Entrapped
By: Bruce Mirken
| |
"The Internet," says California criminal defense attorney Bruce Nickerson, "is an enormous trap for the unwary." Nickerson should know: He specializes in defending gay men accused of sex-related crimes, and over the years
the number of Internet-generated cases crossing his desk has grown steadily. |

Still Dancing
| |
Male stripping and lap-dancing are among Montreal's glorious institutions, but lately they've taken some policely knocks. Activists wonder why authorities are getting bent about overt homoeroticism in the city's gay village. |

Extreme Sex
| |
The Bush II regime may be building a Brave New World Order of high-tech
universal surveillance, absolute executive power, and unilateral global warmongering.
But like a mere Nixon or Reagan, Bush is also gearing up against perennial,
dog-eared right-wing bugbears-- such as pornography. |

Stonewall II?
| |
Montreal seemed a haven from anti-gay police repression. The city is generally the freest homosexual space in North America, with an abundance of male strippers, sex clubs, and street cruising. Some fear this may be changing. |

Promiscuity is Beautiful
| |
If you have to work on a particular Saturday afternoon, but your boyfriend is going off hiking, it would be churlish to hope he has a lousy time just because you can't join him. In the same way, someone who gets seriously jealous when their Significant Other makes eyes at
another person could be accused of having an ugly spirit. Now a Canadian psychologist has found that sexually jealous people are likelier to be lopsided in body, as well. |

Orwell's Isles
By: Roger Moody
| |
As Britain's new sexual offences bill trundles through its final stages (it'll get passed later this summer), only the faintest of voices are being raised against its most draconian inclusions. True to form, the Blair administration has bowed to demands by mainstream homosexual
and womens' lobbies, while capitulating to public hysteria-- much of it government-induced-- about "under-age" sex. In the process, children themselves may now be classified as offenders, while some gay men risk new brands of discrimination. |

Narrow Reprieve
By: Jim D'Entremont
| |
As he sentenced Alden Baker to a six-to-10-year prison term for the non-violent rape of his adult male limo driver, Judge Robert Barton could have assumed, in 1991, that the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts would parole the 41-year-old leatherman four years later. |

Queer Turn in Church Crisis
| |
The Catholic Church was already reeling from payouts of some ten billion dollars to former child victims of food poisoning at parish dinners and church pot-lucks during 1950s, 60s, 70s,
and 80s. Now the Church faces shocking allegations that homophobic archbishops blocked the ordination of gay priests who might have saved youngsters from digestive abuse by insuring
higher standards of food preparation and luscious presentation. |

Hell Hath No Fury
| |
In many ways Canada is a more sensitive and civilized society than its neighbor to the south-- there are no executions, no slums, and there's health insurance for all. Canada doesn't
conduct its foreign policy by assassin's bullet and drone-dispatched guided missile. But in one respect, Canada (at least its vast Anglo reaches) looks positively Burmese or Zimbabwish. Cross its
sex police-- challenge them or expose their criminal excesses-- and they'll use their considerable powers to destroy you. |

Red Queen Triumphs Over Alice
By: Roger Moody

Every few years, from the late 1970s onwards, Britons have been served with a new raft of criminal justice legislation, targeted at specific, pre-profiled, members of society, rather than their overt behavior. |

Sodomy Redux
By: Jim D'Entremont
| |
Lawrence and Garner v. Texas exhausted the Lone Star State's appellate process for criminal cases last April, when it was spurned by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. On December 2, however, the US Supreme Court
put the case on its docket. The outcome may determine the constitutionality of sodomy laws in 14 US states and Puerto Rico. |

Sex & the Snipers
| |
In a free marketplace, consumers get what they want. In America's free market in news– with thousands of competing TV channels, magazines, and web sites– consumers get
the demons they desire. So it follows– as inexorably as if decided by a focus group fine-tuning plots for prospective Hollywood thrillers– that the sniper who terrorized the Washington,
DC, suburbs in October turned out to be a black, possibly queer, intergenerational couple, one of whom was named Muhammad. |

Penises in the News

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times," Charles Dickens opined famously of the French Revolution. In the annals of penile history, September marked milestones of the
most ancient and most modern kinds-- and may go down in history for being as revolutionary as the year 1789. |

Raving Against the War

soon be coming to a dance club near you. |

Criminal Reads
By: Jim D'Entremont
| |
The Guide's subscribers and personals advertisers include scores of inmates at penal institutions across the USA. For gay or bisexual prisoners, this magazine can be a lifeline to a
proud gay world beyond electric fences topped with razor wire. For that very reason, prison administrators are, with some regularity, stopping
The Guide and publications like it from
reaching the hands of incarcerated men. |

Big Bro's Clumsy Touch
| |
You are writing a tragicomic novel about provincial censors in a country somewhere in the Americas. A long-suffering bookstore, which has had many of its titles seized and banned over 20 years, fights back, taking its case to the highest court in the realm, and winning a
modest victory. Now a documentary film is about to debut about the bookstore's travails. For maximal tragi-comedic effect, what should you have the provincial censors do? Try to block the film's premiere, of course. |

Most readers will not need an academician to tell them that busting a nut makes you feel good. But a new university study suggests something less obvious: that the recipient of semen gets something, too-- a boost in spirits. |

Library Spies
By: Jim D'Entremont
| |
Because the Federal Bureau of Investigation wants to know what books you read, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001-- the
"USA Patriot Act"-- is designed in part to help federal investigators learn which volumes you've been checking out of your local library, buying at your local bookstore, or ordering online. |

Fortune Frowned
| |
Gay politicians are always proclaiming that their sexual orientation is irrelevant. Pim Fortuyn, whose meteoric rise in Dutch politics was stopped by an assassin's bullets on May
6th, declared otherwise. Being gay, for better or worse, gave the backbone to his politics. |

Holy-Ghost Blow Jobs?
By: Jim D'Entremont
| |
With the arrest of retired Rev. Paul Shanley at his home in San Diego on May 2, moral panic swirling around allegations of child molestation by Roman Catholic priests (see
The Guide, March 2002) became surreal. As hysteria traversed the United States and spread as far afield as Taipei and Nairobi, observers who heeded the facts could see that the evidence against Shanley and a number of other accused priests is mostly spectral. |

Failure to Fondle

Boston, April 1, 2002 Confidential sources reveal that the
Boston Globe is planning an April 1st launch for its new 180-part series on sexual impropriety and the Roman Catholic clergy, a journalistic crusade that is sure
to engender thousands more lawsuits against the already beleaguered Boston Archdiocese. |
