Street signs that officials said previously targeted LGBTQ community members were taken down from a Silver Lake neighborhood Monday.
The signs that read “No Cruising” and prohibited U-turns were installed in 1997 when neighbors complained about gay men hanging out and looking for dates in certain residential areas close to popular gay bars.
While the “No Cruising” signs were removed after the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council voted to dismantle them in 2011, some of the no U-turn signs remained.
Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman, whose district includes a portion of Silver Lake, said she learned about the remaining signs from a resident who listened to a podcast.
“The podcast mentioned that there had been “No Cruising” signs along Hyperion that had been removed in 2011, but that nine signs still remained on Griffith Park Boulevard,” Raman explained. “Our very own Silver Lake constituent, Donovan Daughtry, heard the episode, and in May of 2022 he reached out to our Silver Lake Field Deputy at the time.”
I don’t understand how even traffic controls are now anti-gay. Should red lights now be replaced with pink?
Tolerance, then acceptance, then approval/enshrinement/participation.
“You have got to be kidding”
What would be the purpose of banning U-turns from midnight to 6 AM?
I would love to have someone try to explain to me just how a *No U-Turn* sign has ANYTHING to do with sex, much less being *homophobic*.
Leftist thinking: We gays like anonymous anal sex, cars need to make u-turns to when they see a prospect shaking their wares on a sidewalk, prohibiting u-turns hampers obtaining that anonymous anal sex, so signs prohibiting u-turns is anti-gay.
That is a fair synopsis of this article.
In 1997, gays cruising for hookups was frowned upon (even in California). Now it is celebrated (and watch out if you don’t celebrate!) We’re living in a different country now.

They were angry at Lot for not bringing out the 2 angels so that they all could rape them. Over 4,000 years ago.
Genesis 19:4-11
King James Version
4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

Actually, this is great news. Any normal person who accidentally drives into that area can now make a quick and legal U-turn — and hightail it out of there!
"Dates."
Such a quaint way to put it.
Just think, only 25 years ago California passed prop 22, banning recognition of gay marriage in California
I read crap like this and it reinforces why these degenerate were historically persecuted.
“Exit Only” signs have been gone from that neighborhood for years.
I am starting to look at Revelations as a check list.
“What would be the purpose of banning U-turns from midnight to 6 AM”
I guess it was the result of a successful “cruise.” Get it and go.

You can enter but you’ll never leave!
They put up “No cruising” and “No U-Turn” signs to reduce homos from cruising for pickups. The people in the neighborhood hated the traffic, so this was an attempt to improve quality of life in the neighborhood. Everybody benefitted (except randy homos).
But the homo lobby wins again. Now they’ll replace the No U-Turn signs with homo flags.
They drive up and down a portion of the street looking for sexual partners.
