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.

I prefer trained mutant flying pirahanna fish which are trained to leap at 30 second intervals.

[sportutegrl]

Not sure what SO2 is. I am out of the loop somewhat.

[lastchance]

I think maybe there would be robo toilet stalls designed for use by the handicapped. Maybe some sort of key card would be issued for the handicapped so access to these units would be restricted to them.

I lack such confidence in government.

On another note, one of our children is afflicted with Crohn’s disease.

Do you believe reports that Crohn's disease could be caused by bacteria in milk?

[patton]

No, not really - it is an allergic response, like asthma.

I could be wrong, though.

The immune system is amazing - if it works, you are golden. If it turns on you, you are F%^$#@.

I make no claim to understand it.

What I don’t get is homosexuals are supposedly tasteful and have a sense for interior design, fashion, etc... how is a grubby bathroom stall at all tasteful and appealing to them? And wouldn’t they worry about their fashionable clothing getting dirty, et al...???

The son of a friend of mine was accosted at a toilet by a gay man. He just kicked his ass.

Also known as the guardsman defense.

I know exactly what you're talking about:

I live in San Francisco, and about in April or so I had to go to a party, down near the beach at this house --my bosses house. I had to go 2 the bathroom badly, and didn't want that to be the first thing I did when I arrived there.

Driving around down near the beach, I saw this large, concrete, ominous public bathroom. It looked like a bunker.

As I approached, I saw that the structure was absolutely festooned with militant announcements; "No Loitering --REGULAR POLICE PATROL" "NO Lewd Behavior", and all matter of other such warnings.

Walking closer, I chuckled to myself, first knowing that past gay activity had provoked these countermeasures. Secondly, it seemed absurd that ANYONE would try ANYTHING in view of all these hysterical signs --you'd be OUT OF YOUR MIND.

I rounded the corner, dreading the stench (which did come) and as my eyes adjusted, I saw that all the stall doors had been removed --like basic training, or something. I walked further inside,

TO SEE A NAKED DUDE STANDING THERE IN THE STALL, WAITING.

-->NOTHING DETERS THESE FREAKS.

[Fido969]

That’s a terrible idea.

Hook the automatic "fagometer" to a boiling hot vat of tar that dumps on the violator, then 2 king sized pillows full of feathers.........................oops, sorry.

[processing please hold]

"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 he's talking about the act itself....wow, wham bam thank you sir.

[burzum]

how about a toilet stall that traps you until the police arrives.

Oh great, now not only do I have to worry if the toilet will boot me out before I finish, I also have to worry whether it would lock me up if I made too much noise. I think I'll pass on this piece of social engineering.

I've read reports that gays laughing about "one minute stands" as opposed to "one night stands" so opening the door after a short while doesn't seem like it will do much to stop such activity.
