  • That's just BS. How many people do you know in gay bars would grope a cop in uniform raiding the bar?

    Whatever...

  • Ok you obviously didn't read any of the posts before you wrote. Let me explain, people were in a bar and arrested because they were drunk. Where is the justice? Please tell me. Is not a bar a place to get drunk? And if not please explain the assholes who are passing out breeder bars and why they are not getting arrested.

  • @farmer6987 Cuz they belong where they choose to belong, like everybody else. Many of these people grew up in cowtown and no hick is going to tell them they aren't good enough to stay.

    Who's to blame here is obvious. Three TABC officers were fired for the unprofessional treatment of Rainbow Lounge attendants, and several FWPD police officers received unpaid leave suspensions. Sorry farmer6987, but the gays didn't do anything wrong!

  • "it was like a gay bar in texas" .....okay, NOW i get it.

  • why dont they move to key west where they belong

  • Hey! This video has a clip of our HERO Joel Burns in it. !!

  • I lived in Fort Worth for 15 years, THEY SUCK BIG HAIRY BALLS. They are the reason I left there. They taunt you and harrass you, pull you over for no reason AT ALL. They make you miserable. I finally decided to quit driving there and was walking to a convenience store a half block away from my apartment to get a coke and they rolled on me like I was swat and arrested me for not having my ID on me.

  • That is nuts raiding a private business even if it is a gay owned business.

  • Thank you for posting this last year. It's been quite a year in Fort Worth since the raid, However, from the tragedy came ground breaking change. I thought I would share with you the teaser trailer for the upcoming documentary, "Raid of the Rainbow Lounge".

    Check it out here on You Tube.

    It follows the aftermath of the raid, that was the good, the bad, the ugly and the controversial.

  • Whenever the police or TABC enter a gay bar it should be considered an attack on the gay community. We have enough history with these public institutions to consider them hostile. The lights should go up and the music should stop and the video (w/audio) cameras turned on.

  • The cops are lying to try to cover their asses. I can't imagine any gay person being dumb enough to grope a *uniformed* cop while he's on duty and performing arrests, no less.
