AMSTERDAM, 08/03/08 - The police's National Diversity Expertise Centre (LECD) wants sex allowed in all public parks in the Netherlands. The police institute has advised the cities to follow the example of Amsterdam, De Telegraaf newspaper reported Friday.
In Amsterdam's Vondelpark, owners of dogs let off the leash can be fined, but sex will shortly be permitted. "Why should we try to maintain something that is actually impossible to maintain, which also causes little bother for others and for a certain group actually signifies much pleasure?" says Paul van Grieken, the responsible Alderman in the Oud-Zuid district of Amsterdam.
Van Grieken confirmed that the plan to tolerate public sex in Vondelpark is part of a draft version of new rules of conduct for the city's best-known park. The regulations are to come into force after the summer. "Of course there are strict rules attached. Thus, condoms must always be cleared away, it must never take place in the neighbourhood of children's playgrounds and the sex must be restricted to the evening and night-time."
The draft memorandum says that fines will be maintained for dogs running around off the leash that, for example, cause nuisance to sunbathing or cycling users of the park. "The research showed that many people find this disturbing," according to the alderman.
LECD is now calling on Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht to tolerate 'cruising' gays in all their parks. In a letter to the administrators of the three cities, the police institute says that by regulating sex in public, the safety of homosexuals from 'queer-bashers' can be better guaranteed.
Thus, it says in the recommendations that "officers must not disturb the activities, as long as they do not cause any actual nuisance" and they would "only have to take corrective action if there is a question of actual offensive behaviour that is visible from the public path."
Homosexuals' organisation COC is pleased that the Amsterdam Oud-Zuid district is to be the first to tolerate sex in the Vondelpark. "Cruising is something belonging to all time and banning it does not work anyway. They do it surreptitiously and mostly without others being annoyed by it. But homos at cruising spots are often attacked. By now agreeing rules of behaviour on this, safety can be increased," according to COC Amsterdam chairman Dennis Boutkan.
Well, they're already vondeling each other there anyway....
“This will really tick off the muslims”
I would imagine that’s what this is all about.
They are asserting themselves to establish policies that will remind people of other cultures how unwelcome they will feel in Dutch society.
Scratch them off of any of my European travel destinations.
They evidently don't consider it to be a problem.
My religion has a prophecy that ties "people doing it along the roads" to a great "chastisement".
They’ve long since been scratched off my travel destinations since euthansia came up.
Hungry Americans who are no longer restrained by their Christian faith. That’s scary!
When I was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
Wed hide from the lights
On the village green
When I was seventeen
Looter Girl?
Are you sure? Didn't a boy put his finger in it?
“When you set the speed limit at 55, people tend to drive in the 60-70 range. I bet that principle applies to sex in the park rules too.”
I agree the 60-70 range is entirely to fast for sex. I limit myself to 55. It saves on gas,less swerving and my carbon footprint is decreased.
Moral absolutes and homosexual agenda ping!
The Dutch ought to ask their Muslim Masters before they allow public sex. I hear they don’t like that.
