L.A.’s radical LGBT activists were exultant Monday when city officials removed a group of street signs in the Silver Lake community that the activists called “homophobic” because of why they were originally erected decades ago.
The east-central L.A. community is a hipster’s paradise, certainly, but in the 1990s, local residents were vexed when gays began cruising the area looking for one-night-stands with other gays. They felt the streets had become dangerous because cars were randomly making U-turns in the streets all night long to head back down the street.
So the officials instituted new traffic rules and put up “No U-Turn” signs and other signs warning “No Cruising.”
In response to residents’ complaints about rowdiness, noise, unsafe driving and unsafe behavior, the city council also passed an ordinance restricting drivers from passing through the same area twice within a six-hour period between midnight and 6 a.m.
Gay activists complained that the traffic rules were discriminatory and were meant solely to prevent gays from hooking up, an act that isn’t good for any neighborhood.
Now the signs are officially history. At the removal ceremony, L.A. City Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez even explained away the act of hooking up for one-night stands as just an example of gays looking for “human connection,” according to a report by KCAL-TV.
“Cruising, of course, meant something very different. It meant an opportunity for the LGBT community to try to find human connection and intimacy,” he said at a small gathering to celebrate the removal of the signs.
Well, that doesn’t seem so “very different” at all, does it? Isn’t that just a more flowery description of hook-ups and one-night stands?
