Arizona couple gets judge to gag gay SF blogger

An Arizona judge has issued an order banning David Nahmod, a San Francisco-based gay freelance writer and blogger, from posting the names of a "conservative" Arizona couple he claims "brainwashed" his ex-boyfriend into disliking him. Last month, the couple served Nahmod with a restraining order, and the judgment bars Nahmod from doing "anything that encourages others to harass" the couple, including posting information about them on the Internet.
