[Bryn-gwlad] city parks and pavilions

[Ysabeau]

While not technically a danger, coming upon a couple of people (gay,
straight, whatever) going at it in a park might be a bit...shocking to
most and offensive to many (considering the community's increasingly
conservative moral viewpoint), especially if they have kids with them.
Now, when it comes to kids seeing that kind of thing...there is a
whole other issue involved and I don't even want to speculate at how
many books they could throw at them if they really wanted to. I agree
that I don't consider them predators or pedophiles, but it can be just
as much of a nuisance as having hookers working your neighborhood
corner.
