Friend or foe

FRIEND Actor HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN, who refuses to deny gay rumors, saying that he enjoys the speculation and that it's "fun," Watch for a new Star Wars movie starring "Darth Phyllis."

FOE Parents of students at VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL in West Des Moines, Iowa, who are objecting to a production of The Laramie Project in part because of its inclusion of gay people. Please change your minds, Mom and Dad, Grease has been done to death.

FRIENDS ELTON JOHN and GEORGE MICHAEL, for ending their public feud. Maybe now when he needs a break George can visit Elton instead of a public park.

FOE STEPHEN HARPER, Canada's prime minister, for appointing a lawyer who represented antigay groups in the legal battle against same-sex marriage to the Ontario superior court of justice. And we thought the worst thing to happen to Toronto this year was the musical of The Lord of the Rings.

FRIEND LATVIAN LAWMAKERS, who rejected a proposed ban on "homosexual propaganda" in the media. I can't wait to see Will & Grace in Latvian.

FOE NEPAL, whose latest government has continued the previous regimes' "cleansing drive" by rounding up gays and transgender people, even arresting some for simply carrying condoms. Don't expect a Mount Everest circuit party anytime soon.
