Thanks to Towleroad for tracking down this fantastic Super Bowl commercial teaser (video after the jump). Yes, the Super Bowl has gotten so big that the commercials have teaser trailers. Insane. As a long-time Star Wars fan, this one certainly has me excited. A dozen dogs of all shapes and sizes bark the Imperial March [...]

Toronto Police Mounted unit names donated horse ‘Moose’ after Brendan Burke
A horse is a horse, of course of course…. Sorry I just couldn’t resist. This has been in the works for a while, but on Sunday Toronto Maple Leafs Gm Brian Burke donated a horse to the Toronto Police Mounted unit. The horse was named “Moose,” which apparently was the nickname of his late son, [...]

He wants that changed. “I would love to get another dog in the future,” he told theGrio. “I think it would be a big step for me in the rehabilitation process. I [...]
Chad Ochocinco gets naked for PETA
Regardless of your thoughts about PETA, the animal rights group really knows how to get attention. And regardless of your thoughts about Bengals wideout Chad Ochocinco, he really has a rocking body. Put the two together and you get Ochocinco going nude (with a football strategically placed) in a PETA anti-fur campaign, “Ink Not Mink.” [...]

Weir doesn’t care how animals are tortured
Out magazine has the latest interview with Johnny Weir. He still doesn’t like Evan Lysacek (can’t blame him). He still thinks wearing fur is OK (and doesn’t care how animals are tortured). And he is still not talking about his sexuality (but will in an upcoming book). One interesting tidbit did jump out at me; [...]
Johnny Weir taunts PETA in new ad
Johnny Weir professes his love for fur in a new ad. He takes the camera through his closet, showing off fur and skin products specifically from fox, beaver, lynx, python. I’m all for Weir being his own person and going over the top, but this makes me like him less. There’s just no need for [...]
Castro gays wrestle in oil for Gulf wildlife
Some gay men in San Francisco found an excuse to wrestle one another in oil on the streets of the Castro this weekend. Their reason: To raise money for wildlife in the Gulf of Mexico. “How noble is that?” one man commented, as he watched the spectacle from across the street. “It’s not just gratuitous [...]
Corinne Hunt and her 1014 Olympic medals
As the Winter Olympics fade into history, we can’t leave them without celebrating Corinne Hunt, the lesbian First Nation artist who designed those unusual medals. I’ve been watching the Olympics on TV since the 1960s, and can’t remember another Games with medals that stood out so sharply for their powerful — if controversial — presence. [...]

Should we celebrate Manu Ginobili killing a bat?
It seems everyone on ESPN has been celebrating Manu Ginobli’s killing of a bat during his game earlier this week. If you haven’t seen it, he swatted a flying bat out of the air (video after the jump). But every time I see it I can’t help but get angry. I understand humans think they [...]
The year of girl power
It’s one of those moments when a champion racehorse becomes a symbol for human aspirations. This year, so many outstanding fillies are out there — including the remarkable Zenyatta — that touts are calling it “the year of girl power.” But it’s 3-year-old Rachel Alexandra that has women and girls flooding to the tracks to [...]
Gay Polo League and the Station Fire
Outsports has been hearing regular updates from the Gay Polo League, recently formed in the Los Angeles area and rolling forward to exciting success — new members, new opportunities to play with non-gay teams. Key to their success is a solid relationship with the California Polo Club, which runs a polo school and supports the [...]
NFL Shop has Vick jerseys for your dog
A couple years ago we uncovered a delicate issue with the NFL’s Shop that wouldn’t allow people to put the word “Gay” on a customizable NFL jersey, despite the fact that one of the League’s player was named Randall Gay (they have since corrected the problem, though they still do not allow “Lesbian” or “Queer”).
