you again. well, let me ask you this.

something offends you. deeply. to your core. it's not illegal, but it's a private matter that you wholeheartedly disagree with. now, you are in a public place and you see people performing acts. not the actual act that offends you, but these acts lead directly to the offending act.

again and again you see the pre-act, if you will, and each time you are offended because you know it leads to the offending act. and sometimes you even see the offending act that follows the pre-act! would you be ok seeing this pre-act every time you went to this PUBLIC place? what if your kids asked you about these acts because they also noticed them?

and in this particular case, it was well documented that foot-tapping is a pre-curser to gay sex. just as much as if someone had said, "do you want to go have gay sex?"

would that statement in a public restroom have offended you?

Lots of things offend me. But I don’t have a Constitutional right not to be offended. And I REALLY don’t have a Constitutional right not to see things that might lead UP to something that will offend me. Is that really the case you were trying to make?
And...I know it is all for the children (where have I heard THAT before??) but really, there were no kids involved in this. If he was propositioning a minor, that would be a different kettle of fish.
