A couple of gays seemed to have been up to some kinky shit over the holiday weekend in Raleigh, North Carolina, but when one of them failed to respect the other's boundaries, the police were called. There was some talk of one man threatening the other with
"disembowelment," which is definitely the sort of thing that would make
us scream our safe word, too. Instead of arresting only the alleged assaulter, police arrested both men for "crimes against nature," a statute that remains on the books in this southern state despite the Supreme Court's Lawrence v. Texas ruling which would render it unconstitutional.
"This looks like a case of a consensual act that may have gotten out of
hand," says Raleigh police Capt. T.D. Hardy. "The
law is still on the books. Our detectives got involved in it last night
and decided this was the best thing to do. What the D.A.'s office will
do with it, I don't know."
The D.A.'s office is probably going to try to step away from this as fast they fucking can, because we think we can hear the ACLU starting up their vans right now.
