BREAKING: LA City Council members have removed "No U-Turn" traffic signs in a gay neighborhood.

They say the signs were homophobic.

No, this is not satire.

In the late 90s when the internet was still new and gay dating apps like Grindr did not exist, queer men sometimes relied on printed guidebooks that listed public areas where they could find love, sex and community without outing themselves. Among those areas was West Hollywood, where anti-gay traffic signs similar to the ones removed Monday were installed in 1991 and later removed — and Griffith Park Boulevard in Silver Lake, where Soto-Martinez and Raman’s districts now meet. The area is also where more than half a dozen bars, all within a 2-mile radius, serve a thriving queer clientele between East Hollywood and Silver Lake.

The supposed reason for the signs was to prevent perverts from cruising and meeting up with other gays. For a social tea no doubt.

Now what someone should do is track the rise in STDs and other viruses that are more prevalent among that population. Next to go is any locks on public bathroom stalls.

Because in other neighborhoods you don’t have perverts needing to make a quick Uturn so they can “meet up” with another pervert for tea and philosophical discussions.

[lastchance]

I predict a rise in STDs.

[Bullish]

The neighborhood is gay? And I thought only messed up people could turn gay.

Some public officials don’t know how to say “NO!” To that they should add “ and don’t ask again.”

I have a permanent arm injury so I am offended by traffic signs that mock me with the message “Soft Shoulder.”

Notice the Baby Gay sign behind?

Always the kids…

When they put these signs up in Greenfield, WI they were to prevent hod rodders from cruising up and down 76th street, past Solid Gold McDonalds. Who knew crusing on 76th street was homophobic?

[SaxxonWoods]

These people are common sense phobic and should be ignored.

LA City Council members not dealing with normal people called team work.

[BrexitBen]

Did anyone check out the “ name “ of the featured speaker?

[Ronald77]

The mentally ill are those that actually make the changes demanded by the insane.

[Vaduz]

Didn’t see it

[moovova]

Yield.

The Mexicans have ethnically cleansed black people from LA County. Next to go are the psychotic white females running the county.
