Gersiede Dogwalkers have launched a campaign to reclaim Hampstead Heath from gay 'cruisers' who claim that the site is their 'cultural law'.
Signs on the west side of the Noord -London park are placed. Cruising for sex? Homosexuality is legal. Use a Hook Up app such as Grindr or Sniffies and get a room '.
It also had a map of the park with a red circle with the label 'This is not a cruising site'.
The poster encouraged dog walkers and residents to 'walk in the red area' and 'to take back West Heath'.
The term refers to the practice where individuals, often in public spaces, are looking for sexual encounters with others.
Yet this led to protests from homosexuals that claim that it is part of a broader cultural movement and said that the sign 'homophobes'.
Homo -demonstrators are engaged in the area with signs such as 'Take me to the F *** Tree' and 'Leave the puppies free'.
The leader of the gay demonstrators, then Glass, said: “It's homophobic, it says that queer cannot do what legal and rightly theirs is to have public improvements of affection.”

The signs that are placed on the west side of the North Londen park read 'Cruising for Sex? Homosexuality is legal. Use a Hook Up app such as Grindr or Sniffies and get a room '.
Protesters took the streets to protest against what they call 'homophobic' signs
They stood with signs with the text 'This is a cruising site, enjoy it'
Photos that are shared on social media show different men who uncover their soil – while police officers were ready – and reading: “This is a cruising site, enjoy yourself” – while posing by what they call the 'F *** Tree'.
Mr Glass told the Camden New Journal that the demonstration people would run the circumference of the 'no cruising zone' and that 'some people will cruise, have sex and there will be a lot of snogs' in a 'screening of queer love, intimacy and affection'.
He said that practice is a safe way for 'sexual exploration' on social media.
He wrote in one of his posts: 'Cruising has taken place on De Heide since at least the 19th century and continued decriminalization to this day.
'For many it is still a safe space of sexual exploration, nestled in nature, it is a world that exists outside the toxicity of modern apps and sexual categorization. '
He further claimed that 'cruising' has been a 'age -old enlightened reaction to a fascist environment'.
He said: “When intolerance strikes queer culture, it is often an indicator of what will come as everyone outside the boundaries of dominator culture is a threat to maintain the status quo of order, control and power.”
The row is centered on a part of the country in West Heath, of which demonstrators say it is about one hectare that has been used before the activity for years and claims that they must be able to continue using dog walkers and residents can use the other 790 or so as Acres.

Historically, men 'cruise' in the 19th century and 200 years later, it remains one of the most notorious places in Europe. It started as a response to laws for sodomy and indecentry
According to the sexual offenses ACT 2003, sexual activity in public toilets is still a foul, but sex in other public places is not – unless it has been observed whether there is a reasonable chance that members of the public can see what is happening.
If this happens, this can cause people to be accused of exceeding the public decency.
The action itself must have taken place in public and must have been seen by two people or more.
Videos for social media shared by the activist, various protesters talk about why they prefer this activity, instead of following the traditional route to use dating apps.
ONe man said: 'You don't always want to take the trouble to go to an app and meet someone and then look at someone. This is completely immediately. It is completely anonymous.
'Many homosexual men love, for whatever reason, anonymous sex. I never ashamed, I am always proud. '
This has caused indignation among many walkers and residents who say that tradition is outdated because homosexuality is now legal.

One person wrote on social media: 'We would not say that it was good for straight people to chase in public parks, but gay men get a pass because … is it traditional or something? I honestly don't get it.
'A kind of Halo of progressive virtue? Homo sex is not inherently progressive or virtuous, and it is a bit strange to treat it as it is.
'I am actually with the Huffy -Local population on this. Buy a room. '
Another user also shared the opinion of the original message and said: 'I agree with the one who wrote this – Antisocial behavior is anti -social behavior, regardless of history or' culture '.
“Fortunately it is no longer the 1980s and it is not necessary to perpetuate what was once a bit necessary.”
Another user asked what about the sign was homophobic and it was pointed out that it “tried to ban a permitted activity.”
The user replied and said: 'It is because children are exposed to adult men who have sex, and many of them leave their physical liquids behind, as well as needles they used to inject. If this is acting, it is homophobic intentionally stump. '
They added: '[The area of the park] Was discreetly and usually used in the dark as a cruise area and people left nothing behind.
'The problem has been worse in recent years and this is now happening at any time of the day.
“Why should people not take their children to a public park? Do they have to avoid the entire area for fear of encountering these men? '
In the meantime, another said: 'I don't think the sign is homophobic to be honest. It only points to a fact and that sex in public is not cool. '
Celebrities in the past have known that they enjoy the sensation to do it outside and between the forest.
George Michael, the singer, was one of the most famous stars to participate and told the Richard and Judy show in 2006 that it was 'the only place where the police accept it), so it is generally a safe place'.
Lucy Marsh, from the Family Education Trust, said MailOnline: 'Hampstead Heath is a popular public park and a green space that is enjoyed by families, especially those who do not have their own gardens.
'Parents must be able to enjoy a walk or a picnic without worrying that they see gays who have sex in a public place.
'It is not' intolerant 'to believe that people should not do sexual fetishes in public, especially in a park where children are probably present.
'How are we at a point in society where these men think it is acceptable, not just to openly cruise for sex with strangers, but to show their fetishes in the form of a public protest for families?
“We have to reduce the concept of common decency (and shame), because it seems to be missing in those who promote this kind of terrible behavior!”
A spokesperson for the City of London Corporation, who manages the park, as well as Hampstead Heath Constabulary said: 'Hampstead Heath is one of the most cherished green spaces in London. It is a site of metropolitan importance for nature conservation and the home of a rich variety of wildlife and habitats.
'We manage De Heide as a charity and are committed to balancing the preservation, maintaining the access of the public and the safety of all visitors. We want to ensure that it remains a hospitable space for everyone and encourage all visitors to use the Heath respectfully and consider.
“We actively follow a partners -based approach to promote positive behavior and community safety.”
It added: “Officers of the Hampstead Heath Constabulary were present to check the situation, to guarantee public safety and to respond correctly to any behavior that can cause concern for the public.”
MailOnline then approached Glass for comment.
