Officers said they were served beer, then went into a detailed account of the sexual activities they observed.<BR/><BR/>The warrant also states officers' fears that "sending us into this place again puts us or any other undercover officer in danger of sexual assault and/or great bodily harm and/or injury." The officers did not say that they were assaulted or even approached while undercover, however.</I>"<BR/><BR/>So, the big butch men with guns were afraid of gay men, and that's why the riot gear was justified?

No, not in that way! Oh, I did get a bj at a Halloween party I attended there, but that's all, I swear! Anyhoo, as I remember it, it wasn't a bathhouse per se...friends of mine actually used it as a serious gym. It was just a gym that also had a REALLY cruisy shower room that had frequent boy piles. They also had parties on a fairly frequent basis, some sex parties, some not (the Halloween party I went to wasn't a sex party, but then again, who hasn't gotten a little action in a dark corner at a party...stop judging me!). My point is, it is neither a traditional gym nor a bathhouse (not that there's anything wrong with that), and I'm really surprised they can use private parties as a way to bust them for liquor license rule-breaking.ChristopherMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13032361690288998090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16010478.post-1152795555195364162006-07-13T05:59:00.000-07:002006-07-13T05:59:00.000-07:00"Call me ParanoidProf, but it’s not that far a jum..."Call me ParanoidProf, but it’s not that far a jump to go from saying that a group of gay men can’t have sex in a private club to saying a couple of gay men can’t have sex in a private house."<BR/><BR/>It's not paranoia, nor a hugh leap, just a sad reality.Laura Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18097043270243212897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16010478.post-1152776991212130712006-07-13T00:49:00.000-07:002006-07-13T00:49:00.000-07:00I did note that as soon as I hear GayProf saying h...I did note that as soon as I hear GayProf saying he was going to NM, suddenly people in riot gear and guns are raiding bathhouses in New Mexico. "Is this a coincidence?" I ask myself, "Or part of a larger conspiracy to try and keep Gayprof in a state of constant sexual frustration?"<BR/><BR/>I am keeping my mind open, and will be watching the Boston papers carefully for series of police raids where the gay men detained are questioned: "He may have just moved from Texas and uses the phrase "wonder woman" at least once an hour, have you seen him?"<BR/><BR/>Seriously, I was appalled, first because the owners continued to maintain that it was a "serious gym" that just decided to serve alcohol (like weight lifting and drinking now go together) - why not say that some patrons were having sex. The second was the complete over the top reaction of the police. Why is a single officer handing out a ticket or threatening to close the bar sufficent? Is there some aspect of gay men who might be drinking that requires massive armed response?Elizabeth McClunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03627373214555333537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16010478.post-1152770142684561442006-07-12T22:55:00.000-07:002006-07-12T22:55:00.000-07:00just be glad you're not governed under the same sy...<I>just be glad you're not governed under the same system as canada. you could be stuck with that putz for a very long time were that the case.</I><BR/><BR/>True, DykeWife.
