Six men accused of having sex
in the "video-viewing" backrooms of a
porn shop are the reluctant crusaders to
reform sex laws in Missouri, one of
only four states that still bans gay
sex. Missouri would just as soon
they went away. One of the accused says
the prosecutors told him, "Look, if you
cooperate, it will go away. ... If you don't
cooperate, we're going to parade you and
your family and everybody through the
media and make your life a living hell."
They're ready for hell, writes Bruce
Rushton in the Riverfront Times.
