but it is what he have to do in the case of public restrooms, unless you think each place should have billions of restrooms, 1 for each individual person.

Warbler is brilliantly hilarious at times. I'm not at all being sarcastic, Warbler. The matter-of-fact statement of absurdity is truly great.

And, I should point out, gay people were around in those simpler times as well.

Technically debatable, as what you and I call "gay" as an identity is a very modern, western concept,

but the point stands that people's sexualities have been all over the place forever.

An important observation. Gay as an identity/community is its own special creation.

I absolutely hate those communal trough-style urinals like you find in sports stadiums.

Sports stadiums use those? Ha! Weird! It seems I have probably never been in a sports stadium.

The only place I have seen those trough-style urinals are in gay bars.

I was at a fancy restaurant in New York. In the bathroom was a wall with water running down it. I didn't see a urinal. I think I saw a man was peeing into the fountain/wall so I followed suit. But the towel guy (perpendicular to me) was staring at me the whole time. Made me wonder if it was in fact a fountain I shouldn't be peeing in. I still wonder.
