Deputies Bust Gays with Unconstitutional Sodomy Law: Don't Cops Have Better Things to Do?!

Views: 814
Baton Rouge, Louisiana suffers from the eighth highest murder rate in the nation, and yet local law enforcement apparently considers it a top priority to conduct sting operations on gay men seeking consensual sex.

According to an investigation by The Advocate, deputies have been going undercover and busting gay men using an anti-sodomy law the Supreme Court had declared unconstitutional ten years ago. (Sheriff Sid Gautreaux says he hadn't heard about the Supreme Court decision.)

Meanwhile, the local murder rate has jumped 40 percent over the past decade.

Just over two minutes.
