    Sacked Grey’s Anatomy star Isaiah Washington has found an unlikely supporter – a homosexual men activist has launched a petition to have him return to the hit show.
The actor was being fired from the medical drama earlier this month (Jun07), following public outrage after calling castmate T.R. Knight “a faggot” last October (06) – a comment he then repeated at the Golden Globe Awards earlier this year (07).

But homosexual men activist Jasmyne Cannick, who worked with Washington at the Pan African Arts Festival, has spearheaded the campaign to clear the star’s name and have him reinstated on the show – and now has 1,233 signatures of support.

The petition believes Washington’s sacking “further adds to a disturbing new trend at Abc wherein minority actors have been dismissed at an alarming rate over the past two years.

CHICAGO – Nevermind that Chicago hosted the 2006 International Gay Games. Or that it has the country’s first government-recognized homosexual men neighborhood. Or that up to 400,000 people attend the city’s Gay Pride Parade each year.

When most people think of homosexual men-friendly cities, Chicago – hog butcher to the world, home of the Blues Brothers, legendary playground of Al Capone – isn’t even on the map. While New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles long ago established themselves as America’s homosexual men meccas, Chicago’s reach has seldom extended beyond the Midwest.

But city officials, including Mayor Richard M. Daley, and members of the homosexual men community are hoping a new community center – the largest in the region – establishes Chicago as a national destination for homosexual mens, with resources geared toward both residents and tourists.

SAN FRANCISCO — The airman’s dress blues are faded, the footlocker he carried through three tours in Vietnam has gone to rust. Yet the epitaph he chose to mark his grave is still as fresh as today’s headlines: “When I was in the military they gave me a medal for killing two men and a discharge for loving one.”

Leonard Matlovich’s medals, uniform and other personal effects make up the centerpiece of “Out Ranks,” a new exhibit that documents the tortured relationship between homosexual men troops and the U.S. military from World War II to the present.

Matlovich, who died in 1988, was a decorated Air Force sergeant who came out to his commanding officer a month before the fall of Saigon, hoping to challenge the government’s ban on homosexual men service members. In 1975, the idea of an openly homosexual men combat veteran was incongruous enough to land him on the cover of Time magazine.
