(Kinda cross posted from my LJ Some minor additions… I figured you lot had to see this…)
My dad just got called away to work last night. (He works as a mall manager.) Turns out, that earlier yesterday, there were a couple of guys that threatened to come back and kill (Yes…“kill”) one of the maintenance workers because they were being told to leave the bathrooms.
Well…they came back last night.
The maintenance guy called the cops. (He called them yesterday after they threatened him so the cops knew something was gonna happen.) The cops arrested the guys on charges of trespassing (One of the guys was warned the day before.) and for threatening behaviour.
The two guys freaked out claming that they were being discriminated against because they were gay and that it is there right to have sex there.
Now anyone who knows me I couldn’t care if someone is gay or straight, but this sort thing is bullshit. Heck, I understand the thrill of having sex ‘in public’ and everything, but it you’re caught, YOU’RE CAUGHT!!!! No argument! Hands down! It is not your fucking right to have sex there because you’re gay!
Ya know…folks like that really can make the rest of the gay community look bad in the eyes of others…it’s sad.
The bathrooms in this mall are actually an ‘advertised’ spot for gays to meet to have sex.
I have the URL, but don’t want to post it as it leads to other pages with adult content.
Because this mall is a known hang out for this sorta thing, the people working there have to deal with this stuff all the time. They even put a ‘dummy’ camera outside the bathroom door but it was it was smashed up. Unfortunately, the cops said there wasn’t much they could do.
There are also parks here (Victoria and Motz Park) in town that is another local spot for this sorta thing, again, the cops can’t really do anything because those apprehended claim they are being discriminated against because they are gay…pressure is put on the cop and they let them go… (According to the cops, anyway.)
