(USA) - Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jim Naugle took another swipe at gays Tuesday, attacking a request that the Stonewall gay and lesbian book archive be housed on city property. The tiff over the adult book collection brought to City Hall a war that started last week between Naugle and gays in the city. Naugle's comments about gays, published last week in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, touched off a fierce controversy. Naugle was quoted saying he uses the term "homosexual" because gay people are "unhappy." He also said one reason he likes the city's recent proposal for a single-occupancy robotic toilet, which cleans itself and offers security features such as a time limit, is that it would help prevent men having sex with each other there, which he said is a problem in other public restrooms.
