And now I’ve heard it all.
An American Thinker column reports that a speaker before the Los Angeles City Council proposed a taxpayer-funded pilot program offering “sexual relief” facilities primarily for homeless people. According to the article, the speaker described the concept as providing hygienic spaces for masturbation and, where consensual and appropriate, sexual activity with a partner under professional oversight. The proposal was framed as an issue of equality and privacy for unhoused residents.
The column reacts with criticism, arguing that Los Angeles already spends heavily on services for homeless residents while struggling with homelessness and budget pressures. Writer Monica Showalter contends that additional accommodations risk enabling homelessness rather than addressing addiction, mental illness, employment and rehabilitation. She also speculates that nonprofit organizations could view such programs as another source of government funding.
One important distinction: the article documents an individual making this proposal before the City Council; it does not establish that the council adopted, funded or formally endorsed the idea. The controversy therefore concerns both the substance of the public proposal and the political question of how far municipal government should go in providing services to homeless populations. Critics see absurdity and misplaced priorities; supporters would presumably frame it as harm reduction. (americanthinker.com)

They already get free tents and teeth, why not a place to do the dirty, too?
Little River Band’s “My Lady and Me,” performed at Adelaide Festival Theatre in 1977, captures the group at an early peak: polished, melodic and unmistakably Australian. Written by Graeham Goble and first released in 1975, the song blends soft rock, harmony-rich vocals and a restless romantic lyric about love, travel and uncertainty. The live performance adds warmth and immediacy, with the band’s musicianship already fully formed. It is a beautiful snapshot of LRB before international superstardom arrived in full force.
