We also advise against having sex in circumstances where you might be seen by members of the public and cause them offense. “We are urging gay and bisexual men to ‘play safe’: have fun but protect yourself and your partners by following the COVID lockdown rules. “The police have made it clear to us that they do not proactively patrol the Heath, but only act in response to public complaints,” Peter Tatchell, the group’s director, said in a statement.
