UK Police Instructed Not to Interfere with the "Human Right" of Anonymous Public Sex
LifeSiteNews ^ | 10/17/08 | Kathleen Gilbert

LANCASHIRE, United Kingdom, October 17, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Public homosexual activity in parks and public bathrooms must not be impeded by law enforcement officials except as a last resort, says a new set of draft guidelines for UK police.

Deputy Chief Constable Michael Cunningham of Lancashire Police, who drew up the 21-page report, titled "Guidance on Policing Public Sex Environments", wrote, "In any event it is not for the police to take the role of moral arbiter." Rather than arresting those who have sex in public, the police should instead guard the "human rights of those people who frequent open spaces" to seek anonymous copulation partners, an activity known as "cruising."

"The police role is to ensure that any complaints are dealt with fairly and professionally and that where individuals are engaged in lawful activity they may do so safely," said the report. Mr. Cunningham is the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) spokesman on homosexual issues.

The constable encouraged police to study sex websites for insight into the whereabouts of homosexual sex hot spots. Such websites show, among pornographic advertisements, dozens of public haunts for homosexual men seeking anonymous sex - among the most notorious being Dartford Heath, where public sex has been said to have spiraled "out of control."

The report complained that previous activity on the part of police officers to stop public sex has alienated the gay community.  The report blames law enforcement for leading to homosexual "self-harm," citing the fact that some homosexuals have attempted suicide who "may have been arrested, charged or come into contact with the police in such a situation." 

"The impact of enforcement can also be severe and rarely resolves the community problems associated with the existence of a public sex environment," wrote Cunningham.

"This impact can be extreme and can include humiliation, breakdown of relationships and the 'outing' of men living in an opposite sex relationship being perceived as 'gay.'"

The ACPO already enforces guidelines for police officers handling the public indecency claims against homosexual cruising, which emphasize "the value of building trust with local LGBT communities" to ensure that action against homosexual activity be "fair, necessary, and legitimate."  The guidelines were authored by the ACPO Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Working Group in 2000 to provide "a comprehensive LGBT policing strategy centered around anti-homophobia."

Cunningham's report will now be submitted for approval by a committee of senior police officers before it is put in place across England and Wales.

What the heck is a "last resort"? You really need to use the stall?

They really have broadened the definition of “human.” I wonder if their lexicon includes the word “decency.”

What about everyone else’s human right not to have to witness intimate acts in public? Or have their children see such acts?

So the cops have to stand guard now while a couple of homosexuals play Brokeback Mountian in public?

Ain't this "new direction" grand?

It is rather disgusting to be doing #2...with the common sounds, and look over in the stall next to yours and see someone sitting on the pot, and someone in front on their knees. What about us? Do we have right?

Big deal. The American Library Association does nothing to encourage libraries to stop people viewing child pornography or bestiality in American public libraries. In fact, they do the opposite:

"As for obscenity and child pornography, prosecutors and police have adequate tools to enforce criminal laws. Libraries are not a component of law enforcement efforts...."

"That goes for pornography and bestiality, too. If you don't like it, don't look at it ... Every time I hear someone say, I want to protect the children, I want to pull my hair out."

Will the police interfere is I practice my basic RIGHT and light up and smoke in the same toilet. Sounds like a double standard. I won’t be going to the U.K anytime soon.

“anonymous copulation partners”

Ewwwww!

BTW, what about the right of others to NOT have to watch anonymous copulation partners in public?

Even stray animals having sex in public are considered a health/public safety issue and will be controlled by the dog-catcher.

They're having sex in public, and they're afraid of being outed?

As a straight, happily married, man, I am beginning to think that a Muslim takeover the US would be good. They would stone homosexuals and amputate hands of thieves. I don’t have a problem with that.

Britain is so screwed. Kid in Park: “Daddy, what are those two men doing over there on that picnic table with all those children watching them?” PC Father: “They’re exercising their right to seek anonymous partners in open spaces, son.” Kid: “Oh, is that so? I thought they were only bu__fu__ing.”

Why can’t these folks just get a room? Why do they have special rights to have sex in public view in a public place? I remember when cruising meant going to Sonic on Friday night to have a root beer float.
Muslims and gays seem to be the new federally protected species.

It’s a public health issue. The police should be instructed to examine each couple and determine if safe sex practices are being applied.

A witty city councilman once proposed a solution to public park men’s rooms. Install UV lights in them. A few minutes of exposure wouldn’t be a problem, but if you spent more than 10 minutes in there at once, you would get a sunburn.

They decided against it, but only because they were afraid that if someone passed out, they could get a bad burn.

The solution they finally agreed on was a timed light switch, so you would have to exit the restroom to turn the light back on, or it was pitch black inside.

"This impact can be extreme and can include humiliation, breakdown of relationships and the 'outing' of men living in an opposite sex relationship being perceived as 'gay.'"

I think that such a man’s partner has a right to know that her significant other is having random sex with other men.

A woman in a heterosexual relationship with such a man is having her health put at risk by being in a opposite sex relationship with a man who seeks anonymous copulation partners… in parks and public bathrooms. It is a public health necessity that such men are stopped from pursuing anonymous sex.

One has to wonder who the more "perverse, depraved" etc. are, the creeps who engage in this stuff or the public officials who can look citizens in the face and say things like that.

A cigarette is the one type of fag you are not allowed to have in public.

I'd wager they are the same.. google “homosexual manifesto” make sure you have safe search mode ON. The SF mayor gavin (any twosome) newsome spews this same perverse homo-propaganda from the city hall steps in SF .. Aaaannold has passed PC legislation to protect perverts in California. Coming soon to rest of the USA.

It does seem that politicians care little for the hellish cesspools their policies turn our cities into. It also seems that every variety of human trash there is now belongs to some obnoxious voting bloc. There’s a symbiosis there.

I was warned to stay away from the "P St. Beach" (at least during nighttime hours) in Washington DC back in the mid 1980s, when one of my favorite college watering holes was the Brickskeller. It's a park that sits on the Dupont Circle side of Rock Creek Park and Parkway, just below Mass Ave. I rode my bike through it once. Once. Noticed that many of the trees had cut down milk jugs filled with condoms nailed to them ...

How much longer can this go on? By its very nature (being against nature) homosexuality in particular and untrammeled hedonism in general has to get more and more extreme, more and more vicious, to give the participants the thrill or whatever it is they’re after.

When is this going to turn around? I think some drastic stuff will have to happen. The UK is particularly bad. Wonder when the Muslim Sharia law folks and “gay” rights (like the right to have public anonymous sodomy) folks will duke it out?
