Just what the gay world needs

The one thing they don't say is if the teens are gay. Let's hope they aren't.

Prostitution

 

 

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Five boys are accused of dressing as female prostitutes and robbing unsuspecting customers, police said Friday.

 

Dressed as women, the five approached men seeking prostitutes in Manhattan's West Village, a popular spot for the illicit sex trade. They then posed as undercover police as they stripped their victims of their wallets, credit cards, bank cards and cash, police said.

 

The youths, all aged 17 except for one 16-year-old, are charged with robbery and criminal impersonation of a police officer and will be charged as adults, police said.

 

Wearing wigs, earrings and makeup, the youths robbed five men, flashing phony police badges and handcuffing their victims, police said.

 

"You couldn't put this in a book. Nobody would believe it," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a weekly radio appearance.

 

The teens are suspected of committing other robberies as well, and police are asking other possible victims to come forward.

 

The youths were arrested Thursday by plainclothes police who recognized one of them from the victims' descriptions.

Where is this "gay world" of which you often speak, Dick? If the rent's cheaper there, I just might move. :+

The reason there's homophobia in the world is not because we are out there impersonating cops and stealing; it has to do with our "unnatural lifestyle." So don't worry; if these teens are gay, I don't think it will affect the rest of us. Well, it might, however, affect those of us that want to impersonate cops and steal.

The article I read said these kids were students at the Harvey Milk High School.

It is in care of Never Never Land Ranch.

 

My point was that we have enough homophobia as it is. Why give more reason?
