In one of the boldest, most refreshing approaches we’ve seen from authorities in quite a while, councillors in the Netherlands have just legalised a gay beat in one of Amsterdam’s best known parks.

The rose garden at Amsterdam’s Vondelpark has been a notorious cruising ground for years, but instead of outlawing what goes on there, authorities have decided to impose a set of rules instead.

“Why should we try to impose something that is actually impossible to impose, which also causes little bother for others and for a certain group actually means much pleasure?”, Alderman Paul van Grieken told The Telegraph.

“Condoms must always be cleared away, it must never take place in the neighbourhood of children’s playgrounds and the sex must be restricted to the evening and night-time,” he added. He also stressed the importance of tolerance, hoping that violence wouldn’t be perpetrated against the men who visited there.

Even the Dutch police are onboard, and they’re urging all the other Dutch parks to follow suit. Funnily enough, now it’s legal to have beat sex in the park, but you can’t let your dog off the leash.
