It varies by region across the US and to pen the US as regressive on the issue tells me you probably don't have an appreciation for how bad it is in many other countries. Many parts of the country....NO ONE CARES....I certainly don't.

I do find it ironic that it's "Driven underground" when basically the whole point of the thread was guys getting arrested for public sex.

Ewww, I think I stopped there a few weeks ago on vacation.

I will admit, it was a nicer than average welcome station, but I was able to rein in any feelings of amore.

Alas, this is called anecdotal evidence. You offer one example, and draw a sweeping conclusion from that. That is a narrow minded and uninformed opinion. However, it is your opinion, and you're entitled to it.

I don't have anything against gay folks but if anyone touches me in a public restroom, I'm sorry but something bad will happen. I don't like to even shake hands with people. The only person who I will allow to touch me is my wife. I do nothing for the police to even look at me.
I'll talk to and smile and wave at straight folks, gay folks, police folks any folks, ~~~ but no touching please.

I think this thread should have been titled, "6 people arrested for having sex in public restroom" or something along those lines. Doesn't matter, gay or straight....if I'd pulled into that reststop with my boys and walked in on anyone having sex I'd have called the cops on them.

I don't really see why this is even a *gay* story.
