They already have such facilities. I believe it’s called a “Bathhouse”. Or in some cases, the washroom at the neighbourhood shopping mall.

***Councilman John Anderson, who was instrumental in the passage of a civil rights bill for those in the sexual minority.***

‘Sexual minority’? Mmmm...that’s a new one to me.

[circlecity]

Wouldn’t a gay only housing project violate civil rights laws which prevent discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation?

[grobdriver]

a housing project that will serve the needs of the LGBT community

When these people put their hands out, you've got to watch more than your wallet.

[GodfearingTexan]

Exactly.

[Terry Mross]

This is discrimination! I want a project for straight folks.

Hmmm - having homosexuals grouped in one place. Like some kind of camp....

Will they have to wear pink stars on their clothing as well?

[Catholic Canadian]

One is forced to wonder what happens during the application process in order to prove membership? Is there an oral test or something?

[Ray76]

State sponsored segregation. Where's the ACLU? /s

[Venturer]

I never met a gay who was broke.

Why do we have to pay for federal monies for faggots and broken down old Carpet munchers.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Hey! Is some of that money going for “upgrades” to the Rest Area bathrooms on the turnpike?

[cherry]

maybe its a good thing to keep the all together in one place....

you know we'll have to segregate completely in the future....

I have homosexual family members and I wish them no harm, just good....but honestly, its just ridiculous the amount of appeasement they get.

[Tzimisce]

...isn’t this discrimination?

[silverleaf]

Will there be a community bathhouse?

[silverleaf]

Will there be a community bathhouse?

[needmorePaine]

Ah, the city of my birth...
What a jewel it has become!

[Rusty0604]

I was just going to post that I'd like to apply for that and then sue the pants off of them (figuratively speaking) for discrimination if they don't let me in because I'm straight.

[Intolerant in NJ]

Public monies used to benefit a select minority of the population - especially a minority which is reputed to be among the best educated and most affluent in the country - sounds unconstitutional to me.....

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

“The facility will be energy efficient, generating more than five percent of the total energy that it uses from within the building,”

Generating heat from friction, I guess.
