That t-shirt is emblematic of the reasons many municipalities now drape people who have been arrested when taking their mug shots. If everyone gets draped with a towel, no bias can be attached to whatever clothes they might be wearing, whether it's a suit, an unsuitable t-shirt or just rags.
But I'm glad that municipality doesn't do that. I needed the laugh.

Because there's nothing funnier than domestic violence, teratoma. Most abusers do love their marriage...and with a power imbalance like that, what's not to love?

The porn twins story is amazing especially the "straight" ones initial escape from the police - if that were in a movie you would never believe it. Another young beauty lost to porn and then crime - sux!

I agree with you Derrick, he does resemble Tyrone. I think I remember hearing rumors of Ty being bi?

JESUSFUCKINGCHRIST!
What is wrong with us? Do we not get mad anymore when we are discriminated against? I don't care if the bar was withing their legal right to refuse service. It's just plain wrong. It's just as wrong when it was legal to refuse service to blacks in the non-too-distant past.
Misunderstanding my ass. The 'exceeding the reservation limit' is clear bullshit. Bars survive by selling their booze. The only reason a bar would not serve someone, that is both legal AND morally just, is if they are too drunk already.
I hope people continue to protest Union Bar. The gathering organizers have no business telling people to chill out. They are out of line excusing the bar for their discrimination.
Too many times in the past month, this blog has reported occurrences of discrimination, ranging from something like this and all the way up to murder.
We need to start venting some of our outrage again. Enough of this 'Mr. Nicegay' crap for a while.

Union Bar:
miscommunication = oh shit! we shouldn't have kept the goddamn gays out. i didn't think it would go national. this may hurt our business.

I have no way of proving this, but I've been thinking lately...I think it's a lot easier for institutions to discriminate against gays, thereby earning the loyalty of their bigoted customers/audience/what have you, and then apologize about it later to the LGBT population, then to just do the right thing in the first place. That way they get to have it both ways.
Like I said, I can't prove it, I just have a feeling there's always some guys in the back rooms going "don't go along with the gays, we don't want to alienize our customers, just write the gays an apology later."

Forget the story of the porn twins for a minute, did anybody check out the details story of Jorg Haider and his lover?

geez, i had no idea that my angry e-mail would elicit such a swift capitulation from the Union Bar. (i kid.) but they felt pressure from all sides, i guess.
still, DONNY B has a point. it is always easier to kick someone in the nads and then, later, say i'm sorry if i offended anyone. and, PATRICKPATRICK, i agree. why should those slimeballs get off so easily?

Sean,
have you regained your composure? i think that Zac is a beauty. i would prefer him sweaty rather than muddy. i would lick him in all his private places. he makes my flack-sid peen stand at attention, and i am one of those old queers that you berate.
