• I don't even know what the ATP World Tour is, but if it involves a calendar with shirtless tennis players, it's alright by me.

• A new exhibition at the British Library includes some revealing information about how gay characters and themes have been suppressed in the theatre. Quite!

• Above, from our newsy sib site, 365Gay: HIV/AIDS is spreading in parts of the South at alarming rates, in two communities in particular. Randall Pinston has the story.
