A new class action suit alleges that gay men are being targeted in “lewdness” stings at Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan.

The suit, filed Monday in Manhattan federal court, claims Port Authority police officers engage in discrimination by falsely arresting men perceived as gay at the bus terminal on baseless charges of public lewdness and exposure.

According to the New York Daily News, said officers are entering bathrooms at Port Authority on the look out for men who might be gay. Once spotted, the incognito officers stand beside the men at the urinals and stare at them while they use the restroom.

“In some cases, the officer will actually step back from the urinal in order to see around the privacy wall, in an effort to view the target’s hands and genitals,” said the lawyers in their complaint.

Upon exiting the restroom, the suspects are then arrested by a team of PAPD officers, the lawsuit alleges. One plaintiff told NYDN that the cops had dubbed his arresting officer "the gay whisperer," for his success at making these kinds of arrests.

“The PAPD have continued to make such targeted arrests knowing or believing that most of those arrested will ultimately be forced to plead to lesser charges to avoid public embarrassment and humiliation, costly legal fees, and jail sentences, as well as reputational and professional harm associated with the false charges,” the suit explained.

The suit was filed by Winston & Strawn LLP and the Legal Aid Society. The plaintiffs are seeking an end to the practice, as well as punitive damages.

“The use of police assets and resources in this unconstitutional and unconscionable way is particularly stunning in light of the world in which we live,” said Thomas Patrick Lane, partner with Winston & Strawn.

The Port Authority and Port Authority Police declined to comment.
