It seems that folks in Johnson City, Tennessee are not as evolved as those in San Francisco. 40 men in the past two weeks have been arrested in a public park for various acts of self expression. Local residents complained to police that the park was being used for homosexual hookups. Police then launched a sting operation near what was known unofficially as "the Man Cave." If this had been San Francisco, local officials and the Miller Brewing Company would have sponsored the spelunking. Instead, the local paper even went so far as to print pictures of the alleged perpetrators.
Public parks are for everyone. People have a right to express themselves no matter what their sexual proclivities may be. Were these men unfairly singled out compared to others who may have gone "parking"? If it is OK to read second graders a fairy tale about two princes falling in love, http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,298307,00.html why can't they witness it firsthand at the Man Cave? They could see the same thing at the Folsom Street Fair with the blessing of the City of San Francisco. In fact, it might even constitute a field trip for school children from the Bay Area.
It will be interesting to see how this unfair targeting of men with needs is handled. I think there is an ACLU chapter somewhere in Tenessee.

"Nature Outing" . . .
Did you say, "the man cave" ? ? ?
I quit reading at that point.
I didn't want to "go there".
I didn't even want to think about it! I just wanted to sit on my "man cave" and forget about what is happening in Johnson City, TN.
(JOHNSON City? Is that the real name of the place? If so, . . . what can you expect?)
