A Dutch town is evidently putting cattle in their public parks to discourage the incidence of homosexual sex in them. Really now, it's 2004: do gay guys really need to hang around parks (or rest areas, for that matter) to have anonymous sex? What, are the bathhouses not available? I say this as a gay man who has made out with another guy in a park before. But making out and sex are two different things. And, I hasten to add, I didn't meet him in the park; that's just where we parked after we had dinner -- something of a tradition among straight folks, at least in the movies I've seen.

Maybe they should establish gay cruising sanctuaries.

Yeah, didn't have too much choice on that one.

Thing is, if guys are having sex with no concern of being seen by other humans, why would the cows concern them? Trans-species modesty? Fear of a stampede? Not wanting to slip in manure? I agree with the cow parks being a good idea, although I don't know that it will help.

Maybe the cows are undercover cops?

Ya know, truth is stranger than fiction!

Too bad there weren't cows at Will Rogers State Park back in the mid-90's, cause i'm pretty sure that would have saved George Michael from that terribly embarassing park episode w/the LAPD.

Song: "Outside", George Michael;-)

Although this is a fella who's first big solo hit was "I Want Your Sex." I dunno; I think he started taking himself too seriously around the time he decided he wasn't going to be in his own videos anymore. Whatever happened to the fresh (bare-) faced young George who sang "Wake me up before you go-go?" I miss that.
