Michigan: Library puzzled why gay Web site named library bathroom as place to meet for sex

Library cited as gay 'cruising' area

By Lisa Roose-Church
Daily Press & Argus

Brighton District Library officials are at a loss as to why a Web site aimed at homosexual men has listed the library bathroom as a place to meet for sex.

Library Director Charlene Huget said Wednesday the posting was discovered by someone outside the library who notified library officials.

It appears that the link proclaiming the library's washrooms as a "cruising" place has been on the Web site for a couple of months, Huget said. It appeared someone e-mailed the site regarding the restrooms in December and January, "but there haven't been any postings since," she said.

"It was quite an unpleasant surprise," Huget said. "We've notified the police, and we've also notified this Web site that the local police department has been contacted and they are monitoring the location."

The Web site - www.squirt.org - states it is "your neighborhood cruising guide" and boasts it lists more than "15,000 locations where gay and bisexual guys meet for sex." The Web site lists saunas, bathhouses, adult bookstores, adult video arcades, adult cinemas, gay sex clubs, tearooms, cottages, parks, nude beaches, truck stops, rest areas and restrooms.

It also lists other locations in Livingston County, including unidentified "state land" and a Howell carpool lot as cruising spots, as well as an area called "Exit 137 at 147," which is not further defined.

Huget said no sexual activity has been discovered in the Brighton library's restrooms.

Attempts by the Daily Press & Argus to send a Web message to the creator of the Web site for comment were unsuccessful.

Huget said the discovery has been "disheartening" for library staff who are professionals, proud of all the library programs offered.

"It casts a negative light," Huget said. "We'll do everything in our power to make sure that we keep a close eye on things. There is nothing going on (at the library) that would endanger people who come in."

Library officials posted a message on the Web site's message board asking site creators to take the library name and link off its Web site, Huget said. The message stated that the police had been notified and are "monitoring" the situation.

Not surprisingly, the library has not had a response to its request. Huget said she is not sure if the site has complied with the request because "no one at the library wants to log onto the Web site."

The Daily Press & Argus learned the Brighton Library link was on the Web site as of Wednesday.

Huget said no illicit activity has ever been observed at the library.

"All we can do is tell people the bathrooms are being monitored and anyone engaging in illicit behavior is risking prosecution," Huget said.

More proof that gays are loving, kind, upstanding people who want to marry and be accepted as they are in every Christian church in America. /sarcasm

I haven't ever heard of anyone hooking up in a library bathroom. It sounds kind of pathetic, like they are homeless and have no where else to go.

I have never heard of public bathrooms being cited as places where people with normal "orientation" hook up. OTOH, homosexuals have defended anonymous restroom sex going back to before the age of AIDS. Even after it is discovered, the more radical Gay-stapo soldiers have even condemned monitoring of restrooms in colleges and, in one memorable case, a Sears store in Northern California (Link not for the squeamish; not even close to work-safe).

In pre-AIDS San Francisco (mid-70s), there were residents of an area surrounding a small park who complained to city officials and police about gay men meeting in the bushes along walkways for sex at all hours of the day. Among the defenders of the practice was gay activist Carole Migden, a lesbian.

Migden is now a State Senator for San Francisco.

(s)we had better be careful, eventually the homoadvocates will demand "conjugal visit" rooms to be part of building codes. Thos rooms would be next to the bathrooms. You can just envision the universal symbol door signs. (/s)

Huget said no sexual activity has been discovered in the Brighton library's restrooms.

In other words, the search for homos having sex turned up, uh, fruitless.

....this practice of turning public restrooms into makeshift bordellos is ridiculous.

Sounds like you're not really getting it yet. No offense intended.

Perhaps it was put on the list as a stunt, just to annoy the library officials. Kind of a "we're here we're queer and we're in your face" sort of move.

Gee, some people go to libraries to check out porn on the computers. How many librarians are upset about that?

Librarians are sure upset if they can't get porn on their computers.

nothing smells a dead giveaway like the smell of sex in a bathroom.

How comforting.

Why would a website about a citrus soda drink be mentioning places to meet for homosexual sex at a library ? :-)

Watch for the guy with the "air bag." That's a shopping bag carried by a homo with nothing in it which is used to stand in in a toilet stall so that no one sees two sets of feet under the stall door. Disgusting?
