Well, equality is slow it seems as The Court of Appeals, the highest court in New York State, failed Wednesday to issue its widely expected ruling on same-sex marriage. We have to wait some more.

Wow this following story is like a gay porn meets an action movie. A police raid on an Albuquerque bathhouse got a little out of control when officers allegedly were wearing bullet proof vests and armed with semiautomatic weapons and ushering naked men into hallways and handcuffing them. I mean everyone wants to run into a hot cop at a bathhouse, butthis is ridiculous! [via 365 gay]

Finally... The Meigs County Sheriff's Department is investigating a possible hate crime after someone burned a cross at the home of a gay man in Athens, TN. State officials said that this may be a hate crime. May be? hmmm. let's think of what else it oculd be. Maybe Madonna was in town shooting a new video. [via Knox News]
