Rather an irreputable gay club to let those two unattractive fellows in the door.

Those thick necks screamed "football player" before I even read the story.

I am shocked to find that underage college students are illegally drinking.

There is no time at which UVA students are NOT drinking.

come on dan this is progress.

was abraham lincoln racist? Absolutely, by todays standards. But he was forward thinking for his time.

When i saw that mugshot i thought "Okay, which gay teenager is dead now?"

they stole beer? That makes them fucking heroes by todays standards. These guys are like the great emancipators of not beating the shit out of gays.

Barker kinda looks like Pugsly Adams after falling down and bumping his head.

I 'borrowed' a lot of beers when i was in college.

Maybe these guys are gay too? Maybe they went there because gay guys have lots of female friends, and they'd like to meet them.

This story doesnt seem that weird - what am i missing?

Maybe I've lost my sense of humor.

It's just... you don't out people unless they're being the worst of violent, hypocritical assholes. And even then, you have to think twice.

Dan -

When you attempt to publicly humiliate anyone - gay or straight - for simply being in a "gay" bar, you are part of the problem.

Plus, it seems pretty clear from the comments on Towleroad (or however you spell that) that straight people frequent the bar in question. This is not news, and you're not making a valid point.

I think they make a stunning couple, and perhaps they will get to know each other better in jail... I'll be happy to print the wedding announcements.

You know how the Japanese started raising watermelons in plastic boxes so they'd turn out rectangular?

Er, I think the parents of these boys did that with their noggins.
