Court in Malta Rules That Calling Someone Gay Isn’t An Insult

HN-Malta.jpg

Speaking of unsolved gay murders… A gay man on the small Mediterranean island of Malta was murdered and the local paper, when reporting on the crime, noted that the victim was gay.  The victim’s brother proceeded to sue the paper for defaming the memory of his brother.  Well, shit.  It turns out the dead fella was gay, and a court magistrate ruled today that the paper was only reporting the facts, and such facts are no longer considered defamatory in today’s society. Though homosexuality was a criminal offense in Malta up until 1973, the judge suggested that the victim’s brother suck it up and deal with the fact that it’s 2008 and that he’s probably a macho prick who made his fag brother’s life miserable while he was alive.  Okay, he didn’t say that. But we just did.

Maneaters! Five Unsolved Gay Serial Killer Mysteries

GC-GaySerialKillersDahmerTH.jpg

Remember Jeffrey Dahmer?  Who could forget that hottie, right? After hearing about the “smiley face” case, in which over 40 college guys have gone missing after nights of drinking and been found dead in rivers across the country, we decided to re-open the files on some other unsolved gay serial killings.  Granted, the possible motive in the “smiley-face” killings has not been revealed, but the sexual component of serial murder, coupled with the reasonably attractive, drunk college status of the victims, as well as our own tendency

If You Call Jesse Metcalfe Gay One More Time, He’ll Fucking KILL YOU. (Now Do You Believe He’s Straight?)


CS-metcalfefist.jpg

-Neither do we. Reports are surfacing that former Desperate Houseboy Jesse Metcalfe became so drunk and riled up about rumors Perez Hilton “started” over his “alleged” homosexuality that he became hostile and threatened to murder him. “That was quite negative energy. He was drunk and said he wanted me dead,” Hilton (real name Mario Lavandeira) told Contact Music. “I was quite shocked. I’d only joked that he might be gay, what’s the big deal?”

How exactly Hilton was shocked that somebody wanted him dead remains a mystery, but it’s worth pointing out that if Hilton does now go missing, Metcalfe has evidently tossed his hat into the ring to become prime suspect, along with Rumer Willis, Lindsay Lohan, Clay Aiken, and Beyoncè Knowles, all of whom probably want the unruly blogger dead also.

Mom Thought He Was Straight?: Montgomery Clift

GCMontyClift300x300TH.jpg The Sword isn’t exclusively interested in drug- adoring porn stars and modern celebrities who can’t keep their shirts on. We’re also fascinated with the proto-homos of yesteryear — the ones like Rock, Tony and Paul — who helped build the foundation of twentieth century fagdom from deep within their Hollywood Hills closets. We also have a special affection for later gays like Elton, Truman, Charles and Freddie who pre-dated AIDS and parades, were modest in their outness, and who, therefore, our mothers were pretty clueless about until we told them. Today we look at another fellow from the former camp, a closeted leading man with a face and a body that would make any modern ‘mo feel tingly down there.

Gay Icon-In-Training Bobbi Kristina Tries To Stab Whitney, Slits Wrists, Gets Committed


CS-bobbikristina.jpg

“Oh no she di-in’t!” chimed our text message inboxes this morning upon arrival at TheSword HQ. Apparently, days before Bobbi Kristina Brown’s 15th birthday extravaganza she became engaged in an argument with her crack-smoking, cradle-robbing, unstoppably diva mother Whitney Houston (over pot smoking, perhaps?). Understandably fed up with all the drama, Bobbi pulled out a razor blade and attempted to stab the queen of the night before turning the blade on herself, slashing her wrists in an angst-ridden suicidal fit of Degrassi proportions. However, instead of seeing a school counselor and spending the night in the ER, Bobbi K was tossed into a maximum security psych ward in Atlanta, Georgia. Clearly Whitney’s not taking any chances on her ungrateful, unloved, badass teenage offspring coming at her with a knife again. Didn’t she see The Bodyguard? Whitney knows how to cover her fabulous ass from crazed “fans” like her daughter. The fact that all of this news sources back to the National Enquirer notwithstanding, we think we have a new diva on our hands.

Today in Int’l Gay News: China’s Anti-Gay Crackdown, Oprah Talks to Gays Around Globe

HN-IntlGaysOprahTH.jpg

Life for gays in China is more difficult than usual lately, with the Chinese government appearing to be launching some sort of crackdown on cruising areas, bars and bathhouses in advance of the Beijing Olympics-because of course the Chinese haven’t figured out that gays are actually a boon to a country’s cultural and economic vitality, not an embarrassment.

