It's redistricting season in the city of Los Angeles, and the Log Cabin Republicans want to have their say in how city council district lines get redrawn.

Bristol Palin took a ride on the mechanical bull at Saddle Ranch, but it looks like the heckling from the crowd is what really threw her off. A drunk dude called her mom a "whore," and Palin fired back that he probably hated her because he was a homosexual. Here's how the battle of the brains went down. more ›

If there's any silver lining to the cloudy days ahead wrought by Prop. 8, it's that bigotry so foul comes with a price too heavy for some of its chief proponents to bear.

I love Sunset Junction because I love to see the people of LA. I love the kids, the surfers, the young Mexicans, the gays, the hotties, the locals, the tourists, and the punkers. I like seeing them all in one place, smiling, interacting, getting pushed up against each other, drinking beers, eating chicken off a stick, listening to classic punk and soul, checking out the girlies under their parasols. I like that the vibe... more ›

By week's end, LA is littered with dozens of free rags. LAist reads the weeklies so you don't have to. If there's anything we missed, let us know, or better yet drop it in the comments section below.

LAist was minding its own business last night at Boardener's having drinks with Gothamist co-Founder Jen Chung, and after we did as much damage to her expense account as we could, we ran into two of our favorite gays.

Today we got an email from a concerned Pepperdine alumn whose words made us think that there just might be trouble in paradise Dear Editor: As an alumnus of Pepperdine University, I am deeply troubled by recent events at the University and the active suppression of free speech on campus.

We've got no problem with gays. We've got no problem with Christians. Hell, some of our best friends are Republicans. What we have a problem with are people with power who live gigantic lies and influence legislation that they don't really believe in.

The latest Republican Senator accused of being a homosexual... more ›
