Sal Torre, president of the Westside Association of Wilton Manors, criticized Rajner, in an article he wrote for The Gazette published on April 6, for wanting the ads removed. The North Carolina law prohibits individuals from using bathrooms that do not match the sex listed on their birth certificate. Later on Twitter, Rajner posted, “Ironic commissioners discuss #restrooms in #NC but ignore #restroom issue in own city park.” Rajner was referring to the ban on city employee travel to North Carolina that the commission unanimously passed on April 12. The bins are privately owned but the city can reject ads if it chooses because they are located on city property.
Rajner said the ads should be removed because children were exposed to them and they were not an appropriate image for the city. Rajner’s call for action comes on the heels of his successful request to have ads for, a gay hookup app, removed from the eco bins. “Its really upsetting that you have to pay to walk past. He also reiterated a request that the city suspend dog park fees until the sex problem is fixed. One mother, he said, had to scream to prevent her son from going into a bathroom while it was being used for sex. Recently, Rajner said multiple children were almost exposed to sexual acts. “I ask that you take some action,” said Rajner at the April 12 commission meeting.įor years, Colohatchee has been known as a place where gay men regularly cruise and engage in sex, both in the park, the parking lot and in the park’s bathroom. Resident Michael Rajner says the male sex problem at Colohatchee Park has reached “a boiling point” and called on the city to do more. Wilton Manors may be following in the footsteps of a recent Miami ruling ( Ads For Gay Hookup App Squirt Pulled In Miami), but they have cited more issues and concerns than Miami. Caught in the crosshairs, and the ads they have around town.
Wilton Manors, Florida, arguably the gayest city in the country, is getting a little tired of public sex in its parks. They desire the great outdoors and even more want the possibility of getting caught. If you want public sex, everyone knows which seedy bar to go to, usually named Raw-"something-or-other." But that's not enough for some.
