Homophobic posters banning gay dogging plastered on trees around popular sites for outdoor sex
HOMOPHOBIC posters which 'ban gay sex' have been plastered on trees at a popular dogging hotspot.
The notices appeared at Ockham Common near Wisley, Surrey, and are styled on the official posters issued by park rangers.
The laminated sheets show a silhouetted image of two men with the words "no buggery" in bold beneath and contains translated terms for offensive gay slang such as 'a*** bandit'.
The poster, which also includes the Wildlife Trust logo, advises: "Gentlemen, if you really can't find love in a specialist establishment or online, please clear up after yourselves."

Local dog walkers have been baffled by the posters and say they hope it is a joke.
Grace House, a local dog walker, said: "At first I thought it was a joke - which it might be - but it has the Wildlife Trusts logo on it and the sign is the same design as other signs on the common asking dog walkers to pick up their dog poo.
"So it seems like quite a lot of effort for someone to go to just for a joke.
"I could understand if it was in a more prominent place like Richmond Park but to go to such extreme lengths just to put a joke sign on a small common like Ockham seems strange."
The local Wildlife Trust have branded the offensive posters "inappropriate".
A spokeswoman for the Surrey Wildlife Trust, which manages the site, said: "Obviously these posters are very inappropriate and have used the logo of The Wildlife Trusts without permission.
"We have asked our rangers on the site to remove them as soon as possible."
The Common is a popular site for dogging - having sex in public while other people watch.
The practice is widespread with hotspots including woodland and car parks - and Yorkshire is the UK's top county for dogging, boasting 271 locations where people park up and romp in their cars.
