Park cruising is an outlet for guys — whether they're racialized, closeted, religious, married, or none of the above - and we need to recognize that. In such circum-stances, parks are often one of the few release points for pent-up desire. Providing such a release is a social good, one we should be wary of trying to deny to men who, for whatever reason, don't feel comfortable interacting with other aspects of queer life.
