The 57 year old man exposed himself to the 11 year old boy because he thought the person in the next stall at Macy's was tapping his foot. Is that some sort of signal to come dance? What a bunch of creepy people we have living around us...

Which ethical or moral issue is this discussing?

I tap my foot while playing guitar in worship service. What are you trying to say?

Huh? Huh?

Mmm hmm. Yeah, that's wat I thought.

Tapping my foot usually means I'm bored.
Do you have some kind of link to some particularly story you want to discuss?

Well, they arrested some guy for showing off his family jewels to a young boy in a Macy's restroom. The guy said that he heard tapping in the next stall and so he got down on his knees and showed off what he had to the person in the next stall, which happened to be a young boy. The kid ran out of the restroom and the rest is another story... Happened just within the last few days ago in Pennsy. They found the guy yesterday.

Is it moral or ethical for homosexuals to display their wares to see what happens next?

I don't know of the story, you're not linking to anything.

I don't think exposing your self to anyone in public is particularly appropriate... straight or gay.

As for this alleged incident.. just how high are the stall walls fromt he floor that getting on his knees allowed him to show the person in the next stall his penis? (guessing that's what you mean by wares?)

When we were kids one time this guy was walking through Tompkins Square Park holding out his penis, my sister kicked him when she noticed. I don't know if he was straight or gay, I'd say he had a bit of an issue with exhibitionism.

Is it moral or ethical for *anybody* do to this? Why target homosexuals?

True. When I was a young teenager, a man exposed himself to my sister and I, and it was quite traumatic for us, being so young. Regardless of the sexes involved, this is very wrong and a violation of a child's innocence.

I wonder if there are other signs that we don't know about for different cultures.

There's been some stories about how hookups come down in Iraq and Iran in the gay press but I forget if they said there were signals or how they're done.
