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.
Wouldn't it be easier to just bust the gays when they get all cuddly in the restroom?
ping...
Inadvertently giving flashers a built-in excuse. Yeah, that’ll work.
But remember, they are just like the rest of us... (rolling eyes)
LOL!
I too lack faith in government. But I have faith in those the government must answer to at the end of the day.
A decade or so back, the genius Mayor of Rochester got a law passed that made it harder for pervs to have gay sex in dirty bookstores.
As a result, they started using the public parks!
Well done former Mayor Johnson!
This solon is now teaching at one of our local colleges.
Amazing!
They’ll just yell “Tah-Dah!” every time the door opens.
Gays in MA just use the Rest Stops on the highways. When the State cops tried to bust them, they got a Gay friendly judge to rule that public sex was part of Gay Culture.
This is what we’ve come to in America. Playcating and tolerating the deranged at huge costs to normal, law-abiding people.
HOW ABOUT START LOCKING UP THE INDECENT AND MAKE THEM PAY A CONSEQUENCE OF THEIR SICK ACTIONS?!!!
They do that here on the NYS Thruway ...
I never go in alone if possible coz I have a pretty nice butt! ;)
