Summary	The Village Voice looks at how sexual orientation can - and often does - sway a jury's verdict. "No one knows how often gayness is raised by prosecutors as a snide implication, an unfounded assertion, or a fact that may or may not be relevant to the case. But it comes up with such frequency and in such predictable ways that the allegations of antigay bias cannot be dismissed."
