Double standard in Manhattan Beachgate restroom sting?

LA Daily News: 8 men arrested for suspected sex in Manhattan Beach restroom

When I read this about a week or so ago, it made me sick. I felt then like I did as a young teenager in Wisconsin when I’d read the names of men caught in park restrooms, subsequently published for all to see in the Milwaukee Journal.

In the 60s – 70s, having something like that done to you really would literally ruin your life – you’d easily lose your job, your family, your friends — everything.

Let’s just take a deep breath and realize a couple of things: 1) these men haven’t been convicted of anything. 2) If they were having public sex, which is a crime, it is a victimless one, often involving police entrapment. 3) If these were man/woman couples having public sex (say, on the beach or in a car, etc.) do you think we’d be seeing their pictures in mug shots in the newspaper? No, I don’t think so, either.

I don’t condone public sex. People of any persuasion should be discreet about that, for many reasons. But the overreaction of this Manhattan Beach Police Department and the media involved in publicizing these arrests smacks clearly of a same-sex double standard. Another question the residents of that town might ask is if this is the best use for the money they’re spending on police protection.

As one man in the story says, “you’ve completely ruined my life.” He’s right. My dream would be they get all charges dropped then sue the Manhattan Beach Police so that little homophobic community by the sea goes bankrupt.

But, the actual act of exercise helps, too. viagra 50 mg seanamic.com Sexually active men use viagra canada overnight thinking it might boost their sexual performance plus some also believed this medication to cause a growth in the measurements of 20mg, 40mg and 60mg.

Cream, pill or capsules, levitra 40 mg why not try these out they all act as libido enhancer.

Just 2 defendants remain in Warm Sands Sex Sting Case

the offensive parking lot where the "cruising" took place.

I’ve been under the weather a bit, and slightly behind because of working in L.A. this week. But I saw this in the Desert Sun this morning, so good reason to link to it here.

I’m happy to see that this entrapment case is largely going away after two years. For me, a huge takeaway from this is that sometimes – even though our enemies may be many and strong – it really does pay to make a stand for what is right and just. In this case, it was rampant institutionalized homophobia in the local police force and in the former (now unelected) Riverside County District Attorney. It’s nice to see the bad guys lose on occasion.

Now, it appears these unfortunate men caught up in this ridiculous entrapment sting can hopefully get on with their lives.

11 of 14 men take plea bargains in Warm Sands sex sting

the offensive parking lot.

Well, finally, this is mostly over (the Warm Sands Sex Sting) for those men “allegedly” entrapped and busted over in Warm Sands for exposing themselves.

I took this photo of the offending parking lot this morning on the way back from yoga. At least this morning, no one was hiding behind one of the bushes or the palm trees waiting for a homo to walk by.

If cialis cipla 20mg cGMP enzyme becomes effective in the body, it does not harm or have any adverse effect.

Smoking can also wreck one’s sexual health leading levitra 100mg pills to poor performance, unhealthy erections and loss of sexual desires. It is a pharmaceutical production of Ajanta free viagra consultation pharmacy and is obtainable through any authorized medical store. I think it’s so disingenuous for anyone to think that gays weren’t specifically targeted for this sting by the Palm Springs Police Department. A judge disagrees with me. Well, big surprise there!

Give me a f**king break. We live in a town where straight prostitutes hang out on bus benches and take their johns to side streets for in-car blowjobs. Where is the crackdown on that, PSPD?

We live in a town where there’s a water park with frequent and ongoing reports of public, straight groping and sex! Shocking! Where is the crackdown on those lusty teenagers, PSPD?

Thought so. You don’t care. You only cared about a few gay men at a well-established gay cruising spot doing nothing that offended anyone (there were never any complaints – NO ONE ever goes there other than gay men) EXCEPT the officers of the PSPD. Well, we know what happened: after hearing about the Sting, the community became outraged and eventually, the police chief had to resign.

Dominquez did the right thing. I can only hope that eventually the PSPD hires enough gay-friendly officers to put the bad feelings behind, though I suspect the mistrust will now continue for years. Not that the gay community is any stranger to police discord…

After threats, no evidence of gay boycott of Palm Springs

Desert Sun story: After threats, no evidence of gay boycott of Palm Springs.

from PS Pride 2010

I’m certainly relieved to know that gay tourists and others won’t boycott PS as a result of the ill-advised Warm Sands Sex Sting in 2009.

The Sting, in which the Palm Springs police allegedly used entrapment techniques to lure gay men into exposing themselves in the gay resort-heavy Warm Sands area, has become a lightning rod (pun intended) for selective enforcement issues – for example, it seems gay men have been selectively targeted for this kind of sting even though the majority straight population has never been targeted for their own anecdotally documented public sex habits.

This Sting became so much of an issue that Palm Springs Police Chief Dominquez was forced to resign. IMHO, he did the right thing. Hopefully, eventually, all charges will be dropped against the men involved in this alleged entrapment and Palm Springs will find a police force that works in concert with the public they are sworn to protect and serve.
