In another overt example of homophobic law enforcement, Allegheny County police are “stepping up patrols” around a South Park bathroom suspected of being the location of many a gay tryst.
The Post-Gazette report hits the classic homophobic note — the site's proximity to a children's playground. Because you cannot report on gay sex without making at least one subtle allusion to children.
Now I understand that having sex in public places is illegal. But when is the last time you read a story about cracking down on heterosexual public sex? I guarantee you that there are more incidencts of breeders having public sexual relations than homos. And I guarantee you that most gay men are not having sex in public restrooms. But those who do are not guilty of a greater crime than the majority of high school students parked at South Park.
When I was in high school, we rode the activity bus and had to walk through the parking lot of Sam's Club to get home. Every day for the entire track season in my junior year (1987), a car was parked in that lot containing an adult man and woman having sex. We walked right past it every day and they never batted an eye. They were having sex within eyeshot of the middle school and a half a block from a preschool. Where was the umbrage? Who protected me?
Let's be honest — this is not a crackdown on public lewdness. This is a crackdown on the crime of being gay.

UGH — having sex in a place that smells, at best, like urine and poo? UGH!
This certainly has something to do with someone seeing someone else's exposed large winkie causing the devil's favorite sin of LUST and penis envy to surface — almost identical to what happens to all those preachers and priests when someone is kneeling in front of them with an evil tempting open mouth at crotch level.
I think that we should conduct independent statistics of this activity. I'd be willing to bet that many of those in this disgusting scenario are “straight” boys hiding behind the bible, a marriage, their robes, or — gasp– a public official.
