re: #73 SixDegrees

Someone on an earlier thread pointed out that this isn’t a “gay bar.” Gays go there; apparently, so do lots of other people.

So what we know is that this guy left the bar with another guy. There’s nothing in the article that leads to a conclusion that either or both of them are gay.

Back when I was single, I used to go to bars with other men all the time. And, unfortunately, we often left together, as well, even though the whole point was to score. With women.

The DUI is certainly inexcusable, if it stands. But I think, once again, we’re seeing a rush to judgment on other issues, and a willingness to convict without benefit of actual evidence, that is disturbingly common and frequent. Even the DUI, at this point, is a charge - he hasn’t been convicted, he’s presumed innocent, and like everyone else he’s allowed his day in court.

There’ll be plenty of time to demonize and villify once actual facts are known and allegations proven. The lynch mob mentality on display here by some is extremely offputting.

Agreed. If he’s cheating on someone, that’s his own affair. If he’s single and dating, which gender may make me snicker, based on his legislative record, but not my business.

Driving drunk on California roads, however, is NOT OK.
