A sleepy section of a public beach in Queensland, Australia has turned into a 24-7 gay cruising spot and locals are “sick of it.”
Residents near Mudjimba Beach on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland say gay men have been meeting for anonymous sex romps “all day”
“Basically what happens is, any given day, all day, there are guys hooking up,” an anonymous source tells the Sunshine Coast Daily. “They’ll walk along, have a signal and disappear into the dunes.”

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“That whole stretch of beach is well known to locals about what happens. They have wore a track right on the edge of the fenceline!”
Oh, the horror!
The source continues, “Knowing you’re on a family beach and people are having sex behind you is just uncomfortable.”
Apparently the men have even created a website to arrange their beachside sex romps meet ups and have even come up with a specific dress code to help identify each other in public.
Beach goers say parking was already an issue in the area and that the increased number of visitors is only adding to the problem.
“It is a serious problem that is really getting out of hand,” the anonymous source says. “This isn’t about gay people or me being homophobic, it is just creepy.”

And we are sick of seeing YOU kiss your loved one goodbye every morning. We are sick of seeing both of you all over each other at the public pool. We are sick of seeing you holding hands as you walk down the street. Get used to it breeders. We have love lives also.

You’re comparing PDA to promiscuous, anonymous sex in public on the beach??? Are you serious? The general public should not have to be witness to any sex in public regardless whether straight or gay. Also, promiscuous gay sex in public areas like beaches, rest areas, restrooms, and the like indicate a lack of self respect. There are too many other options in 2017, in Australia and elsewhere, for opportunities to have sex. Gay people do not have to resort to what limited them in the 20th Century.

They can’t afford a room? I guess the closet is too expensive.

If guys are being obvious – and it’s in daylight it’s totally fair to criticize. Its a public beach after all and straight people can’t have sex in public. So …fair is fair.
pierscik
Wasn’t it in the dunes ?i thought it wS in the dunes ( not exactly in private but out of the public eye) …. and the photo ..? They don’t look as if they’re having sex ? It sounds as if it’s all about parking !!!!
Greg
I can’t tell what’s happening in that photo. Are there two guys in it? I can see legs are up, but not much else.

This is what always bothers me about outdoor/public sex: there are always some very clueless idiots who spoil it for everyone else by being obnoxious. In ALL of these cases, you need to be discrete…if there are children around then all the more reason for the locals to be upset.
AlanZ
If that is someone’s fetish then that’s cool. But like any fetish both partners or everyone needs to be willing participants.
Ummmm Yeah
And when the cops arrest them for committing a crime, most of you will bitch about how the cops are homophobic.
Tête Carrée
Cops ARE homophobic no matter what they’re doing.
AlanZ
Not all cops are homophobic. I have several very dear friends that are cops. Some of them are gay and some are straight. My husband actually works for one police department. In So.Cal. This department makes up nearly half of our friends and family. Five years ago I was diagnosed with MS these officers donated hours to my husband so he could be in the hospital with me for three months. Their children call us uncle. And they all know and love my too mouthy liberal ass.
We need to remember to never use absolutes unless we have 1000% indisputable proof. Not all cops are racist or homophobes, and not all gay men are screaming Queens, even though that seems to be the only ones Reality TV producers, TV producers, movie producers. I’m sure I’ve left a few hundred more people out. Nor do we all know everything about fashion except that we did create good fashionand we can’t all decorate either, my ex is living proof of both.

I cannot believe you are trying to excuse or justify the public sex; it is disgusting and harmful to society. If it were straight people, I would want the perpetrators foiled as well.
It is unhygienic, a misuse of public land, and nuisance to families, and grossly inappropriate to children.
Yes we have private love lives. They should be just THAT— PRIVATE.

