No Pain, No Gain? If The Moose needs someone to massage his groin leg, just call me. (NYT)

Rocky Mountain Sigh: Legislation that would allow Colorado same-sex couples to adopt passed in the Senate Wednesday despite a flurry of attacks by Republicans. "This is a remake of the homosexual agenda," warned Sen. Scott Renfroe. I'll say it is, Scott. It's getting to the point where you can't find any homosexuals around to have an orgy with anymore. Too many toys in all the bedrooms and on the floor -- where's a fag supposed to f**k? (365Gay)

Pretty Boys Club: John Edwards likes us, he really likes us! (AP)

Twist of Fate: If it's possible for the Duke lacrosse players accused of rape to get their reputations back it's all because the North Carolina attorney general is doing everything in his power to see that it happens. Who'd have thunk it? (Newsweek)

Hairy Situation: It turns out David Beckham's hair was nothing a little gel couldn't fix. (People)

Probe Redux! Crystal methamphetamine use by gay men in Los Angeles is increasing at an alarming rate according to a new study that also shows gay meth users are five times more likely to test positive for HIV. I'm so sure. Crystal is so 1990. (Source)

Pretty Man: Relive Richard Gere's life in photos. This one's my favorite, above, for obvious reasons. (People)

I (Essentially) Do: Washington state has passed its same-sex partnership law. "It is an important step, I believe, for turning back the horrendous law that this legislature passed in 1998, to deny gay and lesbian families the right to marry," said state Sen. Ed Murray, who is one of five openly gay members of the legislature. (AP)

Auto Erotica: Is your car gay by design, or is it a lifestyle choice? (NYT)

Desperate, But Not Serious? It's been revealed that Madonna is working on her latest album with pop-tart Justin Timberlake. This doesn't sound good. (IE) (Is this another attempt at a "Comeback"?)

Bad Idea, Dumbf**K!!! The proposed "Blogging Code of Conduct" to impose civility on the Internet is not going over very well in the blogosphere. Time to turn on your comment moderation! (AFP)

Financial AIDS: How did death-walker Marc Anthony get enough money to owe $2.5 million in the first place? (AP)

Changing Lanes: The nation’s only 24-hour suicide prevention hotline for gay and questioning youth announced Wednesday that the actor Nathan Lane and television network Bravo are the recipients of honorary awards. I thought this was great until the article referred to Lane's nuanced portrayals of gay characters in such films as "The Birdcage," at which point they completely lost me. (Source)

RIP: Kurt Vonnegut, the satirical novelist who captured the absurdity of war and questioned the advances of science in darkly humorous works such as "Slaughterhouse-Five" and "Cat's Cradle," died Wednesday. He was 84. (AP)

RIP: The wonderful actor Roscoe Lee Browne has died in Los Angeles at 81. I didn't know him by name, but he was one of those character actors who always brought so much to every role he played, my favorite being the snobbish black lawyer who got trapped in an elevator with Archie Bunker on the classic sitcom "All in the Family." Although he was robbed of an Emmy for that one, they made it up to him years later when he got one for "The Cosby Show." He will be missed. (AP)
