Cottaging at the World Trade Center

In the UK it is known as “cottaging“.  In the US the same practice is called Tearoom Trade.  Either way is what we call one of the favorite pastimes of so many many gay men, including George Michael, for cruising for sex in public places.  

Its been going on for more than decades, with the most favored place being public toilets all over the world.  Including it appears the World Trade Center .

Now from Renderer Films comes a new documentary about to screen at SXSW Film Festival and aptly called “Trade Center.”   It is the story of 5 gay men who cruised for sex at the World Trade Center in the 1980s and 1990s  that now haunt the sanitized, commerce-driven landscape that is the newly rebuilt Freedom Tower campus.”
