Not sure about its effects on detering people. Maybe you could put up signs saying you’d sprayed with Round-Up. Of course, then you’d have lawyers pestering people in the park.

LOL The idiocy of Pravda on the Hudson.

What did the men attack? The “gay” men? No. They could have but they didn’t. They cut down what had been facilitating the public indecency of the “gay” men. That’s all.

Trump does not act like an adult. I hope someone else will be the Republican nominee in 2020. I know that some Trump supporters think he's a "fighter" because of stuff like this, but they would laugh at a Democratic president who did this. 1 posted on ‎10‎/‎10‎/‎2017‎ ‎1‎:‎11‎:‎18‎ ‎PM by reaganaut1 [ Post Reply | Private Reply | View Replies | Report Abuse] Found your candidate yet?

The State of Ohio razed some rest stops due to all the homosexual activity. Gotta find a McDonald’s now..........

Yep.

I can remember the days before cellphones, when crack dealers and prostitutes congregated around pay phones— on street corners & in businesses.

We’d have the phone company remove the payphones. Instant cleanup.

“Why do homosexuals have a penchant for sex in wooded parks and public bathrooms, like animals?”

The danger of getting caught in public adds to the thrill.
They want to keep it anonymous, especially the married guys on the “down low.”
Plus they’re wary of going home with anonymous partners who might turn out to be vigilante gay bashers.
IOW being behind closed doors poses a greater risk of being beaten or killed.

Actually, I see this as the Media’s moral equivalency explanation for the police watching in Portland while Antifa beat a man senseless.

For real moral equivalency, they should consider the KKK. Silly masks in public, violence, and police unwillingness to curb their excesses.

“When, I wonder.”

Well, they were publishing Walter Duranty’s whitewashing of Soviet atrocities back in the 1930s, so it must have been before that.

A-They didn’t have Grindr back then, so this was a way to find a new random partner every night.
B-They enjoy the thrill of possibly getting caught.
C-The cops (and mafia blackmailers) would monitor known gay bars, so the married ones or ones in the closet who were smart wanted to avoid that scene.

The area was cleaned up to prevent- persons to gather and commit crimes.

Property owners are cited/charged for not doing such improvements.

Not really, although it appears that way.
The OP posted that last November and I wondered if she has found a candidate she can support for President yet, since she finds President Trump so distasteful.

They ruined all the nature spots in Florida. Can’t go there with kids(or at all) as you’ll likely see a guy giving another guy a hummer or worse.

Something about doing things in the woods gets them off I guess.

Big Tree Park in Longwood FL. One of the biggest trees in the State. Ruined

So at one point there were straight men in NYC?

That’s just crazy!

Thanks, it’s usually the other (NY) end of the state when we want to stop and have to try and guess if any particular exit is a good place to pull off, the MA end of the state is quite a bit easier. I have been to that truck stop a number of times, but I’m always grateful for good information.
