The
Larry Craig Phenomenon Again - This Time in Indiana - Arthur S. Leonard in
the Leonard Link,
There has reportedly been a renewed spate of undercover police arrests of men
cruising restrooms and parks since the Larry Craig story hit the news. This
is, of course, an old story, a cat-and-mouse game played between law
enforcement and men - many closeted, some relatively openly gay - going back
many decades. And every now and then an appellate decision surfaces showing
how the game may be played. The latest I’ve seen is from the Indiana Court
of Appeals, Isom v. State of Indiana, 2007 WL 3287515, an unofficially
published decision available on Westlaw that is dated November 8, 2007.
Iraq
Struggles to Stop Persecution of Gays - by Deb Price in The
Detroit News, April 16, 2007
Militias warn Iraqi families they will be murdered if they don't hand over
or kill their gay relatives.
An Iraqi family pays ransom for the return of a gay man, only to learn
later that his mutilated body has been found.
An Iraqi father is released without being tried for hanging his gay son to
defend the family's "honor."
Secretive religious "courts" try, sentence and execute gays.

Is it racist to say that the Palestinian Authority is light-years behind
Israel in terms of LGBT equality? And why is the highest-profile international
