John Roberts may have a small pink spot on his underbelly, but he's likely just further to hex the US Supreme Court as it falls more and more under a Right-wing spell |

Assassination
| |
One the 20th century's greatest homosexual writers and filmmakers wasn't killed by a teenage hustler, as for 30 years the official account and tongue-clucking cocktail-party chatter
has had it. Pier Paulo Pasolini was, rather, almost certainly assassinated. |

Nice Departure
By: Jim D'Entremont
| |
Last October, when the US Supreme Court revealed that Chief Justice William Rehnquist, 80, was being treated for thyroid cancer, the news triggered urgent speculation about
his replacement. Surprisingly, Rehnquist remains on the bench nine months later. On July 1, however, Associate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor caught Court-watchers unprepared by declaring
her intention to precede Rehnquist into retirement. |

Jerusalem: Gay Mecca?
| |
Homosexuality happens concretely in bedrooms, bars, basements, baths, and back alleys all the time. But once a year, custom has it, we all come out, and gather along San Francisco's Embarcadero, Berlin's Kurfürstendamm, or Montreal's Réne-Lévesque-- or whatever is the
locally central spot that we transform into parade grounds. |

Sex Terror
| |
People unfortunate enough to end up in court in Stalinist Russia or Nazi Germany found that they were guilty of whatever the prosecutor charged, laws and facts be damned. The separate convictions of two elderly radicals a few days apart last month show how far hysterias
over sex and terrorism are sliding US jurisprudence in that totalitarian direction. |

The Show-Trial That Wasn't
By: Jim D'Entremont
| |
Prosecutors, victims' advocates, and media had for three years been spinning legends of Paul R. Shanley's sexual insatiability, portraying him, in the words of one victims' rights proponent, as "the worst of the worst" in the latest wave of priestly abuse scandals. But as
its January 18 trial date approached, the Massachusetts child-rape case against the former Roman Catholic priest appeared to be unraveling strand by strand, with four accusers dwindling to one. |

Poll in the Eye
| |
With the reelection of Bush the US is set now for a journey into uncharted waters, maybe in the direction of Pinochet's Chile. Few gay people supported Bush yet the lesbian and gay movement is scapegoat for this year's election disaster. As Matt Foreman, Executive Director
of the NGLTF said, "There is no way to put lipstick on this pig."

Comeuppance?
| |
British Prime Minister William Gladstone was obsessed with prostitutes, in particular, their souls. As a young man in the 1840s, Gladstone spent nights cruising the streets of London trying to convert sex workers to Christianity-- occasionally in their private quarters. Gladstone
would come home from his rounds sometimes so aroused that he'd submit to a ritual of self-flagellation, at once to heighten and relieve lust that, he wrote in his diary, he found otherwise uncontrollable. |

Mourning in America
By: Jim D'Entremont
| |
Ronald Reagan, 93, the B-movie actor who became the 40th President of the United States, had the longest decline of any world leader since Spain's Francisco Franco slipped into
twilight in the 1970s. The most surprising aspect of his death was that it had not occurred long
before June 5, 2004. |

Queer Doings At Abu Ghraib
| |
"Where is our Mapplethorpe?" queried John Stewart on the "Daily Show," noting the poor composition of the now famous Abu Ghraib prison photos and the amateurish lighting.
Stewart's irreverence points to the hypocrisy of the Iraqi prisoner abuse "crisis" that lurks behind the veil of outrage mustered by everyone from Amnesty International to George W. Bush. |

Outlaws in Wedlock

Think "gay matrimony" and what image comes to mind?
Maybe you see a stream of smartly tuxedoed lesbian or gay couples
marching, freshly licensed, out of San Francisco's City Hall--
thanks, on the part of city officials,
to some bold legal sleights-of-hand. Look at those gay wedding rings!
And those fancy get-ups! No wonder divorce lawyers, like buzzards
circling a well-padded beast, salivate in anticipation. Yet it could
turn out that gay
marriage's most enduring benefits will fall to some of America's most
disadvantaged. Consider the implications of same-sex matrimony for
people in prison and those whose deviation from the
straight-and-narrow puts them on a path
to going there. |

'Queer Eye' Set to Dilate

The "Fab Five" gay men of TV's hit show "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" have always offered themselves up as role models-- for straight people. So who would've guessed that the
show's most assiduous imitators would be other sexual minorities? |

Mandatory Marriage
By: Jim D'Entremont
| |
As the USA confronts the Constitutional ramifications of gay marriage, many observers believe that nuptials between two partners of the same sex will-- at least in some
jurisdictions-- become a legally recognized option by the end of 2004. But for some activists,
an option isn't enough. |

Perhaps you've had occasion to contemplate at close range the curiously mushroomy
glans, the term for the head of the penis. Perhaps your fondness for relieving other men of their
semen has motivated your attention. |

Wank Against Cancer
| |
Conserve at all costs your semen, goes a school of Eastern mysticism-- with the claim that spunk is packed with vital energy that the body strains to replace. Packed with dangerous toxins turns out to be more on the mark. Much of what's in semen is excreted by the prostate
gland, and flushing out the prostate with frequent masturbatory orgasms-- especially when one is young-- appears to be fortify the gland against cancer, the way taking out the garbage freshens kitchen air. The most avid chronic wankers, say researchers in Australia, can cut their risk
of aggressive prostate cancer by one-third. |

'Down with Decadent Art!'
By: Jim D'Entremont
| |
When John Trobaugh was hired to teach art appreciation courses at Shelton State Community College in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, the Art Department's welcoming gesture was an invitation to exhibit his own artistic output in two school galleries. The response to both shows– one
entirely dismantled, the other bowdlerized by order of college president Rick Rogers– was not an Alabama aberration. It was consistent with widespread attitudes toward gay visibility. |
