Gay man comes out to deny charge of moorland camper van sex assault
This was an interesting article in which a group of guys in a camper van got drunk and had sex. The next AM, the 23 year old woke up to realize he had gay sex and started hitting the guy he was with. The older man told police on several occasion he was straight, but, alas, he was not. Not an easy way to come out.

Today in Gay History:
November 27, 1978 - Conservative Dan White, after discovering that he would not be re-appointed to his seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, took a gun and extra ammunition and goes to City Hall. He entered through a lower level window to avoid the metal detectors and went to the office of Mayor George Moscone, who was supportive of the gay community, and fired four shots, two to the head. Those who heard the gunshots did not realize what they were hearing, giving him time to reload his gun and go to the office of Supervisor Harvey Milk (the first openly gay man to be elected in a major American city) and fire five shots. Both men were pronounced dead. Dan White would later be convicted of manslaughter and serve only about five years.
