In Palm Springs, the case against 15 men arrested as a part of public gay sex sting continues, the Desert Sun reporting that the police decoys used in the 2009 Warm Sands incident say they did not entice those arrested to expose themselves, Palm Springs officer Chad Nordman testifying that “I pretty much just stood there. People would walk up to us.” He conceded he said “show me what you’ve got” to those arrested, but says the comment came only after they approached him first. Defence attorney Roger Tansey, however, said that video-taped footage of the arrests, which has yet to be made public, completely contradicts the decoy’s testimony. Tansey says that even if the decoys were coy, another police officer, Sergeant Matt Beard, testified he simulated a sex act by himself behind a pool filter while providing undercover protection for the decoys, Beard saying he was not instructed to, but aimed to mimic “what was going on around me” in order to “dispel any suspicion that I was an uncover officer.” Tansey says that the police targeted gay men while disregarding straight sex in public, so the case should be dismissed. Beard and other Palm Springs officers say they have encountered both gay and straight couple having sex in cars in public, but have never made any arrests, and added that they have encountered men having sex in public in Warm Springs prior to the sting, but never made any arrests, only issued warnings.
At the end of a profile in the newest edition of GQ magazine, and the conclusion of a conversation on sexual identity, Ted Haggard tells Kevin Rouse “’I think that probably, if I were 21 in this society, I would identify myself as bisexual.’ After a weekend of Ted trying to convince me of his unambiguous devotion to his wife and kids, I’m at first too surprised to say anything. ‘So why not now?’ I ask finally. ‘Because, Kevin, I’m 54, with children, with a belief system, and I can have enforced boundaries in my life. Just like you’re a heterosexual but you don’t have sex with every woman that you’re attracted to, so I can be who I am and exclusively have sex with my wife and be perfectly satisfied.’ ‘But what does it have to do with be 54?’ ‘Life! he says. ‘We have an ordinary life.’”
Sir Elton John and partner David Furnish grace the cover of Us magazine, with their newborn son Zachary, but apparently Arkansas residents would prefer not to have to see such perversion as they check out of their local Harps grocery store, the chain covering the purported offensive periodical with a “family shield to protect young Harps shoppers.” Thankfully, one Jennifer Hudd took to Twitter and tweeted both the American Civil Liberties Union and Anderson Cooper earlier Wednesday writing “This was taken at my local grocery store. I was shocked. Can you help bring attention to this?”
