I'm at a loss here. How the heck does a "No U-Turn" or "No Cruising" sign prevent gays from doing anything? Were suspected homosexuals chained tot he signs or something?City leaders along with local LGBTQ+ organizations and community members gathered near Griffith Park Boulevard and Hyperion Avenue to take down the last several "No U-Turn" and "No Cruising" signs, which were installed in the '90s when neighbors complained about a gay bar in the area. They were essentially used to prevent people in the gay community from meeting up with other gay people.
Did you read the sentence you posted?

You're at a loss here, yet you quoted the very reason right there in your OP:

That is pretty dumb.You're at a loss here, yet you quoted the very reason right there in your OP:

The signs were not put up for safety. The signs were not put up due to logistical challenges of making U-turns. The signs were put up to satiate a bigoted neighborhood. So they serve no other purpose and should be taken down. Shouldn't have been put up in the first place.
I'm assuming that they chained gays to the signs or something.That is pretty dumb.
How would they stop gay people from meeting gay people???
There is literally a gay bar there!! Where gay people meet gay people.
The gay people would just go in the bar.
They SAID the reason was anti-gay.
I am more inclined to believe it was to stop people from stopping in the middle of the street and u turning all night.

Not sure about where you guys live, but here in the DC metro area there are long boulevards with No U-turn signs at practically every intersection and it's a major PITA if you're going the wrong direction. But in our case it's a legit traffic bandwidth thing.How the heck does a "No U-Turn" sign prevent gays from hooking up?
Is there nowhere you can turn off, turn around in a parking lot or something, and head back the other direction? I mean, seriously, I have NEVER had a "No U-Turn" sign mess my day up so bad that I can't get to the person or place I want to go. Then again, I'm not gay so maybe it's different for gays.Not sure about where you guys live, but here in the DC metro area there are long boulevards with No U-turn signs at practically every intersection and it's a major PITA if you're going the wrong direction.

But stereotypes about roving, hypersexual gay men fed into the criminalization of queer spaces, and the city ordinance that restricted drivers from passing through the same area twice within six hours between midnight to 6 a.m. gave law enforcement excuse to profile and harass people they suspected were looking for sexual partners.
I didn't say it was impossible, I said it was a PITA (pain in the ass). If we have to deal with that because of legitimate traffic issues, fine, but if they're only up to keep a certain class of people from easily accessing where they want to go, that's just plain wrong.Is there nowhere you can turn off, turn around in a parking lot or something, and head back the other direction?

Context! It's very helpful. Thanks.City leaders along with local LGBTQ+ organizations and community members gathered near Griffith Park Boulevard and Hyperion Avenue to take down the last several "No U-Turn" and "No Cruising" signs, which were installed in the '90s when neighbors complained about a gay bar in the area.

@Lutherf I found out why, my advice for this national tragedy is to treat these signs like confederate statues being torn down.
That's liberals for ya. Makes no sense. Anything they don't like is anti-something.

the context was given in the OP... All I did was just copy and paste from the OP himself. He just decided to ignore what he posted and then acted like he didn't read or post it himself.Context! It's very helpful. Thanks.
Police were able to justify stopping vehicles if they broke the law, ie made a U-turn or no "cruising".How the heck does a "No U-Turn" sign prevent gays from hooking up?

JUST WATCH THE VIDEO IT IS ALL EXPLAINED. WOWThe "U" must mean something offensive.
Who knows. It's hard to keep up with what is offensive and what isn't to certain people nowadays.
The other thing you could do is actually read the link, where you would learn that the signs were not put up for traffic flow or safety reasons but purely to inconvenience people driving to a gay bar, and that is why they are now being removed.The "U" must mean something offensive.

OK. The traffic rules, presumably, are for everyone, not just gays.I didn't say it was impossible, I said it was a PITA (pain in the ass). If we have to deal with that because of legitimate traffic issues, fine, but if they're only up to keep a certain class of people from easily accessing where they want to go, that's just plain wrong.
