by a jury of my peers in Virginia? (Not that I'm going there anytime soon).

I've always thought that if I were to be arrested for anything I'd want a jury of all gay men as my real peers. And I'd hope to have good grounds for appeal if they weren't.

white men as his peers? I think we tried that before and it wasn't quite so fair.
