In this week's issue (print edition, News, p.22) Patty Ruland interviews the attorneys of a man accused of making a pass – a gay pass – at a 16-year old, for which he is now being threatened with felony imprisonment.

Attorney Leonard Martinez told the Chronicle he believes that prosecution of the accused is derived from "apparently anti-gay sentiment."

Martinez has placed a motion to "quash the indictment" before Williamson County District Court Judge Billy Ray Stubblefield. If the motion fails, the case goes to court Mon., Sept. 6.
