    Well I'm not sure why this is bad. Yes it sucks about the banning, but they had every right to be arrested. It's no different than ANYONE refusing to leave a government office. So I'm not necessarily sure why it's news side from the arrestee being a lesbian.

    Missing the point a bit there. It's more coverage of the protest and the discrimination in the law than deriding the police for punishing solicitation too harshly.

    This was an act of civil disobedience. The whole point was to get arrested. Given that, it's not exactly surprising that she was.
