The Larry Craig Phenomenon Again - This Time in Indiana - Arthur S. Leonard in the Leonard Link,
There has reportedly been a renewed spate of undercover police arrests of men cruising restrooms and parks since the Larry Craig story hit the news. This is, of course, an old story, a cat-and-mouse game played between law enforcement and men - many closeted, some relatively openly gay - going back many decades. And every now and then an appellate decision surfaces showing how the game may be played. The latest I’ve seen is from the Indiana Court of Appeals, Isom v. State of Indiana, 2007 WL 3287515, an unofficially published decision available on Westlaw that is dated November 8, 2007.

Iraq Struggles to Stop Persecution of Gays - by Deb Price in The Detroit News, April 16, 2007
Militias warn Iraqi families they will be murdered if they don't hand over or kill their gay relatives.
An Iraqi family pays ransom for the return of a gay man, only to learn later that his mutilated body has been found.
An Iraqi father is released without being tried for hanging his gay son to defend the family's "honor."
Secretive religious "courts" try, sentence and execute gays.
