Ooh la la! Out pop star Mika, whose recent “Popular Song” was instantly adopted as an anti-bullying anthem, will continue to lend his voice to the struggle for global LGBT equality by performing at a concert in Paris.France legalized same-sex marriage in April and the free celebratory concert had originally been planned for May 17 to also mark the International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia (also known by its acronym IDAHO — say it aloud). However, due to scheduling problems it will now take place May 21. Mika, who officially confirmed his sexual orientation last year, will headline the show at Paris’ Place de la Bastille.
A national march is planned for May 26 despite polls that indicate the majority of French people are tired of the demonstrations and call for an end to the opposition to the law which was passed recently in the French Parliament.
Vaya lomo que se manda!!

We’ve spent all this timespeculating about the next professional gay athlete and how they’ll be received by fellow teammates, we hadn’t even thought about which team’s fan base may be the most progressive and accepting.Well, fans of the Portland Timbers have already beat us to the punch. In a demonstration independently planned by Timbers fans, a large section of the soccer team’s home stadium was lit up with the colors of the rainbow this weekend, accompanied by a banner reading “Pride not Prejudice.”
The outpouring of acceptance comes less than a month after Timbers player Will Johnson was verbally attacked with a gay slur for the second time on the playing field.
Too bad openly gay player Robbie Rogers is tied up with LA Galaxy—it looks like he already has a few fans in the Timbers stands!

Although knowing an actor is gay significantly affected ratings of his masculinity, there was no significant effect on ratings of his acting performance, researchers say.
- A woman was kicked off an airplane for invoking the memory of Whitney Houstonwith an off-key but impassioned rendition of “I Will Always Love You.” For god’s sake won’t they just let the woman rest? Whitney too.
- According to a Public Policy Poll, America is just not that into Justin Bieber. But if it helps,Chris Brown and Lady Gaga are equally hated, hopefully for different reasons.
