Well I am assuming this letter was written by a lesbian, judging from her statements. You know she must not have read the whole article, especially about the "parking" areas and sex that happens there between str8 couples, which is not harassed at all. I know about str8 couples who go back into the forest for sex and they are never bothered. Or did she get the sarcasm noting that families and kids are not in the park at all late night. Or the fact that guys don't do their thing right out in the open. I was a victim of entrapment myself so I know this process well. These undercover cops go out of their way to search out guys back in the bushes to "be offended" by, so they can make an easy arrest (a lot easier than say a crackhead user, dealer, or gun- wielding gang member). Some places have laws in which if no one is "offended," you can do whatever in private places. One I know of is in the Hamptons beach. The deceitfulness of the whole entrapment procedure itself should be outlawed. I can tell you cases where the cop actually made the first move and exposed himself first, but in court that's who they will believe regardless. And another truth is that the majority of these park cruisers are not "trolls" but godlooking younger guys. That is definitely the case where I live. Let's not be so prudish as to condemn youthful urges and a love of outdoor sex in gay guys (in which the partners try to be discrete), and not forget the str8 couples who willingly do the same thing. This country is in general less tolerant of public sex than any place in Europe, in which a few countries have actual designated cruise parks where guys can be themselves outdoors. Would that be such a bad idea here? Designate certain parks as "cruise" parks and declare the others off limits to sexual activity? But it might put a lot of vice cops out of a job. Oh well.
