"For two months, Orange County's gay community turned out in force to the Lucky Strike bowling alley for Spin Tuesdays, a nightclub-style event with DJs spinning pop, dance and '80s music, and a velvet-rope entrance for as many as 1,000 bowlers, pool players and dancers.

The week before last, the gathering at The Block at Orange was shut down after police told Lucky Strike's management they could be ticketed or arrested for allowing dancing, live entertainment and outside promotions without a permit.

But the event's organizers tell a different story. They were targeted by police, they say, because it was a gay event."
