gay sex on subway = human right  in case you missed it, it is a human right to have gay sex in a public subway car. > the ltimo vagns legal status became even more complicated following a conflict in 2011 between the metros authorities and the citys human rights commission. a press report from that year stated that sexual activity on the train has been an open secret since 2004, when guards from the metro collective transportation system began to detect it. the metro announced that it would close the last car of certain train lines during evening hours. officially, authorities claimed that they were taking this action due to a lack of ridership late at night. but the human rights commission received at least three formal complaints accusing the metro of anti-gay discrimination. and a subsequent investigation by the commission found that ridership was not lower at late hours, and that the authorities had clearly intended to shut down the last car in order to curtail gay sex. many station managers and police officers had said aloud what everyone already knew. one cop justified the closure of the last car by saying, there are many gays, and they do their things. another guard described gay sex in the ltimo vagn as a kind of militant invasion: its because of the gays, because they were taking over the facilities. there are even recordings in which oral sex is being practiced. > in its subsequent, nonbinding recommendations, the human rights commission argued that the metro had discriminated against gay people by specifically targeting them, and that the closure of the last car had violated their human rights. the commission recommended that the metro reopen the last car at late hours and mount a publicity campaign to inform the public about lgbtq rights. the commissions recommendations were followed, which gave a quasi-legal sanction to the ltimo vagn.  >   ociety/ultimo-vagon-mexico-city-gay -sex-subway/tnamp/
