Scrub clearance work delayed following complaints from the gay community

[Alastair 12]

This is a remarkable story -

 

Scrub clearance work on the Downs area of Bristol has been delayed because of complaints from gay men who use the area for sex, the city council said. The authority is concerned it could be accused of discrimination after a warning from its own lesbian, gay and bisexual advisory group. It has suspended work on the Circular Road above Avon Gorge, which would open up the area to wildlife and visitors.

 

Talks are now being held to try to end the deadlock.

Since when was it a basic human right to have sex in a public park?

.......... work on the Circular Road above Avon Gorge, ..........

 

Now that does sound painful.

 

I'm not surprised they complained!

So what they are basically saying is that sexual deviants and their "choke" rights are now more important than preserving the wildlife and fauna of the country...unbelievable..

Give them an inch......and they want at least 6 more

I think they should make schools easier for paedos to get into, streets should be made darker at nights for rapists and muggers and all doors and windows should be left unlocked for easy ingress/egress of burglars.

 

Free knife sharpening services should be provided for stab-happy teens and texts should be free to allow happy slappers to send images of themselves beating people up more easily.

 

Trust me, that little lot will be along soon.

 

 

Im not saying that its pervy, but,... the bedroom is the place for sex, not under bushes.

 

 

(Unless youre like me)

This is a none issue, the gay community has not opposed this but an advisory group who's job it is to advise the council on these issues. Looks to be nothing more than a bunch of jobsworths with nothing better to do that stir up trouble.

 

Political Correctness gone mad? No, just idiot councillors which is no change from the norm.

See, a perfect example of political correctness coming back to bite its own bum

Bang on! Thats more than likely what it is, idiots trying to give their existance some meaning.

Well yeah, as this is not just aimed at one group, plus lurid acts in a public place could be considered deviant activity in some cases.
