Robo-toilets proposed to stop 'gay' cruising
Mayor: 'Homosexuals ... engaging in sex, anonymous sex, illegal sex'

Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jim Naugle says his city has a problem with "homosexual activity" in public restrooms and he has a plan to stop it – robotic toilets that allow occupants to stay inside for only a short time before the door automatically opens.
"We're trying to provide a family environment where people can take their children who need to use the bathroom without having to worry about a couple of men in there engaged in a sex act," Naugle told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
The $250,000 self-cleaning robo-johns have been installed in San Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta and New York. The modular units play music and can be accessed for a fee or for free, depending on each city's policies.
Fort Lauderdale police officials said male sex in public restrooms is no longer a problem, but Naugle insists the practice persists and has used recent public meetings and e-mails to constituents to raise the issue.
Public restrooms are pickup places for "homosexuals. ... They're engaging in sex, anonymous sex, illegal sex," he said.
Naugle said the proposed location for the city's first experimental unit is "the rainbow parking lot" at a local beach considered by some to be the area's "gay beach."
"The homosexual newspaper said it's the 'gay parking lot.' That's not me saying that," Naugle told the Sun-Sentinel, "that's what they said. I don't use the word 'gay.' I use the word 'homosexual.' Most of them aren't gay. They're unhappy."
Dean Trantalis, an openly homosexual former member of the City Commission who served with Naugle for three years, welcomes the restrooms at the beach but said the decision should not be made based on whether they will be used for sexual activity.
"I'm not an expert on public toilet sex," said Trantalis, "but there are those who would say one minute would be enough. Or 30 seconds."
If approved by the City Commission, the timed toilets will be paid for with property-tax funds.
Bttt
Her I sit
Broken hearted
Paid my fee
And only farted.
This is a waste of money. A better idea would be to enact an ordinance and increase police presence.
Are fags sexually aroused by SO2?
What a dumb waste of taxpayer money. $250,000 for a single toilet? A few well-publicized arrests would go a long way toward deterring this problem at much less cost.
There is a way to stop it. It is called regular patrols. The son of a friend of mine was accosted at a toilet by a gay man. He just kicked his ass.
Probably the mayor concerned about the potential liability issue when the first children are attacked.
This could kill their tourist dollars.
Without delving too far into the issue, I’d have to say “yes”.
what if you are doing #2?
good for him. I would have done the same.
If the timer clock is getting late, better pinch off that loaf!
lol
“I’m not an expert on public toilet sex,”
Good. That should be between your toilet and yourself.
“Guy has sex with John”
Just throw ice water on them, it works with dogs.
There isnt a lot of difference.
All of a sudden, “hitting the head” is a term for when you get caught to close to the doors while in the act...
To homos, I guess a “Swirly” in a bathroom isn’t a bad thing...
Why are they worrying about opening the stall doors? It’s the back doors that are the issue!
I should hope not.
Probably a seasoned amateur.
This whole problem could be solved if a bounty on their pelts would be levied. It used to be how many varmit problems were solved by municipalities. Probably $0.50 each would be enough.
how about a toilet stall that traps you until the police arrives.
