Any info or stories about etiquette and risk mitigation would be of interest.

(A) Gay bashers display such notes in request to beat up those who show up

Let&#;s Examine the Phenomenon of Cruising Bathrooms Through 4 Famous Queer Men
Throughout history and for a variety of reasons, queer men have looked to public bathrooms as places to get laid. Some men enjoy cruising public restrooms because they’re turned on by the exhibitionism and the possibility of getting caught, while others see it as a place to anonymously and discretely have a same-sex encounter in times when being outed as queer carries severe social, political and legal consequences.
Cruising public restrooms has grow an ingrained part of queer history, with mixed feelings surrounding it. On one hand, it’s considered so seedy, sexy and transgressive that “toilet tramp” hookup scenes have turn into a common scenario in gay porn (and even inspired drawings of same-sex attracted erotic illustrator Tom of Finland).
