I feel sadden by this because it happened in my own neighborhood. The Eagle, popular gay leather bar mentioned in the article, is one of the many hot spots for the gay community in Atlanta. I have never gone to the Eagle, but i do frequent other gay bars around the city. Just thinking that crap like this can still happen is a bit of a wake up call for many of us around the city.

Today, many members of the community came together to protest the unjust treatment enacted by the police. Over 300 people showed up. Sadly i could not attend because i had to work, but i'm glad many others showed up.

You don't love someone because they are beautiful, they are beautiful because you love them.

There are no age checks on this forum. If the law says you need (eg) parental consent to post here then you need that consent.
Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
