U.K. Homosexualist Group: Public Sex is an Important Part of Gay Community
By Patrick B. Craine
MANCHESTER, England, November 9, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - OutRage!, a militant U.K. homosexual 'rights' group, is insisting that homosexual sex in public places, a practice known as 'cruising,' should be tolerated by police. According to PinkNews.com, a U.K. homosexual news source, the group has said that cruising is "an important part of the gay community and cannot be ignored," in the words of the reporter.
The canal area in Manchester has long been a popular spot for cruising, but PinkNews reports that the area has been built up, resulting in more complaints from local people. In response, the Manchester police have begun patrolling the area more diligently, and potential 'cruisers' are being warned that they could face arrest.
OutRage! is calling for a "sensible, long-term and fair approach" to the issue, recommending tolerated 'cruising areas.'
"The area that we're talking about, cruising is tolerated unofficially," OutRage! member David Henry told PinkNews. "But there is quite a lot of anger in the gay community about how it's being handled."
He claims that homosexuals have been "victimised and singled out," attributing police actions to "homophobia."
"We'd like other agencies such as the police and council to get behind this concept [of tolerated gay cruising areas]," he said. "There are other places, such as Brighton and Blackpool, possibly also Liverpool, where this is in place."
Henry admitted that 'cruising areas' are more inviting to married men and others who are not openly homosexual, but said this is not the case "as much as it used to be in the past."
Public homosexual sex is a routine practice in the U.K., with homosexuals meeting in a variety of places, such as bus stations or airports. While OutRage! maintains that the law does not specifically condemn public sex, such acts are, in fact, covered by public decency laws.
Nevertheless, U.K. police have often not enforced the law, yielding to pressure from homosexualists. In fact, a draft of guidelines for U.K. police proposed last year stated specifically that police should not impede public homosexual activity, complaining that such interventions had alienated homosexuals, and advocating respect for the "human rights of those people who frequent open spaces."

Seems to me that one militant rights group is as representative of homosexuals overall as kiddy-fucking-priests are representative of the Catholic church.
You must be right on board with characterizing all priests as kiddy-fuckers, correct?

I have long been opposed to writing in reply to you, as you are a well known evil troll.
However the lies you sprout need to be addressed, Cruising is not about having sex in public places it is trying to meet others of as similar mind.
Do get your facts straight before spreading your lies.
Yes, Gays do on occasion have sex in public places but there again so do heterosexual.
Ever heard of 'Lovers Lanes' ???
What do you think happens there, drinking tea and eating cucumber sandwiches?..................

Do they?
Exhibitionism is a real turn-on for some people, including straights. I suppose if you practice something off the beaten path long enough, you begin to develop the attitude that it should be considered an accepted behavior.
Most people (including gays) do not practice exhibitionism. You, however, seem to harbour a different perversion - voyeurism. If you and yours would only keep your nose out of other people's bedrooms, there wouldn't be a problem.

I do not propose to call it anything, where did I say I approve of public sex?
"Following reports of a police crackdown on cruising in the city's canal area, OutRage! say there should be a "sensible, long-term and fair approach" to the issue such as tolerated cruising areas. Manchester police are implementing more patrols along the canal tow path after a number of complaints about robberies and assaults. The area has long been a popular spot for men meeting for sex but cruisers are now being warned they face arrest if caught. OutRage! claims that recent messages passed on the community by the north west-based Gay and Lesbian Foundation are "confusing" because there are no laws which specifically state that having sex in a public place is illegal. Police may charge cruisers with "outraging public decency" but this is usually reserved for persistent offenders or when activity has been viewed by members of the public.
The gay group believes it is time for a rethink on the issue, saying that cruising is an important part of the gay community and cannot be ignored. OutRage! member David Henry told PinkNews.co.uk: "The area that we're talking about, cruising is tolerated unofficially. But there is quite a lot of anger in the gay community about how it's being handled. It's only a small number of local residents complaining and it's not like there are letters to the local paper about it. "The [gay] community has been victimised and singled out. It is a red light area with plenty of heterosexual sex workers and kerb crawlers and they are tolerated.
The other interesting fact is that the reaction of the gay community has been less than accepting of the announcement of Outrage! if the comments column on the site are any indication.
Of course one of the comments is very much on point. There are "lovers lanes" where heterosexuals have been going for similar activity and no one s patrolling them and cautioning the people for their behaviour. So why focus on the gay site alone if this behaviour is to be frowned upon?
Personally I have no desire at all to be taking a walk and happen upon anyone having sex regardless of whether it is a same sex or mixed sex couple. My feeling is that the cheap bastards should get a room but then again that is just me.
