In the meantime he'd better buy some blinds...

There's a great spot on the Charles River out in the fancy suburbs of Boston(Newton/Weston) that has had a gay meeting place for years.

These gays must like the finer things in life.

[OldFriend]

LOLOL......the beautiful people are not amused!

[scott7278]

Nice imagery there...

[He Rides A White Horse]

I had the same thought.

[Wilhelm Tell]

The term "meeting place" is so misleading. It makes it sound like the gays get together to chat about fashion and their favorite show tunes.

"I literally felt crucified," he said. "It was so public. I felt like I had been strung up in the parking lot."

I think I'm going to cry.

[Hidgy]

ALL DOGS DO IT IN PUBLIC PLACES.

Usually the PC crowd likes to remain silent about the common practice of anonymous sex amongst male homosexuals. Typically they'd prefer to pretend that the majority of gay men are just like Jack on Will and Grace-- flamboyant but otherwise normal.

DINGGGGG!!! Give that man a cigar!

Like Marshall Kirk and Erastes Pill laid it out 16 years ago in "Overhauling Straight America".....don't let them see the "unsightly derriere" of homosexuality when you're lying to them. Later on you won't have to care.

This is won't-have-to-care time.

I'm still waiting for the mainstream journo article about the toll of boys.

[BossLady]

I wonder how the same gay crowd would like it if heteros went into their neighborhoods and did 'the nasty' in local parks and hangouts????

Once when I was in a West Hollywood florist shop picking up flowers for a sick friend, I kissed my boyfriend on the cheek for a compliment he had given me...and the flamboyant guy behind the counter screeched, "Ewwwwwwwww....heteros on the premises!" Other obviously gays in the shop all winced and scrunched their faces up. LOL

[GatekeeperBookman]

No, you are not homophobic-THEY are sick perverts-homosexuals-not 'gay'-hoomosexual. If anyone is 'phobic' its the homosexuals-heterophobic. They fear ethics. They fear morality-they likely will find an awful death in their perversion.

[TFMcGuire]

amen!

Well said!

[longtermmemmory]

He could easily solve the problem by broadcasting the faces of those engaged in public homosexual sex. Closeted homos don't like PR.

[Bob J]

You're not serious...seriously.

[OutAndProud]

As an out, Gay man, I want to make it very clear that most of us are not perverts, and are equally offended by this article.

The Supreme Court was fair, treating homosexuality and heterosexuality equally: what you do in your bedroom is none of the government's business.

However, I believe that public gay sex should be treated the same as public straight sex: arrest them for public lewdness. Like the gay man quoted at the end of the article, I feel that it is particularly offensive to the local homeowners to have to deal with this going on. The gays who are engaging in public sex on that beach need to learn to respect others.

However, just because there are offensive gays out there, it doesn't mean that all of us are equally offensive. Most of us just want to be treated with the same, not special, rights that heterosexuals enjoy.

[Jalapeno]

However, just because there are offensive gays out there, it doesn't mean that all of us are equally offensive.

I am sure from your perspective this is true, but I will disagree with you on this to extent of perception in society. Because it seems to me the "offensive gays" create and persist what is the perception of homosexuals in our nation and the world. This a a problem people such as yourself need to address if you want things to change.

[apackof2]

that most of us are not perverts

Sorry, but homosexuality in of itself is an abnormal perversion

Was the anus created for the insertion of a penis or to eliminate waste?

Can 2 homosexuals produce offspring?

Just because someone wants to do something does not make it normal

Therefore you cannot treat homosexuality and heterosexuality equally, because heterosexuality is normal whereas homosexuality is not

No one is born homosexual, its a choice based on different factors

Why can't anyone prove that homosexuality is genetic?

Simple because it isn't

So you have a choice my friend

What's up with all those Jewish fags? They can't find a nice girl?
