Yep, It’s Normal… Public “Gay” Sex Forces Aussie Store to Close Bathrooms

This is the lifestyle that is being promoted as “normal.” Is this what you call normal?

Lest you laugh this off as ridiculous, this is not a phenomenon unique to far away lands. Twenty-plus years ago, a department store in Southern Indiana resorted to removing the doors from the stalls in the men’s bathroom because of this behavior. And a homosexual “cruising” website lists similar locations across the world where men can meet for anonymous public sex.

Parents, please think twice about letting your young boys go to the men’s room alone.

Excerpted from Gay Sex Forces Closure of Store Toilets, by Jamie Padaram, published Oct 30, 2006, by The Sydney Morning Herald:

The closure of customer toilets in a Myer store due to rampant homosexual activity has exposed a massive list of venues being used by members of a gay website as hook-up points.

Among the places listed as meeting spots for men “cruising for sex”, on squirt.org, is the Royal Australian Air Force’s Richmond base and Sydney Opera House’s toilets.

Management at Myer’s Sydney city store in Pitt Street were forced to close its level one toilet to the public because homosexuals were using the facility as a meeting point, often having sex in full view of other horrified users.

…The website claims to list more than 15,000 locations around Australia “where gay and bisexual guys meet for sex”… A search of the site yielded hundreds of well-known Sydney buildings, parks and beaches.

…A Myer staff member who spoke to smh.com.au said she had seen men running out of the toilet alerting employees about homosexual activity, while others had complained about being propositioned.“I wouldn’t let my friend’s young son go in there, no way. I was really worried about his safety,” she said. “There were men going in and out all the time. You’d see them come out, and say ‘Woops, I forgot my mobile or wallet’, and then go back in. I’d see men sitting on the chair near the toilet just waiting.

…Other prominent places used by subscribers of the website include the toilets of Westfield stores and Marrickville Metro, the library at the University of NSW, various Fitness First gyms, and Bankstown Airport’s rest area.

…Another is the Crows Nest Community Centre, which it seems is extremely popular, with 100 comments posted from the website’s users regarding the site.
