Gay man and lesbian co-parent child together...

[brainfart]

Here's a weird story out of San Francisco. To make some sort of point
regarding gay marriage and adoption of children by gay couples, a gay
man and a lesbian woman have chosen to "co-parent" a baby together,
conceiving it in the normal manner except that the couple is not
sexually attracted to each other at all. Both have announced that
they are simply friends and will continue to see other people outside
this relationship. Then some radio show host criticized the idea,
accusing them of using the baby as some sort of political prop, and
was immediately crucified as homophobic and intolerant.

EL CERRITO, Calif. - A man was arrested on suspicion of carrying a concealed weapon after
police found him outdoors - naked - and he told them he had a tool in his rectum, authorities
said.

The man was lying on a tree stump, masturbating beside a nature path, near a Bay Area Rapid
Transit station Thursday, police said.

John Sheehan, 33, of Pittsburg, was initially arrested on suspicion of indecent exposure. But
when asked whether he was carrying anything police should know about, Sheehan mentioned the
tool, said El Cerrito Detective Cpl. Don Horgan.

"You can't get much more concealed than that," Horgan said.

Officers drew their weapons and firefighters were called to the scene. Sheehan removed a 6-inch
metal awl wrapped in black electrical tape without incident.

Sheehan, who was paroled from state prison last week, was then booked into jail on suspicion of
parole violations, indecent exposure and one felony count of possessing a concealed weapon.

"When you're talking about an awl or an ice pick and you're dealing with somebody who's fresh
out of prison, it's a weapon. That's a stabbing instrument," Horgan said.

It was not immediately clear what Sheehan was on parole for. A person answering the phone at
the jail Friday night did not know whether Sheehan had a lawyer.
