Polich v. Nahmod, No. CC2008-149566 (Ariz. Just. Ct., North Valley filed July 11, 2008).

Status: Preliminary injunction issued (Sept. 26, 2008).

Blogger David Nahmod has written extensively on his David's Open Forum blog (davidsopenforum.blogspot.com) and other sites (including Lavender Newswire) on the demise of his five-year relationship with Beecher Goodwin, which he claims was sabotaged by Kathryn Rock, who Nahmod alleges took advantage of Goodwin’s manic depression to urge Goodwin to stop being a homosexual as part of her conservative, religious agenda. The court granted a restraining order against Nahmod to stop what Rock and her husband Stephen Polich alleged was harassment by him, and upheld the order at a Sept. 25 hearing.
