Well, bear in mind I'm a fairly libertarian guy trying to think like a bureaucrat here, but I think the idea is they're trying to discourage public indecency (guys giving each other hummers in the restroom -- public park restrooms are infamous for this as well), and that therefore there is a sufficiently compelling public interest to justify limiting free speech. Or something like that.
