Take pictures ...
Seriously, gay people in park, therefore we shut it down to mountain bikes**********
Sorry, but the logic there is pretty lacking. This is probably just a pretext for getting mountain bikes out of the park.
Anything that brings MORE people into a park or area, makes that area safer. It makes it less desirable to unseemly activities and people who don't wish to be noticed. Taking pictures might scare some people off. Being seen is one thing, being recorded is another especially of this guys are on the "down low" and don't want their wives (or bosses) to find out.