Also, Oprah’s doing a whole “gays around the world” show today, featuring that gay prince from India.

Love Songs: Our First Porn Music Revue

MM-springbreakTH.jpg

Here at Sword HQ we get so inundated with all of the brutally hot XXX-hardcore action of gay pornography that even when we scrunch our eyes closed all we see are spinning patterns of huge dicks. That being said, you can’t blame us for getting at least an eensy-bit bored by all of the slobbering, pumping, humping and thrusting, and we often skip to the more hilarious B-roll of “acting” set-ups that make porn the campiest American art form. The ultimate bonus is when a porn, especially from the 80s, has an
amazing theme song

CBS Gives Gay Soap Opera Supercouple a PG-Rating, Everyone Else Blueballs


MM-nuketh.jpg

It has recently been brought to our attention that there is a really hot daytime television gay couple on As The World Turns! Alas, their increasingly sporadic appearances on the broadcast have some fans getting their gay panties in a twist. The first gay-male couple on a soap opera to be given their own substantial romantic narrative, Luke Snyder (played by Van Hansis) and Noah Mayer (Jake Silbermann)-commonly referred to as “Nuke” in portmanteau-have a dedicated fanbase of gays and straights alike who look forward to seeing the stages of their innocent romance unfold in a format usually reserved for more traditional and Christian-friendly plot lines like serial killers, evil husband-snatching twins, the living dead, witches, exorcisms, child rape, and its flagship lurid heterosexual affairs with gratuitous lingerie and softcore makeout scenes.

Homos Won’t Get Groove Back in Jamaica, Might Get Killed

HN-JamaicaGaysTH.jpg

The New York Times is always particularly good at these sort of newsflashes, but for any gays out there who didn’t already know, Jamaica is not exactly a fun and friendly gay tourist destination.  In fact, if you’re gay and you happen to live in this tropical island paradise and decide to throw a dinner party for a couple of your gay friends, you may find an angry mob outside your house wielding machetes!  Not cool guys, so not cool.

Ryan Idol May or May Not be Stealing Money from Children Who Need Computers


HN-ryanidol.jpg

Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford is on the receiving end of public scrutiny for his attempt to launch a new charity organization aimed at providing every student in the Alabama county with a computer. Reminiscent of a charity he launched in 2000 as mayor of Fairfield, prior donors and federal prosecutors are looking into some allegedly frivolous spending “including payments on personal credit card bills, expenses for ‘elaborate’ trips and checks written to a star of gay-porn films.”

That star of “gay-porn films” happens to be none other than Ryan Idol, last seen performing in the off-Broadway revival of “The Ritz” in Fall of 2007.

Apparently Wearing High Heels to School Will Still Get You Killed

HN-Lawrence_KingTH.jpg

We’re not trying to make light here.  This poor kid, Lawrence King, was shot the other day in Oxnard, California essentially because a homophobic 8th grade classmate couldn’t deal with the fact that he was a flamboyant fag and wore makeup and high heels to school.  He died.  As of today the shooter, Brandon David McInerney, has been charged with a hate crime and will likely face a murder trial as an adult.  We’re making an exception to our general preference of avoiding depressing news to give a shout-out to all the faglets out there who-like the band of sissies who rioted outside the Stonewall Inn the night of Judy Garland’s funeral-can’t hide their gayness no matter how hard they try, even if it would make their lives “easier.”  Stay strong, kids.

Queens, Unicorns, and Marilyn Manson: This Magical Week in Gay Photos

GC-phototop.jpg Oh, what a gay week it was! In between fashion week parties, Marc Jacobs’ assorted scandals, and Cher‘s diva meltdowns during Grammy practice, there were actually some photos taken that we feel emerged at the top of the big, flaming, online-media heap. From mesh-covered Manson fans to John Mayer in a major one-sy, we chose ten faggy photos that will be burned into our retinas for longer than we care to think about. After the jump, see who made the top ten on our gaydar for the unbearable workweek of February 4th through 8th!

‘Milk’ Movie Shoot Photo Roundup

MM-MilkMovieTH.jpg Gus Van Sant’s Harvey Milk biopic-starring Sean Penn as Milk with James Franco as his lover Scott Smith, Emile Hirsch as fellow activist Cleve Jones, and Josh Brolin as City Supervisor and Milk murderer Dan White-has been shooting in San Francisco the past few weeks, heavily using the Castro for location shoots.  We have to admit to a certain amount of excitement over seeing the recreation of the era (sexual and otherwise) nearest and dearest to the collective gay heart.  Also, after the jump: Sean Penn and James Franco shirtless and hugging!
