Anti-gay mayor of Spokane, Washington caught in molestation and abuse of office scandal involving young men he met in the 70’s and more recently on Gay.com. Mayor James E. West is “a vocal opponent of gay equality, abortion rights, and teenage sex” according to the Advocate. West reportedly offered an 18-year-old he met on Gay.com “gifts, favors and a City Hall internship” says the Spokesman-Review. Yet he says he doesn’t consider himself gay. West: “There’s been a strong wall between my public life and my private life.”

FDA set to ban gay men from being anonymous sperm donors. Says AIDS risk too great. Rule would apply to any man who has engaged in homosexual sex in the last five years. Lambda Legal: “There’s a steadily increasing trend of heterosexual transmission of HIV, and yet the FDA still has this notion that you protect people by putting gay men out of the pool.”