It’s gonna take hours to pry your panties out of your butt cheeks after that speech.
KaiserVonScheiss
This is just stupid. There’s nothing wrong with not wanting people to have sex in public, especially on a public beach for FAMILIES.
charlietex
I’m not sure how public it is when the article specifically states that the couples disappear into the sand dunes. By disappear I’m assuming they can’t be seen. If it’s so gross to think about sex going on around you, you should probably never stay in a hotel
AlanZ
What’s more gross isn’t that it is happening it’s when walking home through the sand dunes my kids stepping on used cum rags or seeing a used condom. Hell I don’t want to step on or see that shit.
I know this lagoon in Hawaii it is straight out of Gillian’s island. No one goes there and no one can see anything. Now that is a great place. But the park in town, nit a cool idea.

“an anonymous source” Read uptight chrixtian evangelical homophobe group.
Brian
Or, a regular person who doesn’t want to stumble upon a butt plowing scene while they’re just trying to enjoy the beach.
BriBri
DCGUY would love this beach, he could set up his sling right on the beach.
Knight
LOL!!! yes…”Sybil” could also set up a stand that says “Sycheeatrik advise 5 cents” where he can shout at/berate everyone on the beach who walks by it and isn’t remotely attracted to him.
PinkoOfTheGange
The internet ruins everything.
AlanZ
The internet should be a deterrent to this. I had lots of it, issues you know lol, I have had lots of anonymous sex. It’s not my favorite. Neither is public sex. I would not want my children to see anyone having sex. And if there is even a slightly remote chance for a child or anyone that would be offended there is no need. A friend of sends guys around to the back gate of his 1/2 acre property let’s them in and back in the wilds of his backyard they do their thing. He got the idea after bathhouses started to have outdoor spaces lol.

It’s strange that this story mysteriously props up when Australia finally comes out of its Outback to enter the modern world and recognize gay couples through civil marriage.
Public sex is questionable but gay culture isn’t the place where it started! A lot of western/white cultures in general frown upon it but don’t think it is evil.
Read any British newspaper and it is almost always filled with English heterosexual couples having sex in public and getting caught.
The article is misleading and Queerly as a gay newspaper must take efforts to present the truth of the situation and not fall into the lies that the Australian media is so prone to propel.
I am sure this beach has a straight section where male and female swingers hang out and the hot activities here have been going on since the sexual revolution of the 1960s.
Brian
The difference is, the heterosexual couples who get caught aren’t cruising for anonymous sex with strangers at the same location, day after day after day. Women don’t do that kind of stuff, men do.
charlietex
Brian you need to visit Maspalomas in the Canary Islands if you think women don’t do this. Because they do. It’s just less common
AlanZ
it Still happens in some areas that while a straight couple are fought they are cited and released. The gay coupled are usually arrested.
Juanjo
Brian dear, it is called cottaging in the UK and yes it does involve heterosexual couples going to cruising areas, hooking up and getting it on. People, straight and gay, having sexual trysts on public beaches is so common there is a drink named for the practice. Now I do not think that straight or gay couples should be out on a public beach in front of the kiddies having a go at it but I am less concerned about a couple who slide off behind a sand dune for a quick shag and cuddle.
Brian
Yeah I don’t believe that it happens with any kind of regularity with women. Every city has a gay cruising area or 3. Straight cruising isn’t a thing, even if there are a few women who like to let their freak flag fly.

I think they would damage his reputation but nothing more.
Till now all the accusations are about Singer being a user, but unless they can use something better this sounds like the typical story of young actors/actress that want to make it big very fast and think having sex with someone powerful is the way, but the powerful man never delivers his promises.
There’s no harassment, no violence and no intimidation (it’ll be if the rape alegations can be proved something i really doubt), just someone who had sex for nothing.
Bryan Singer is scum, and i’m pretty sure he used a lot of young boys, but all of them are over the age of consent, so unless there are proves of real abuse the cases will be dismissed.
An expensive lawyer will put the focus on the victims and i doubt they’ll be believable on court
Jaxton
Most of the men do not identify as gay. Therefore, it’s wrong to call them gay.
They are mainly men who want a goof time. They want nothing to fo with the gay identity or silly GLBT politics. They are married to women and don’t want anything to do with gay marriage.
1EqualityUSA
NOM, NOM, NOM; chippin’ away at identity.
Jaxton
Sorry for the typos above.
JayHobeSound
Maybe they could (unofficially?) designate a portion of the beach for the gays?
