A park near Amsterdam has unveiled information signs pointing out spots where officials say gay men are known to have sex, so visitors are not taken by surprise.
The signs "clearly indicate what is happening in each zone; also those where gay men are known to practice 'cruising'," municipal spokeswoman Manon Koffijberg said.
Cruising is a slang word used to describe the act of trawling for casual sex.
There had been recent complaints of gay bashing in the Slotervaart area, populated by a large group of immigrants of Muslim origin, with reports of robberies and violence against gay men in De Oeverlanden park.

is that why they tried to kill Queen Beatrix????
So basically, the Dutch are officially sanctioning the fact that an ordinary citizen cannot walk in a certain section of a public park without subjecting himself to public indecency or worse.
I side with the gays. They aren’t trying to kill me or my family.
If the conflicts between these extremists on both sides, as Dutch society enters gives up the middle and enters fragmentation-stage, weren’t so deadly serious, it would actually be rather interesting to watch the coming chaos.
Heh. I have to agree.
You can probably expect to be propositioned there. Those on the Left who laughed at the toe-tapper in the airport should put the shoe on the other foot and condemn this too. Or was it really just about embarassing the GOP and seizing Congress?
Somebody needs to start making funny short movies ,sort of like nature specials. The whole gist of the show would be to dramatize when two protected groups come together that nobody is sure how to deal with it. The working title would need to be splashed across the screen as a deep voiced male narrates it......WHEN MINORITIES.....COLLIDE!!!.....
“Dutch signs..”?????
Sen Craig says just tap your foot 3 times in the park!
I imagine there’d be a more extreme outrage if the perps weren’t Muslims.

One problem they still have -- no signs pointing to spots where Moslems are known to murder filmmakers.
