Sullivan glances at the issue of homophobia in the black community by following up an excerpt from the Gallup press release with a heavy-handed rhetorical question: "And does anyone believe that it is a coincidence that the most homophobic racial group in America also has the highest rate of HIV transmission?"

Sullivan invites even more ire from black gay bloggers who have already accused him — and fellow gay blogger Dan Savage — of blaming increased black turnout in the recent Presidential election for the passage of California's Proposition 8.

Gay blogger Rod 2.0 answers the Sullivan/Savage tag team by asking, "Not One Black Gay/Lesbian Couple in 'No on Prop 8' Ads. Why?" and adding:

Rod 2.0 points readers to this item on Jack and Jill Politics as a rebuttal of what he says are "racist talking points pushed by revisionist hack Andrew Sullivan and sex columnist Dan Savage." — Fred McKindra

A sad day for cash-strapped porn enthusiasts: YouTube is cracking down on porn content — even the soft-core variety.

The site is launching what it calls a "stricter standard for mature content," which will presumably affect enterprising porn stars advertising their personal websites with softcore clips from upcoming videos.

No word as to whether the digital recordings of go-go-boy performances from L.A. to Rio will be snatched.

Oh well, there's always tube8.com. (And you may content yourself with YouTube's many quasi-porn offering, of which the above is a ripe example. Filth, as Tom Lehrer reminded us, in the mind of the beholder.)
