Hmm, this is quite a follow-up to a summer story about men cruising certain subway stations for sex: An undercover cop broke up what the Post delightedly calls a "group grope orgy" at the Jay Street-Borough Hall station in Brooklyn. The Post also enjoys mentioning that the "six men outside the men's room coming and going in two- to three-minute intervals" were doing this "right below NYC Transit headquarters." Words escape us. At least two men were charged with public lewdness and indecent exposure. Is Jay Street really "Gay" Street? When the Daily News wrote about it, the main hypothesis was that dingy Bronx stations were hotbeds for hookups. Maybe it's like we learned in our gay studies cinema class - once you look for homosexuality, you start seeing it everywhere! Hello, Time Warner Center bathrooms!
And speaking of subway bathrooms and gay - what about the Warriors?





wait, the cop was undercover? like pretending to be part of the groping group?
Urban public bathrooms are the new truck stops.
It is sad because this sort of act is what gets homosexuals viewed as dirty sex addticts. The media is a funny thing though, I am sure there are alot of hertrosexual people doing the same thing. Yet it doesn't seem to ake the paper.
There are bathrooms available to the public at Jay Street? Who knew?!
gay studies cinema class? Please tell me you're joking. Did you watch a Bunch of Gay Cowboys Eating Pudding?
I had no idea there was a public bathroom there. What other subway stations have bathrooms?
Good idea - I'll try to look into where public bathrooms are. There are certainly ones at Times Square.
And my gay cinema studies class was awesome! Here's a partial syllabus:
Laura
Rope
The Conformist
Cruising
In a Year of 13 Moons
Pink Flamingos
Uh-oh, don't go there with the Warriors, because you do not know to whom which you are dealing with. This is your last warning, as this is for as real as for it gets! We are the ultimate in biker gangs that love leather vested shirtless teen movies.
sounds like choire is back from his long island hiatus.
I have never encountered or heard of a heterosexual grope fest in a public bathroom, but one can always hope.
When underground gay bathroom orgy sex is outlawed, only outlaws will have underground gay bathroom orgy sex.
Hopefully the fags have found refuge in the underground and now they'll stay the hell out of the steamrooms at my gym.
I am not sure if this is still the case...but my college bathroom used to be a gay sex hotspot. The school newspaper discovered that it was because the bathroom was advertised on cruisingforsex.com. I wouldn't be surprised if the Jay street bathroom is up on there...
The only shocking thing about this is the working bathrooms in the subway.
Gay sex or not, there's no way I'd go to a public restroom in a subway station.
By the way, the Conformist is the best movie ever. Too bad nobody's released it on DVD.
Didn't Gothamist post something last week wondering why NYC had a high rate of AIDS? Here's your answer. Let's hear someone blame this on a lack of "education".
There are publicly accessible bathrooms in the subway? Let alone Jay Street?
makes me wonder if that's why there's a public bathroom at the Main Street - Flushing station...
