  • A group of students at St. Joseph's College of Communication at Chenganassery in Kerala, India were expelled for making a 5-minute film that simply discussed homosexuality. College students. In a communications program. Wow.
  • BBC Two presenter Jeremy Clarkson criticized for using Cockney rhyming slang for "queer" to describe a car on his show, Top Gear. Favorite line: "Last year, he was cleared of making a racist slur about Germany because this was adjudged to be amusing rather than offensive."
  • Here is an interview with Torchwood creator Russell T Davies who talks a bit about fluid sexuality and writing for us gays
  • If you're not familiar with the Cartoon Network's animated show Moral Orel, Sunday's New York Times has a nice primer to the show about 11 year-old Oral Puppington who is trying to make sense of religion. Helping him do so is his dad Clay, an apparently closeted gay man who yearns for to get it on with Orel's gym coach. Naturally, he's a homophobe. There is a clip of the show after the jump.
