Yes society has, by excluding homosexual oriented people from leading normal relationship oriented lives by not recognizing and celebrating those relationships, by not allowing them to marry. So they have to hide what they are from their family, their coworkers, their friends and seek the quick fix, be it at the park or one of those masturbatoriums and then they return to their lives of deception and pretending to be what they are not. No ... marriage might not stop the behavior but at least then you would have a moral leg to stand on in your condemnation of the behavior because then there is a viable option available. When you treat homosexual and heterosexual relationships on an equal basis then you can apply societies moral standards to this behavior ... until then I hope you enjoy your taxes going up for the increased police presence at the park, because it will not stop it from happening and only increase the behavior taking place at the park, because now the word is out and they will be pouring in from all the surrounding counties. As I have been told this activity happens mostly at night and you would not see it if you were not specifically looking for it ... like sitting in a tree with binoculars ... perhaps night vision . To be fair I think the local cops should crack down on the heterosexual couples who go to the park to have quickie sex in their cars .... but fat chance of that happening anytime soon.

Anyway it is a recreational park ... why not have recreational sex in it

According to your logic there aren't any heterosexual couples having sex in parks because society accept heterosexuality as normal. Wouldn't it be more honest to say there are a lot of horny and out of control people out there?

Yeah because no heterosexuals every get arrested for getting it on in a car. What a maroon.

Yes enlightened one .... how about pin pointing a time period for the last crackdown of rampant heterosexual sexual encounters that has taken place in a public place ... and in what newspaper were their names and addresses published ? ... "Jerk"

No the reasons that homosexually oriented men are having risky public sex are different a lot of it hinges on self worth and acceptance - look at the places for these men have to meet and find a partner ... ie: craigslist, bookstores and public rest rooms. look at the sex negative area we live in, the social norms, the fear of coming out to your friends, family and coworkers only to be castigated for what you feel inside for the person you are. Many will choose to get married to a female, live in the closet and live life on the down low. This activity is a direct result of those societal norms that have been forced on them through the decades it is rooted in much more than being horny and out of control. But there are other reasons this activity takes place at this and many parks ... often Gay teenagers too young to go to the bars will meet in these locations and those who have lived beyond their shelf life in the youth worshiping gay community ie: the older Gay male. And those who out of habit, who grew up cruising these places to find encounters .. perhaps the site of their first encounter. Often arresting and prosecuting these behaviors does not stop the person from repeating them.
