I really should have said "how they're choosing to enforce it", that sentiment was not clear at all with the OG phrasing...
Its a really rough situation for me to express opinions on, because while I really dislike people fuckin' in public bathrooms, I do understand that hookups in public spaces come primarily from a place of safety (lots of witnesses in case you get jumped) and they can only really exist with that kind of anonymous/incidental social security. This crackdown absolutely has a net negative effect on gay culture and I am certain that this, along with the basic persecution of queers, was a factor when deciding to enforce this.
And at the same time stop fucking in the goddamn bathrooms you will touch the toilet seat and get amtrak hotdog dick rot.
