You are ridiculous! Let me reiterate for you in case you didn't comprehend it the first time - some people go around looking for casual sexual hookups, but that behavior is NOT limited to gay men. Some gay men go cruising, but so do some straight men. Have you never heard of pick up bars? You can try to convince yourself otherwise all you want. And to claim that I wouldn't know just because I'm a woman only serves to show the level of ignorance you're working with. I can't even take someone seriously who actually uses the phrase "a gay."

Consider, that from I have read and LEO's I've talked to if an opposite sex intentionally uses another gender's restroom they can be charged with disorderly conduct. I've heard it a charge that typically sticks.

Now, I assume the entire premise of this approach is that the vast majority of people are heterosexual and the private/confined environment of a restroom is a place that could lead to people 'acting out' on sexual impulse (ridiculous theory if it is indeed the original logic) and by keeping them separate the chance for this impulse or voyeurism is nullified.

So, in 2013 we have homosexuality tolerance been force fed down everyone's throat from every angle. With the increase in acceptance, rise of known gays and lesbians amongst us should we continue the logic and create new bathrooms for lesbian/gays?

Curious to the thoughts?
1. You're obviously trolling. Don't think you are fooling anyone with this crap.

2. Men and women are still men and women regardless of their sexual orientation. People go to the bathroom based on their sex in order to relieve their bodies of waste as quickly and discretely as possible and then get the hell out. Notice that in no way is sexual preference or activity at all a required part of the formula, so your question is mightily dumb.

3. Grow up.

I hate gender-neutral bathrooms. Men's bathrooms stink of pee - they're worse a litter box. Why would I want to go into a nasty bathroom where men go? Don't we women endure enough by having to clean walls and floors of the toilet?

Hey, you're the one that thinks you need your own flag! I was always under the impression that the American flag stood for everyone in the U.S.A.. But nope....you need your own flag.
And what's with all the posts about "looking for a gay friendly place"? Why can't the gays all live where everyone else does and be happy?
You separate yourselves and you do it intentionally, as though you are different from others. Behave that way, get treated that way.
I don't give a crap if you're gay, lesbian, black or do sheep. Just can it! The flag is for all! (Except the illegals.)

Huh. So this is an idea you think would appeal to men? Going into a public restroom and watching little girls and old ladies pee? Maybe even rape them?

You have some very strange compulsive thoughts. *shudder*

Let's not put words in my mouth. I don't think gay people sharing bathrooms with people of the same sex is a problem for anyone but homophobes. Period.

Um... you realize each state has its own flag, too? Gee. Why do people from different states "separate themselves intentionally" with their own flags when they have the American flag to symbolize everyone in the US?

& if you have never had to look for a "friendly place" to live/hang out, consider yourself privileged. Not all people are so lucky.

Oh! I see!
Well now I am wondering....where is the African American flag and the Latino flag....and all the rest of the flags? Geez, we'll have to extend the pole 80 feet.
Hey! I have an idea! Let's just have the American flag just be there for everyone! What a novel idea!

There is also the christian flag, and different organizations have their own flags.
