Paramount has given Benedict Cumberbatch'sStar Trek Into Darknesscharacter a name, Beyoncewhich I'm going to treat as a spoiler, except it appears nobody has ever heard of the name, so it may mean nothing.

Why is a penis called a penis? Or a pizzle?

Beyoncehas inked a $50 million deal with Pepsi for a commercial, tour sponsorship, and a bunch of undefined creative options to be hashed out later.

Hate crimes against GLBT people increased slightly last year according to new statistics released by the FBI. Of the incidents reported with a single bias, 20.8% of them were due to sexual orientation, up from 19.3% the previous year.

My old tea buddy Maggie Gallagher thinks that DOMA will be struck down by the Supreme Court, and Justice Roberts may even vote for that. But she thinks that SCOTUS will uphold Prop 8 as constitutional because they won't be ready to make marriage equality the law of the land (they could easily strike down Prop 8 without doing that). It feels good to hear that even the opposition is starting to feel the way the wind is blowing.

Kevin ClashShah's of Sunset start Lilly Ghalichiis apologizing for her comment that she feared getting AIDS from a swimsuit that had been tried on by someone else.

A fourth accuser has come forward alleging former Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash had sex with him while he was underage, and that in this case, Clash paid for him to visit in New York City, which is a serious felony if true.

The Merck Foundation has become the latest group to drop funding for the Boy Scouts of America for their anti-gay policies. "The BSA's policy of exclusion based on sexual orientation directly conflicts with the Merck Foundation’s giving guidelines.  The Foundation re-evaluated funding for the BSA when the organization restated its policy that excludes members on the basis of sexual orientation.  Merck Foundation has notified the BSA of this decision."

The New York City Health Department has released a study on which neighborhoods are experiencing which sexually transmitted diseases most frequently. Syphilis is big in wealthy neighborhoods like Soho, Murray Hill, and the Upper West Side. Chlamydia is big in South Bronx, Central Brooklyn, and Northern Manhattan, while HIV is on the rise in Bed-Stuy, Williamsburg, Crown Heights, and Harlem.

A monkey wearing a shearling coat was found wandering an IKEA in Toronto. The owner had left it in a cage in the car, but the monkey was smart enough to get out and go shopping. Or maybe he just wanted some meatballs.

RuPaulThere is a gay player in the European Division I hockey league. His remarkable story of self discovery is quite a read, but while he remains nameless, I can't help but think there are enough clues to figure out who he is without a lot of effort.
