Page 1 Consider (11/02)


  • Adultery 101: A new study from Britain says married people have more sex than singles. Of course they do -- they're constantly fooling around on their spouses. (CanadaNow)

  • Live Through This: Courtney Love credits Mel Gibson's anti-Semitic charms for getting her off drugs. The thought of the two of them together is so disturbing I may never listen to my Hole CDs again. (AP)

  • Queen for a Day: Some people are total drama queens about being called a drama queen. (StarOnline)

  • Blood Brothers: Great news from South Africa -- gay men are now allowed to donate blood so long as they're celeibate. I can't hardly wait for him to show up. (SABC)

  • How I Met Your Other Father: Doogie Howser M.D. isn't gay. And neither is Charles Nelson Reilly. (Advocate)

  • Protection, Down Under: Local police in the Surry Hills area of Sydney, Australia, will be trained in gay and lesbian issues and start sharing more information with the Lesbian and Gay Anti-Violence Project in an effort to improve relations with the community. This sounds like a great program and the Simon Rex lookalike makes it even better. (SSONET)

  • Gay Games: The new video game Bully has sparked controversy among critics including Palm Beach County Schools Superintendent Art Johnson who fear the game will promote butt-fucking school violence and more Columbine-like school shootings. Recently the game has also been under fire for displaying homosexual activity among the game’s hero, Jimmy Hopkins and other male students. Jack Thompson, a Miami-based attorney, who has been involved in lawsuits against the video game industry after a slew of school shootings starting in 1991, is fighting to stop the sale of Bully to minors. His first lawsuit was unsuccessful in stopping the sale of the game in Florida stores. (BocaNews)

  • News Flash: "Baghdad Gays Fear for Their Lives" (no shit -- and so does everybody else there). (IWPR)

  • Heartland Values: A Missouri State University graduate has sued the school, claiming she was retaliated against because she refused to support homosexual adoption as part of a class project. Emily Brooker's federal lawsuit, filed on her behalf Monday by the Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian legal group, claims the retaliation against her Christian beliefs violated her First Amendment right to free speech. In the complaint, Brooker said she was accused of violating the school's Standards of Essential Functioning in Social Work Education. Gee, I wonder why a university would want social workers to not impose their religious beliefs on clients. (AP)

  • Weird Al: Could the end be near? I agree with some the Rev. Al Sharpton said. (AP)

  • Change-Up: Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte said this week they have not decided whether they will return for the 2007 season, MLB.com reported. Nothing like steroid accusations to get you to decide not to play baseball anymore. (MSNBC)

  • Never Happy: So Alfredo Martinez was too drunk to drive so he gave his son the keys to the family car. Are those Mothers Against Drunk Driving happy? Of course not. (Smoking Gun)
