I just received an email in my inbox from Danny Dromm of the Queens City Council and his help needed in rallying folks to attend the March and Rally Against Hate Crime in College Point, Queens.

With Melrose Place being such a huge guilty pleasure in the 90s, we were a bit wary about the recent WB network reboot, with Ashlee Simpson and a comeback by Sydney Andrews (who was mowed down by a hit-and-run driver in her wedding dress years ago).

We’re happy to hear that many of our favorite Bollywood celebrities have been celebrating along with all of us over the recent Indian High Court decision to overturn Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, which outlaws homosexuality.
