Jul 09, 2007 Quickie Link: Lauderdale Mayor Target of Toilet Paper Drive
By vanrozenheim

(USA) - Gay activists in Florida have launched a campaign to deluge Fort Lauderdale Jim Naugle with toilet paper to mock his comments about gay sex in public bathrooms. ''We are encouraging people to mail either a roll or several sheets of toilet paper to the mayor at City Hall to help him to wipe his dirty mind clean,'' said Brian Winfield, spokesperson for Equality Florida. The bathroom brouhaha started after Naugle's comments in a July 4 article in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel about the city's plan to buy a $250,000 self-cleaning robotic toilet for beachgoers. The high-tech commode could be programmed with a time limit, after which the door would fly open. In the article, Naugle was quoted as saying the toilet could prevent ''homosexual activity'' that has occurred at other public restrooms.
