A local story representative of national problems. Forty years to the day after the Stonewall riots, it appears local law enforcement is still targeting gays and gay establishments in and outside major urban centers in this country. Wish we could hear more from the police, but it seems they're biding their time and only offering a worthless written statement.

Overbroad application of public intoxication to target gays -- a dangerous, oppressive maneuver that communities and elected officials need to check vigorously.
