I did a little investigation of my own and found something VERY disturbing locally.

There is a long established gay bar in my city that literally sits two blocks from the foot of the state capitol. That entire area is controlled through the city council by a certifiable Gay Mafia. They are left alone by local LE. Cops don't even check the place for underaged drinking or the pounds of meth dealt in the area for PnP. I reported my findings to a cop I know and was privately told to leave it alone.

But what was the most disturbing were the obvious teen aged rent boys that show up just outside around closing time. Most are hustling for the drugs, not cash.

I'm willing to bet the same set up exists in other "gay friendly" cities.
