Anti-gay statute

2002-04-02 18:36:32+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Via Ron over on the SHS: the headline screams Prosecutor uses anti-gay sex statute to charge six men in prositution(sic) case, the reality seems to be that a few guys were having sex in an adult bookstore theater and he couldn't find anything else to charge them under. The real gem, however, is this statement so rife with internal contradiction that I'm sure my head would explode if I tried to say it out loud:

"It is not my intention to judge the conduct of consenting adults," Wilkins told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for a story in yesterday's editions. "This is not about throwing homosexuals in jail. This is about trying to prevent future conduct."
