In reading the article it appears that they raided several bars and the Eagle was the only gay one. I think it is a matter of unfortunate timing. Also, if you are going to bust people with drugs, it is going to be on a Pride weekend. I don't want people with drugs in gay bars, so I am fine with that. People who have nothing to hide aren't offended.
If we gays want equal rights, it cuts both ways. The straight bars were as equally inconvenienced and lost money too. Lets not get myopic or paranoid.
