Can anyone find a press release from the Ft. Worth Police Department complaining about intoxicated women in straight clubs making “sexually explicit movements”? Say, strippers in topless bars, for example? Or any drunken college co-eds? Were they thrown to the ground and given a head injury because of it?
Hmmmm, I didn’t think so.

In this original BTB Investigation, we unveil the tragic story of Kirk Murphy, a four-year-old boy who was treated for “cross-gender disturbance” in 1970 by a young grad student by the name of George Rekers. This story is a stark reminder that there are severe and damaging consequences when therapists try to ensure that boys will be boys.
When we first reported on three American anti-gay activists traveling to Kampala for a three-day conference, we had no idea that it would be the first report of a long string of events leading to a proposal to institute the death penalty for LGBT people. But that is exactly what happened. In this report, we review our collection of more than 500 posts to tell the story of one nation’s embrace of hatred toward gay people. This report will be updated continuously as events continue to unfold. Check here for the latest updates.
In 2005, the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that “[Paul] Cameron’s ‘science’ echoes Nazi Germany.” What the SPLC didn”t know was Cameron doesn’t just “echo” Nazi Germany. He quoted extensively from one of the Final Solution’s architects. This puts his fascination with quarantines, mandatory tattoos, and extermination being a “plausible idea” in a whole new and deeply disturbing light.
On February 10, I attended an all-day “Love Won Out” ex-gay conference in Phoenix, put on by Focus on the Family and Exodus International. In this series of reports, I talk about what I learned there: the people who go to these conferences, the things that they hear, and what this all means for them, their families and for the rest of us.

Anti-gay activists often charge that gay men and women pose a threat to children. In this report, we explore the supposed connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse, the conclusions reached by the most knowledgeable professionals in the field, and how anti-gay activists continue to ignore their findings. This has tremendous consequences, not just for gay men and women, but more importantly for the safety of all our children.
Anti-gay activists often cite the “Dutch Study” to claim that gay unions last only about 1½ years and that the these men have an average of eight additional partners per year outside of their steady relationship. In this report, we will take you step by step into the study to see whether the claims are true.
Tony Perkins’ Family Research Council submitted an Amicus Brief to the Maryland Court of Appeals as that court prepared to consider the issue of gay marriage. We examine just one small section of that brief to reveal the junk science and fraudulent claims of the Family “Research” Council.
The FBI’s annual Hate Crime Statistics aren’t as complete as they ought to be, and their report for 2004 was no exception. In fact, their most recent report has quite a few glaring holes. Holes big enough for Daniel Fetty to fall through.

I am surprised that the ACLU has not shown up yet to take statements and start the filing of a suit. God knows if I had been there I would have already.
This is unbelievable. If i was a judge, i would sentence those bastards to be at the gay bar every Saturday for 6 months doing go-go dancing. let’s see your damn gay panic now.

actually, having served in the US Navy for 20 years and always being stuck as the ‘duty driver’ since I dont drink I can say that I have never had a police officer come in to any bar I’ve been in for anything.
Mind you they were all straight bars, topless or nude bars and the like. But I never saw any cops or heard of a cop coming into the bar looking to arrest people who were drunk unless the bar staff called them.

When I was in college there was a notorious campus security officer who’d go to off-campus bars looking for underage students who were drinking. His name–I kid you not–was Ronald McDonald. I can’t imagine he had that much power, but bartenders at places near the campus would always ask for IDs, simply because they didn’t want any trouble.
That is the only example I know of someone in a uniform going to bars specifically to find lawbreakers. Years later I played darts at a bar where a lot of off-duty cops hung out. (They were really nice guys, too–they set an excellent example.) One night the place was raided because it had illegal gambling poker video games in the back. The off-duty cops–who were there almost every Friday and Saturday night–had no clue. It was really funny. They recognized the cops who were raiding the place and asked, “Hey, what’s going on?”
