Anyone who's had the wacky luck to be born different knows the score. We live in a country that screams equality from the rooftops while firing its gay people, and declares "justice for all" while its police drag copulating homosexuals from their pillowtop beds. Recently in Oklahoma they've decided that even asking other men to have sex is a criminal offense.
Lonnie Latham, a Baptist minister with the least gay name in existence, was arrested for propositioning an undercover male police officer. Obviously this law doesn't apply to heteros, or every hetero male would now be serving five to ten. It's lewd conduct when a man politely asks another man if he wants to have sex, but typical red-blooded behavior to grab your crotch when a woman approaches and exhort her to "Suck on THIS!"
Fortunately, a judge decided that these overzealous police were wrong -- making one think that these judicial types should get together and discuss law more often, and maybe occasionally while sober -- and I'm sure now the cops are really, really sorry. It's no great relief for Lonnie, since this cost him his job and his reputation, but sometimes when you want to protect the public you just have to ruin people's lives.
