"Gay men arrested during a sex sting in Palm Springs are being charged under a California law that could force them to register as sex offenders for the rest of their lives. The 24 men were arrested last summer in a gay neighborhood by two undercover police officers. The victims say the cops were the aggressors," reports Gopride.com. "While Palm Springs' population is estimated to be at least 30 percent gay, there is not a single openly gay man on the police force. Gay leaders in Palm Springs are also angry about an audio tape from inside one of the police cars, on which one officer can be heard using a gay slur while the other cop laughs."
