You are right this story is not Janesville News. In fact there never is any news in Janesville. That is why a hay fire made front page news!

Just a note on the gay/lesbian comment. It's unfair to label people that participate in sex acts in public as gay/lesbian. It's not about being gay, its about social deviance. People that break the law should be held accountable for their actions. There are plenty of gay people in Wisconsin and I'm sure Arizona that are law abiding citizens.

"Arizona should close all of the sex shops there," How ignorant is that. I suppose you want to start banning books at the library next.

Who cares?! He left 15 years ago. This is Arizona news, not Janesville news. I didn't know the Gazette was a gossip column.

People that do things like that in public are asking to be caught.
