A San Francisco gay rights group held a news conference Wednesday at City Hall to address the recently dropped charges against its members that alleged they tried to attack Supervisor Gavin Newsom.

Six members of Gay Shame were arrested during Sunday's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride parade, when they approached Newsom in an allegedly threatening manner.

This was buried inside in the Bay Area NewsRoundup section!

They'll stop at NOTHING to hide the gay agenda!

[I_Love_My_Husband]

They've DROPPED the charges against gays who threatened our Supervisor because they're gay and it's politically incorrect!

No joke. Back in high school my friend got arrested for getting into a fight some lesbians.

Police spokesman Dewayne Tully said three of the six demonstrators were holding 3- to 5-foot-long copper, wood or bamboo pipes or poles in a "striking position.''

Their defense is that these poles were sexual aids.

Didn't you predict that this would happen?

You misunderstand - that was merely a romantic sign of affection.

Jesse Sanford, 25, said Gay Shame was at Sunday's parade to denounce Newsom because they feel his politics are divisive and that he doesn't truly support the gay community.

And guys like you, Jesse, are inclusive?

At least they named the group correctly. They really OUGHT to be ashamed.

actually the turd burglars got what they wanted...a couple rounds of "drop the soap" in the local pokey's shower room. they weren't making a political statement, they just wanted a date.

Fazio, Fazio!

Hate crime?

"District Attorney spokesman Mark McNamara said Wednesday that the felony charges of threatening a public official, conspiracy to threaten a public official, and conspiracy to commit a crime were dismissed pending a formal investigation."

Yep, that's Frisco alright. Drop charges before the investigation.

The city gov has no right to complain when demonstators trash the town and chew up tax dollars.

"the group had absolutely no intention of harming anybody"

That's not relevant! The groups' intention doesn't even matter. What matters is what did the Supervisor PERCEIVE the threat to be ...??

They approached Newsom in an allegedly threatening manner.

With copper pipes. Newsom is running for mayor and is more of a conservative.
