While many Americans may only be vaguely familiar with the idea of "cruising," there is a secret world of sex between men that exists in public places across the country.
The police officer who arrested Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, in a men's restroom at Minneapolis airport for allegedly looking to engage in gay sex wrote in his June report that he "recognized a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct."

Public places like men's restrooms, in airports and train stations, truck stops, university libraries and parks, have long been places where gay and bisexual men, particularly those in the closet, congregate in order to meet for anonymous sex.
Over time, people familiar with cruising told ABCNEWS.com, gay men began using a codified system of signals to indicate to others that they were interested in sex. In an effort to curb lewd acts in public — or as some gays argue, in an effort to persecute gay men — undercover police began sting operations in places known for sex soliciting and employed the same codes.
"Tapping of the foot is pretty standard for men who cruise in toilets," said Keith Griffith, owner of Cruisingforsex.com, a Web site on which visitors post locations popular with men looking for anonymous sex.
"They will usually go to the stall at the far end of the strip of toilets. They will see each other and usually decide to go someplace else. The vast majority have no interest in being seen. They may be meeting in public locations, but they will be as discreet as possible," Griffith said.
Cruising areas traditionally have been those parts of town "women and children are told to avoid," but through word of mouth, bathrooms at places like Wal-Mart or Home Depot can become cruising locales, he said.

My gut tells me that Craig was guilty as homemade sin, but even so, when I heard the “police tapes” with the officer telling the soon to be ex-Senator how disappointed he was in him (several times, no less), I couldn’t help but remind myself how Left-Wing the People’s Republic of Minnisocialist truly is. Nor could I but wonder which of his queer brethren had set him up.
I tell ya’ folks....I am so nieve....never heard of “tapping” in my over 50 yrs of life...
Thank GOD we are that naive!
“We do not want to know.”
You’re right. We don’t. Unfortunately, I work in a university library, and if this article is correct, it’s a haven for queers looking to score. I guess it’s good to know if I hear what sounds like “Lord of the Dance” going on in the restroom, I should probably call security.
I don't know. I always thought those cute little rainbows back window thingies (for cars) was something I thought I would like to have on my car until my daughter told me it was a symbol/supporting of homosexuals. Yes, I am an idiot.
signal for heterosexuals? how about “can I buy you a drink”? LOL
> places like Wal-Mart or Home Depot can become cruising locales, he said
Yikes.
You’re bad )
“bathrooms at places like...Home Depot”
Hey fella, that’s a nice piece of wood ya got there!
“bathrooms at places like Wal-Mart or Home Depot can become cruising locales”
I was not aware of the dangers of Wal-mart or Home Depot. The only thing strange I’ve ever seen was when I walked into a restroom in Wal-mart and a woman in there started yelling at me that I was in the wrong bathroom. When I pointed out the row of urinals on the wall she was not so vocal and beat a hasty retreat.
>> places like Wal-Mart or Home Depot can become cruising locales, he said
>Yikes.
When Home Depot opened their first “in-town” location here in Atlanta, it quickly became known as a gay cruising spot, to the point where it was commented on in the AJC. The one on Sydney Marcus Blvd, at Lindberg Plaza, for any locals.
KLBJ-FM in Austin was reading from a website that gave *star* ratings to different places in the area where one could find gay sex. “Come to such and such park to watch guys going at it”.......Frisbee football?
Check out the big hands on that dude!
And you know what they say about dudes with BIG hands...
Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping at Home Depot. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don’t be naive enough to think it couldn’t happen to you or your friends.
Here’s how the scam works:
Two seriously good-looking 20-21 year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the trunk. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It is impossible not to look.
When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say “No” and instead ask you for a ride to another Home Depot or Lowe’s. You agree and they get in the back seat.
On the way, they start undressing. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over you, while the other one steals your wallet.
I had my wallet stolen August 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th,17th, 20th, & 24th. Also September 1st, 2nd, twice on the 3rd, three times today and very likely again this upcoming weekend. So tell your friends to be careful.
Hmmmm, “Turn Your Tail to the Left”, “Turn Your Tail to the Right”, “Hookup”, etc. Sounds suspiciously homo to me..............
And you noticed it’s from Canada...hmmmm....
