Married Men Who Have Gay Sex In Public
• Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual
The image of gay men haunting public restrooms and rest stops is a cliché.
Not that it doesn't happen. Often in the past I suspect it was in many towns and for many gay men the only place they knew of.
And many still seek a moment's anonymous pleasure in parks and similar places because it is convenient or they enjoy the thrill.
For the 21st century closet case - the married gay or bisexual man - on his way home to the wife semipublic venues are the only place he can go to have sex with other men.
"The vast majority of men who come here are married," said one longtime parking lot user, who like the other men interviewed there recently would not tell his name because of concerns ranging from embarrassment to fears of gay-bashing.
"I can't tell you how many guys I've had here who were wearing wedding bands, with baby seats in the car and all kinds of kids' toys on the floor. It's on their way home and they don't have to get involved in a relationship or any gay lifestyle or social circles. They don't even have to buy anyone a drink or be seen in a gay bar. They just tell the wife, 'Honey, I'll be home an hour late tonight.' "
