Getting straight on the law

Once in a while, somebody comes up with something we've never thought about. You'd heard of the crime of "driving while black." But what about "sitting on a park bench while gay"?

I realize that some fools men still have sex in parks, and I realize that there are pedophiles in the world — but are the women of America so afraid that the mere sight of two men in a park makes them call the police?

I guess MEN just aren't supposed to be in "public" parks anymore. (And this is when the Libertarian in me comes out — if you don't want me going to a so-called public park, then I'd appreciate it if you quit taking money from MY tax dollars to support them.)

If all you're doing is sitting on the park bench, nobody would know your orientation.

this sounds like a couple of homophobic women who probably think all gays are child molesters. No offense, but most of the child molesters are heterosexual men. They should have charged the women for falsely reporting a crime.
