The locals call it "Two Miles of Horror" for good reason.

This has absolutley nothing to do with homophobia or even with enforcing the law. Both sides are lying through there teeth, and if anyone can't see that, they are either blind or naive.

This is about property values. These people didn't care about gays screwing each other like animals untill now, when a few people bought houses there and while at the same time, there are some people there who want to sell there houses.

Watching a couple of guys give each other "oral exams" doesn't do much to boose the property value of a house.

On any given summer weekend evening, there may be dozens of men parked alone in the lot here. When a driver arrives wanting to participate, he typically flashes his brake lights and parks. Then he may flip on his interior light and see who pulls up next to him.

Otherwise, two cars may pass each other like jousting knights and, if they like what they see, pull into adjacent parking spots to meet. Immediate sex is usually the goal, and the men either have it in their cars or wander onto the beach or the dunes.

This is odd to say, but it's kind of nice to see the practice of "cruising" finally detailed in a major newspaper. Usually the PC crowd likes to remain silent about the common practice of anonymous sex amongst male homosexuals. Typically they'd prefer to pretend that the majority of gay men are just like Jack on Will and Grace-- flamboyant but otherwise normal.

"I literally felt crucified," he said. "It was so public. I felt like I had been strung up in the parking lot."

I think I'm going to cry.

I wonder how the same gay crowd would like it if heteros went into their neighborhoods and did 'the nasty' in local parks and hangouts????

Once when I was in a West Hollywood florist shop picking up flowers for a sick friend, I kissed my boyfriend on the cheek for a compliment he had given me...and the flamboyant guy behind the counter screeched, "Ewwwwwwwww....heteros on the premises!" Other obviously gays in the shop all winced and scrunched their faces up. LOL

What's up with all those Jewish fags? They can't find a nice girl?

"crackdowns to stop us from meeting one another."

You can meet each other all you freaking want.

Then you can GET A FREAKING ROOM!!

I hate this crap. There are places in Central Park where you can't even walk without risking serious injury from slipping on all the condom and Aqua-Lube wrappers. The perverts all ought to be rounded up and jailed, every morning and every night, as the public nuisance they are.
