Earlier today, Vanity Fair columnist Brett Berk apologized for labeling Glee's gay characters as fags in his cheeky "A Gay Guide To Glee" post for the publication. The F-word, which Vanity Fair admits it hasn't been too comfortable with Berk using in the past, has now been deleted from the story after pressure from GLAAD. 

While happy with the lightning-fast apologies issued, GLAAD manages to warn Vanity Fair not to get on its ugly side anytime soon...

Take it with grains of strawberry-flavored salt rimming your lunchtime margarita (is it obvious that we're looking forward to something?), but NY1 is reporting that director Julie Taymor has left her baby of nine years, the Broadway musical Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark. The scoop comes just after production staff leaked info that the beleagured musical now faces another delay, this time a three-month "reconfiguring" that pushes the show's opening to early summer. 

Reports NY1:

He added, "Quite a few people, even early on, were afraid it...

Not even an hour ago a teaser clip for tonight's episode of Lisa Ling's OWN show was released, and already the gay blogosphere is on fire about whether it'll benefit or denigrate the gay community. The subject matter of tonight's episode "Pray The Gay Away?" is as forward as the question posed in the title, and some are worried the conversation Lisa is hoping to start isn't the most LGBT-friendly. 

Lucky for those hoping to voice their opinions directly to Lisa's (and Gayle's) earholes, producers have just announced that a live discussion will take place following the airing.

As a City Council election that will chart the course of West Hollywood's near future readies for Tuesday, folks in the counterculture mecca, including incumbents and challengers alike, are at odds over how the city should mature.

Challengers to three West Hollywood City Council incumbents think the gayborhood, which has for decades served as a safe and celebratory home for LGBT flocking to it from around the world, worry the city is beginning to assimilate into the mainstream.

“I believe we’re at risk of being in a situation where West Hollywood is no different than Beverly Hills or Calabasas,” said Scott Schmidt, a City Council candidate. “West Hollywood has a special place in the heart of the gay and lesbian community, and people...

In another free-speech ruling issued this week in favor of anti-gay sentiment, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeal has OK'd "Be Happy, Not Gay" t-shirts in the Indian Prairie School District. The school district brought the case to the court in the hopes of outlawing the homophobic slogans so that students' "feelings aren't hurt," but the appellate court has rejected their plea.
