Plans to clear undergrowth from gay sex spot branded discriminatory

A council has been accused of discriminating against homosexuals over plans to clear undergrowth from a notorious gay cruising spot.

Work on the Downs beauty spot has been temporarily stopped while talks with gay rights groups take place
Bristol City Council wants to prune bushes and remove cover from an area known as the Downs to improve the landscape and encourage rare wildlife.

But its own gay rights group has opposed the move, claiming that cutting back the bushes was "discriminating" to homosexual men who used the area for late night outdoor sex known as dogging.

Work on the beauty spot has been temporarily delayed while talks with gay rights groups take place to try and break the deadlock.

Doesn't dogging involve a sex act in a public space which is, I think, a criminal offence?

If so, shouldn't they just keep a little shtum about it?

[Tas]

weird. why should one group get complete rights over a public area that all the non doggers use as well? isn't that discriminatory to the non doggers who don't bend over in the bushes?

And what about the rights of those poor dogs?

[Tas]

hmmm trying to decide if the dogs are for or against before I pick which direction to get indignent in.

I think only the gay contingent are fully behind the issue

You can always give them a helping hand

I always though people had to go through the back door when it came to these kinds of issues.

I guess only for those who don't believe that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

[Burbage]

Prune the bushes! Prune the bushes!

Bet they don't have this problem in Brazil..
