• CHICAGO BRAWL This is not the set up for a joke: “Two Lake View neighborhood women ended a night of drinking and revelry at a Halsted Street gay bar [Roscoe’s] by getting arrested for battery and disorderly conduct after allegedly kicking a bartender, slapping a bouncer, dragging a man into the women’s restroom and interfering repeatedly with police.” And then there are charges of rape. [CBS2/STNG Wire]
• CONNECTICUT It’s done. The State Assembly voted to update Connecticut’s marriage laws to conform with the State Supreme Court’s ruling that civil unions aren’t good enough for same-sex couples. The bill will hit Gov. Jodi Rell’s desk; she says she’ll sign it. [AP]
• ON CAMPUS The pastors running Cornell University’s Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship demanded student Chris Donohoe step down from a leadership committee, which helps lead Bible studies, after coming out (and “accepting” his sexuality) and finding a boyfriend. That Chi Alpha receives university funds (paid out of student tuition) complicates things, since organizations are barred from discriminating against sexual orientation. [Cornell Sun]
• GOD’S CHILDREN Supposedly representing the will of God, some leaders of the Episcopal Church have been exposed plotting to “compel the church’s moderate bishops to join with conservatives in opposing the ordination of open gays.” [Washington Blade]

Regarding the CHICAGO BRAWL, I hope this stupid bitch gets charged for making false statements in regards to the rape accusation. She’s just a sloppy drunk trying to get back at the bouncer for throwing her out of the bar. The seriousness of her lie should land her in jail!

LOL!
She took a man into the washroom? She was either tootin’ something or having sex. At Roscoe’s? WTF!
Jayson
Maybe she was kicked off the dart team and went nuts.

This is exactly why these SLOPPY DRUNK CUNTS should not be let into gay bars. They thinks it’s an excuse to act however they want. I’ve been in the bar business for years an 98% of the fights and other trouble is caused buy stupid drunk fag hags. These twats should be shot.

@Jaime:
What Jaime said.
Years ago some drunk heifer got pissed because I wouldn’t buy her and her friend a drink and scratched my face up. I still have a scar on my neck. I never reported it because I was underage in a gay bar, so I never got to see justice done.

@John Santos:
See what happens is these CUNTS come into gay bars with their gay guy friends, get a little tipsy, and forget to check their hetero privilege shit at the door.

Heterosexuals are troublemakers.

I hope they kicked, slapped and punched Sara & Brenden. They deserve everything horrible that’s coming to them.
