| WeHo Pride: Soon to be 90% prouder?
Instead of just blowing the whole load in a weekend of parade festivities, a West Hollywood City Council task force is recommending that the community's gay pride celebration should be expanded into a month-long social and cultural event. Flaggy. Keeping with the suggestion, we think the entire month of June should simply be renamed June Likes Girls, So Get The F**k It Over It. While it may be wordy and a bit annoying for those who like to write out a month's name rather than use its numeric representation, we think it would drive our "We're Here, We're Queer" point home in ways far greater than any flag and float-filled parade could ever hope. So what do we think, world -- summer of '07 begins on June Likes Girls, So get the F**k Over It 21, 2007? We're thinking we're on to somethin'! It's unclear if any other areas of the country will follow WeHo's lead and consider expanding their own pride festivities.

Moscow, September 8, Interfax - Organizers of the unsanctioned gay pride march that took place in Moscow on May 27 have filed an appeal with the Moscow prosecutor's office, which earlier refused to open a criminal case into an attack on German Bundestag Member Volker Beck, a participant in the event. "Organizers of the gay march protest the decision by the deputy prosecutor of the Tverskaya inter-district prosecutor's office to refuse to open a criminal case into the attack on Bundestag member Beck," a statement published on the GayRussia.ru web site on Friday reads. "Beck sent an appeal to the Russian Prosecutor's General Office demanding a criminal case be opened against Aleksey Napylov, who said that he does not regret his actions in an interview with the Russian version of the Newsweek journal," the press release reads.
