and receiving awards on the speech team. In his high school yearbook, Marlowe, who was voted ‘Most Likely to be Famous' from the Class of 2002, was asked to pontificate on what he would do if he could not sing. ‘I don't know what I'd do,' he responded. ‘I guess I'd be lost.'…'He's just so down to earth and can make anybody laugh,” Costello said. “We noticed that right away last night, how he made everybody laugh and made everybody comfortable. That's what he does best besides singing.' Costello said Marlowe comes from ‘a wonderful family. We're thrilled, we're just thrilled. I thoroughly expect him to be schmoozing with the big guys soon. He'll probably be Simon's best friend someday.'”

Oregon fans target UCLA basketball player with homophobic chants: “The target was Kevin Love, the gifted freshman who grew up near Portland but left his home state last year for Westwood. Some Ducks fans, lost in their immaturity, view Love as a traitor. From the warm-ups to the final seconds, they heaped scorn on the Bruins' No. 42 and his family. There's cheering and booing that is within the bounds of civility. But sometimes it goes out of bounds, into a realm society should not condone. You know it when you see it, know it when you hear it. This was out of bounds. There were stabs at Love's looks, at his mother, father and the history of mental illness in his family. This was disgusting. What drew my ire the most were reports of long, loud, homophobic chants directed at UCLA's young center.”
