Last night at 11:30 p.m. The Eagle was raided in an apparent sting operation. Among the arrests were male dancers and staff, one of them a personal friend. There is obvious outrage in the gay community as the circumstances of the operation are unclear. We need to know the facts of this case. I will be reaching out to the GLBT Liasion Unit to try and find just that.

As a gay Atlantan I share in my community's concern. I will be joining them tomorrow, Saturday September 12th, to join together in asking for those answers.
