Salt Lake City Utah Pride Center Vandalized, Charges Dismissed Against Accused In Cheyenne Williams Case, Gay Porn Star Mason Wyler Announces He Is Positive, 90210 Producer Explains Decision To Out Trevor Donovan Character, Matt Lanter Is Hot Firefighter, Jerry O’Connell Makes Excuses For Small Penis

Salt Lake City police are investigating after employees of the Utah Pride Center and the onsite coffee shop Cafe Marmalade discovered an anti-gay slut painted over the marquee in front of the building that read “FAGS.” Valerie Larabee, the executive director of the center, released a statement that read in part “We realize that often times the purpose of these actions are to cause widespread fear among the members of our community. That is why today we are speaking out. This will not be swept under the rug. We will not be scared into silence by acts of intolerance.”

Thursday, District Judge Henria Bailey-Lewis dismissed charges against two teens accused of kidnapping and attempted murder in the case of 18 year old Cheyenne Williams. The judge did so without prejudice, meaning that the charges against Ashley Sams and Corinne Schwab could theoretically be reinstated, although that appears unlikely. Williams, who is openly gay, originally alleged that the two, along with a third, a juvenile, already acquitted, had hit her with sticks, pulled her with a chain around her neck, and threatened to push her off a cliff and crush her skull. Attorneys for the two adults charges contended that the charges were concocted to cover a lie Williams had told to her mother, Sharon K. Allen Gay saying that Williams “told the story as a way to get out of trouble, and it snowballed.” However, William’s mother, Dee Johnson insists that her daughter has told the truth, and that she continues to suffer post-traumatic stress as a result of the attack. “She just can’t to this day get over what they done to her,” said Johnson, adding that “she’s just very disappointed in the court system, and so am I.”

Mason Wyler, a gay porn star, posted an entry Thursday on his blog that reads “I have something to say. I spent the last few months waiting for the right time to tell you but it turns out that there is no right time ... I wish I could put this off for a little while longer but information like this usually finds a way of coming out sooner or later. In fact, people have already begun to talk so I might as well just tell you now. I tested positive. I have only myself to blame. I have HIV and it kind of sucks.” (Site NSFW)

90210 executive producer Rebecca Sinclair explains the coming out of the heretofore heterosexual character of Teddy Montgomery, played by Trevor Donovan, saying that the CW show hopes to be able to “tell a whole range of stories that depict different facets of the issue of gayness or non-straightness, you might say,” adding that “with Teddy, we’re attempting to tell a much more dramatic story about a something that rattles him to the core. Though, thankfully, we live in an age where lots of teens are comfortable with their sexual orientation and are able to come out when they’re in high school or even before, we didn’t want to ignore the reality that for lots of kids the road to self-acceptance for a gay teenager isn’t easy.”

Donovan’s 90210 co-star Matt Lanter, meanwhile, plays hot firefighter on set.
