CALGARY -- A police raid has forced sex between gay men from the confines of a bathhouse out into the streets and in public view, say leaders of Calgary's gay community.

"I think what you're going to see is an increase in that activity until either the bathhouse is open again or an alternative facility (is introduced)," said Roy Heale, publisher of Calgary's gay magazine, Outlooks.

How about taking it to a hotel/motel/private residence?????

[Utmost Certainty]

Haven't they wanted that kind of public attention all along?

And the queers say there is no difference between them and us straight people.

Of course, they have NO CHOICE but to screw in the streets, in front of everyone else.

Didn't the homofascist say the buggers liked the bathhouse because no one they knew would see them?

"Safer sex information can be more easily disseminated (at a bathhouse) and there's certain peer pressure to practise safe sex."

Notice the word "safer", not safe. They are lying to themselves.

It has been almost 20 years since we first heard about AIDs. At this point in time, no one should be infected with this desease. We know what it is, and we know how it spreads, and we know how it can be contained.

But as the first polictically correct desease, it is protected. I have to wonder about the sanity of homosexuals.

It is a little like the Democrats. If they would have taken the hit on Bill Clinton, and impeached him, Al Gore would be President today.

If the Homosexual community would have followed standard practices in fighting STD, AIDs would not have gotten as established in the "gay" community as it has.

The homosexuals fought against acts that would have controlled the spread of the desease, and now 20 years later it is still being spread.

I can have sympathy for a fellow human being as they waste away from a desease, but I have no sympathy for "gay" activist who wish to continue down a deadly path, all the while crying society is not doing enough for them.

Living in Northern California with the major newspapers coming out of San Francisco I have read stories where the younger "gay" men upset because they missed out in the golden age of homosexuallity of free sex before AIDs. I have also read that some do not follow safe sex practices because they want to get the desease (for reasons I can not understand). And I have read of stories of "gay" men, once they have AIDs willing to spread the desease (again for reasons I can not understand.)

These are anecdotal stories to be sure, and may not represent the homosexual community at large, but then if you (figuratively) watch the action of "gays" they would seem to be true.

As an observer on life I would have to say, coming out of the closet for "gay" men may have not been the best thing to happen to them, only time will tell.

I have no personal knowledge of gay bathhouses, but I'm just speculating that they have to be petri dishes for all kinds of disease...heat, moisture everywhere including the air, exposed mucous membranes--do they use lots of bleach and industrial strength disinfectant in those places?

I just can't imagine even walking into one...

[Happygal]

I have quite a few gay friends, and wouldn't consider myself in the slightest bit homophobic.

But I find this whole 'bath house' mentality, both disturbing and dangerous.

And are we supposed to feel SORRY for these married gays? I feel sorry for their hood-winked (and dare I say stupid wives) who pick up the STD's they bring home from the bath house.

"I think what you're going to see is an increase in that activity until either the bathhouse is open again or an alternative facility (is introduced)," said Roy Heale, publisher of Calgary's gay magazine, Outlooks.

Although I have no problem with bathhouses.. (errr...'cept I'd never set foot near one.).... or sex between heteros in such places, for that matter...

.... Don't they have beds in Canada? Bedrooms? Houses?? Apartments? Motels?

[Iowa Granny]

So why don't they find their own 'private place' for sex, like the rest of us do? They're providing a place for married men to have out of wedlock gay sex. Imagine the uproar if someone were providing a place for married men to have out of wedlock 'regular' sex.

This is outside my level of understanding.

One generation ago when the hunt for AIDS Patient Zero was on, my closest friend's wife's brother, an M.D., was doing CDC funded field research in San Francisco - the "bath house" scene. After two remarkable bath house interviews, two "men" swore in affidavits that in the year past they had had sex with about 1,500 and 2,500 different "men". This doctor said he was left with a deeply felt reaction of "Let them die."

Back in the late 70's, before aids, the local Detroit police had a policy of 'leaving em alone' in their bathhouses, bookstores and bars.

Their thought was it gives them a place to go and keeps them out of the mall, park and rest areas bathrooms...

This was mostly likely true.
