Can’t make this stuff up. I would say the bushes have certainly been encouraging wild-life.
I thought I had seen it all. Turns out, I really really don’t want to see it all. This isn’t discrimination, it’s public indecency.
Plans to clear undergrowth from gay sex spot branded discriminatory
Last Updated: 8:22AM BST 08/07/2008A council has been accused of discriminating against homosexuals over plans to clear undergrowth from a notorious gay cruising spot.

The expectation that someone should be sued for what the BIBLE says? Oh please.

This is not a blogpost about gay/lesbian bashing. I just found two articles back to back that were, well, Looney. Different topics from here on out.
