Transgender student runs for prom king

Gay youth advocates called it a landmark victory for campus gender expression and said they believe it‘s the first time in the U.S. that an openly transgender student has run for prom royalty.
Covarrubias, who wears black-and-white Vans, baggy shorts and close-cropped brown hair, sometimes identifies herself as Tony. Her date, a close female friend, plans to wear a black dress and red corsage to the prom at an outdoor reception hall surrounded by man-made waterfalls.
"We always want to do the right thing by our students," Vice Principal Sheila Uriarte said. "This is why we came to this decision."
"It‘s not like the stereotype where the king has to be a jock and he‘s there with the cheerleaders anymore," said Reyes, a senior. "We live in a generation now where dudes are chicks and chicks are dudes."
"I like lesbians, but they shouldn‘t be allowed to run for king," said senior Erich Logan, 18, as he stood outside the stately high school building.
"My freshman year I just started feeling different," she said. "When I decided to change to be like this, all of a sudden I said, ‘Wow, I feel OK. I feel like finally I‘m being me.‘"
Tiffani Sanchez, a science teacher who advises the school‘s Gay-Straight Alliance, said the decision would foster understanding of the broad spectrum of gender identities.
Covarrubias is giddily looking forward to the prom, but acknowledged being a little nervous.
"I‘m happy I actually made a difference about changing the law and the policy so you can run for your choice," Covarrubias said.

"Oh, shut the fuck up! Are you kidding me? My God, I don't even watch television. I don't like television. I never have liked it. The whole concept of sitting down in front of a TV feels like one of the things that's destroying society, as far as I'm concerned." – Gillian Anderson to the London Telegraph when asked if she'd ever return to series TV.
International Study Shows Widespread Dislike For Gay Neighbors
(New York City) An international study of attitudes towards gays shows large number of people still do not want gay neighbors.
People in Northern Ireland showed the most distain for having a gay neighbor. Thirty-six percent of those questioned said they did not want a gay or lesbian living next door.
The study, "Love Thy Neighbor: How Much Bigotry is there is Western Countries", was co-authored by Prof. Vani Borooah of the University of Ulster and Prof. John Mangan, a professor of economics at the University of Queensland in Australia.
It was based on statistics from the Human Beliefs and Values Survey, conducted in 24 Western countries between 1999 and 2002.
In Italy opposition to gay neighbors stood at nearly 29 percent, despite a recent separate poll that showed a majority of Italians believe same-sex couples should have domestic partner benefits.
The disparity between the two sets of numbers shows that people tend to support gay rights in the abstract but not are not as supportive when confronted in their own neighborhoods.
The research focused primarily on Europe and Australia. In the Republic of Ireland, 27 percent said they did not want a gay neighbor. In Austria and Greece it was 26 percent.
Nearly 25 percent of Australians do not want want gays living next door.
Overall the most welcoming country was Sweden where six per cent said they would object to having gay neighbors.

Bai Ling Nip Slip

Bai Ling was scolded by a photographer for looking too happy as she posed in the Playboy grotto during the Sammy Sideout Alzheimer's benefit. "She was posing with the biggest smile on her face," says a spy. "The photographer actually said 'Bai, stop smiling and look sexy.' She said 'Baby, this is my second home. I know how to look sexy!'"
Larry Birkhead gay?

Larry Birkhead is flexing some legal muscle now that a former male model has claimed Anna Nicole Smith's baby daddy was once his lover.
Kerrick Ross, 38, tells The National Enquirer that he met Birkhead at a party in Louisville, Ky., in 2000. "[He] had a straight aura about him, which I liked," claims Ross. "We ended up having sex that night."
"We were together for about two months and had sex eight to 10 times," claims Ross. "He often spent the whole night with me."
Birkhead denies he and Ross had a gay relationship, and he's now hired Rotweiler libel lawyer Marty Singer.
But Enquirer editor David Perel maintains that Ross "has pased a rigorous polygraph test. We also obtained independent eyewitness confirmation of their relationship. We have more information that we haven't published."
Birkhead is said to worry that The Enquirer story could hurt him in his Bahamian custody battle with Smith's mother, Virgie Arthur, over daughter Dannielynn. Says Perel: "We went to many legal experts who all said his having a gay relationship would have no bearing on the case."

Friends of what A-list diva are concerned about her recently converting to Scientology?
Even though she's publicly denied this, sources close to the superstar confirm to PerezHilton.com that she converted.
"She has slowly replaced (uncomfortably pushed out) most staff who was not into the religion," says a well-placed source. "Her long time house keeper was so uncomfortable with the new 'workers' in the house, a.k.a. Scientology folk, that she was forced to leave."
The picante diva has been shunning old friends as well and only surrounding herself with other Scientologists.
