#3 : To be fair, arresting people for having sex in public toilets is perfectly reasonable. Gays can get a room just like anybody else.

Good to see this work taking place depite all the competing preasures and priorities the police have. It's disapointing that no matter waht is done some people will think either the gay community don't need the support eveyone else takes for granted or what ever the police do they can't be trusted.

Tthe police seem, as the government say, to be caught between a Northern Rock and a hard disk.

..............'The DVD was made after Queen Margaret University found that the gay community was not aware of police diversity in Edinburgh.'


Ehhh????

So never mind concentrating on real issues affecting Edinburgh residents i.e., crime, underage drinking,vandalism, graffitti etc.

I suppose the DVD can be collected from Gayfield Square Police station?

PS Chief Constable, did your missus ever get her purse back?

There surely can't be that many non-breeders in Edinburgh are there? There certainly can't be too many "transgender individuals"! what a complete waste of money, how about dealing with crime instead?

#10 Gorgie-Tony "I am subjected to it everyday from school children."

Why do they pick on you every day?

What have you done to attract their attention?

I take it you don't go mincing along Gorgie Road in flamboyant clothing?

#5- Gorgie Tony " ... and breeders"

Using terms like that in a derisive manner isn't helpful to the gay community.

Bear in mind that you wouldn't be here if it wasn't for a couple of "breeders".

"To be fair, arresting people for having sex in public toilets is perfectly reasonable. Gays can get a room just like anybody else."

OK, I've treid to educate you about this before on these forums, and maybe tomorrow I'll just hit you over the head in the pub till you get it memorised:

Cottaging: Gay sex in toilets, carparks and wooded areas.
Dogging: Heterosexual equivelent, usually in carparks.

Googlebattle with the two terms produces:
cottaging 113,000 hits
dogging 2,060,000 hits

Looks like everyone else as you put it is having fun, but you're not invited.

Isn't this practice illegal in some countries in the caribbean and parts of africa and you risk the death sentence if found out.
