I lived in SF, and I was down near Ocean Beach (which kinda sux and is usually mostly deserted).
I caught sight of a bunker-like public restroom, festooned in ugly graffitti. All over this restroom were scary signs, “No Loitering..!” “This premises patrolled regularly by SFPD..!”
Maybe a dozen other, similar signs all over it —truly amazing. I’d never seen such a place and wondered with such strident warnings who in their right mind would think of doing anything remotely suspicious there.
I had to use the restroom, and I entered the foreboding, bunker-like beach bathroom:
My eyes adjusted to the darkness and I saw to my shock through the gloom that there was a naked guy in there, just standing in the doorless stall, peering at me as I walked in.
**THAT** IS SAN FRANCISCO.
These people are sick, and you CANNOT deter them.
There are probably normal gay people, but there is a gay contingent from whom you really can see that their brand of sex is just one part of some type of much deeper problem.
I don’t know if it’s spiritual, or psychological, or whatever, but you can see that something is WRONG.
Ah yes San Fran stories...
My wife and I were walking around one night there, she had to use a restroom so we ducked in to the nearest bar.
Within moments I noticed something weird about the all male patrons then heard her scream coming out of the bathroom. She whizzed by grabbing my arm and we both hastened out the door.
Once outside she said there were 2 men in the women’s bathroom doing gross things. We laughed it off and then both wondered how we could have known it was a gay bar.
Looking at the front of the place there was a nice looking wooden sign with a beautifully carved white bird in the center of a round sign.
We wouldn’t have understood the words until we had already had our experience.
The place was called “The White Swallow”
In Toronto, when you’re out with your family for a stroll along the boardwalks or bike paths you’ll occasionally see mysterious PC signs saying “illegal activities prohibited.” That’s a sure sign of a gay cruising area. I learned this the hard way, and much eye bleach was necessary.
“normal gay people” is an oxymoron.
Homosexuality is a mental illness in both men and women who practice it.
SF is the new Sodom and Ghommorah.
Like FReeper JohnO says: For a Hetero, sex is what you do. For a Homo, sex is what you are.
