Man Sues Alt-Weekly for Running Ladies' Night Adsnew
Steve Horner has been agressively suing bars and clubs that offer women free admission or special drink deals for discrimination since the early '90s. Now he's apparently moving on to more substantial targets. "I've put my money to frying bigger fish," he tells Denver's Westword. He's filed a complaint against the alt-weekly for publishing "at least 30 discriminatory ads" featuring the dreaded ladies' night over a five month period, and is asking for $15,000 in damages (roughly $500 per ad).

Weekly Dig Story Forces Resignation of Boston Pride Officialnew
Yesterday, the Dig revealed that Boston Pride Committee fundraising chair Bill Berggren has a criminal record and is a convicted sex offender. Later in the day, Berggren stepped down from the committee. "My resignation comes in the wake of a malicious attempt to bring my personal life into the public sphere," Berggren writes in his resignation letter. "This has precipitated a hasty judgment from some members of the community, and I anticipate the enemies of Pride will seize this opportunity to attack the organization. In order to protect Boston Pride from unnecessary attacks two weeks before Pride Week, I am quickly stepping aside."

Alt-Weekly Reporter Wrongly ID'd as Telephone Harrassernew
In a bizarre case of technological misinformation, last week a blog reported that Dallas Observer reporter Matt Pulle was identified in a sheriff's report as a suspected telephone harrasser. A source for the reporter's work on the embattled Constable Mike Dupree had mistakenly given Pulle's number to the authorities after receiving harrassing phone messages. When confronted with Pulle's phone records, though, the blogger amended his post. In an attempt to get Pulle's name out of the sheriff's report, a Village Voice Media attorney wrote the sheriff's office, and they are reopening the case to find out who may have actually made the calls.
