Supreme Court Turns Public Places Into Sex Clubs

Lily-livered bureaucrats are under the impression that the Supreme Court's recent ruling on Lawrence vs. Texas means that sodomy in public places is as American as apple pie.

"A sex sting by authorities in Johnson County was all for nothing because of a U.S. Supreme Court decision," reported KCTV in Kansas City.

After citizens complained, several men were arrested for soliciting sex in the bathrooms in county parks.

"Charges were dropped on every one of them because of a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision invalidating Kansas's anti-sodomy laws," KCTV said Thursday.

Johnson County D.A. Paul Morrison quivered, "What we plan to do is approach the legislature this next session about amending the lewd and lascivious, indecent exposure statute to include banning sex in public restrooms, whether that be heterosexual or homosexual sex."

Exhibitionists 'Jeopardized'

In highfalutin East Hampton, N.Y., sex on the beach is more than just a cocktail. There's outrage over public sodomy ... but it's being directed against the residents who dared to object to the sight of men having sex and urinating in public.

In an article headlined "Anti-Gay Concerns Addressed," Newsday reported that village officials and homosexual leaders vowed "to meet regularly and address fears that homophobia is jeopardizing a local beach."

East End Gay Organization complained of "intimidation" and "harassment" after five men were arrested for violating laws against public sex and public urination.

"I have a deepening concern that a lot more is going on, not from the police department, but, quite frankly, from homophobic members of the community," fretted Tom Kirdahy, co-chairman of East End Gay Organization.

Police Chief Gerard Larsen emphasized that no one was targeted because of sexual orientation.

Mayor Paul Rickenbach said he invited the only publicly identified member of the homeowners association who objected to public orgies, but the man refused to attend the meeting because, Newsday reported, "he thought he would be laughed at."

SHAWNEE, Kan. -- A sex sting by authorities in Johnson County was all for nothing because of a U.S. Supreme Court decision.

Several men were arrested for soliciting sex in the bathrooms in county parks.

Charges were dropped on every one of them because of a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision invalidating Kansas's anti-sodomy laws.

"What we plan to do is approach the legislature this next session about amending the lewd and lascivious, indecent exposure statute to include banning sex in public rest rooms, whether that be heterosexual or homosexual sex," said Paul Morrison, Johnson County district attorney.

The stings were conducted after several public complaints.
