Amsterdam Homomonument (#0109)

Amsterdam Homomonument (#0109)
Though it is not mentioned in the documentation of the memorial, I find it ironic that next to the memorial is a classic public urinal of the type that might have been a cruising site for contact between same-sex active men. I don't recall seeing these sorts of public urinals anywhere else in Amsterdam, so it seems that its location is intentional. I did find a reference, not linked to the memorial, of a gay man having been killed at a public urinal in 1985, just 2 years before the monument opened.
