Like many other topics we "chat" about on here, when two or more separate issues are discussed simultaneously, it gets difficult to follow. There are legitimate, contrasting, differences between those who prefer to live on a golf course and those who would never consider it. However, on the topic of public indecency laws, it should not matter if an individual lives on a golf course, by a walking trail, ball diamond, or tennis count, they fact that a male, or a female, has an incontinence condition should not result in the law being applied by qualitative consideration. Once a society starts down that path, equality of justice takes another blow. If one is excused from public indecency laws (urinating in public) because they are on a public or private golf course, should a tennis player or softball player in a public park then be excused from the law by stepping behind a tree, or even equipment shed, in the park to urinate instead of walking to the restroom facilities ? So, no, in a civilized society we do not accept a variety of excuses for public urination, it's gross, actually destructive to the fiber of a society (even though some would consider it no different than spitting on the sidewalk), and rather done on the side of the road (which we have probably all witnessed) while "pretending" to examine an auto by putting the hood up, it's illegal because it is offensive. At the very least, citizens should have a right not to be exposed to such crude people, but we know some have no sense of decency and probably never will.
