Senator Wiener has always been active in supporting gay sex in San Francisco. Back in 2013 he was a city supervisor
Supervisor Scott Wiener, whose District 8 includes the Castro, supports putting the doors back on in sex clubs.
“I support elimination of the ban on private rooms in bathhouses,” Wiener said in an email. “This ban doesn’t have a basis in public health and is arbitrary. Gay men have various ways of meeting other gay men for sex, whether in bars, bathhouses, or online. To claim, as this rule does, that having sex in a private room in a bathhouse is somehow riskier than going to someone’s house or having public sex in a bathhouse, makes no sense to me.”
