\n YORK (AP) – Two gay lovers – a man in a black dress and a boy in only
\n a pair of shorts – protested their families’ lack of understanding for
\n their relationship by climbing a Central Park tree on Thursday, stripping,
\n performing lewd acts in front of onlookers and refusing to come down
\n for hours.<\/p>\n
The lovers, ages 32 and 17, scaled the 55-foot larch tree next to the Chess and
\nCheckers House around 4 p.m., said Detective John Sweeney, a police department
\nspokesman.<\/p>\n
The couple had told the boy’s parents about their relationship and been
\n rebuked, police said.<\/p>\n
The man played on branches near the top of the tree and waved at onlookers while
\nthe boy sat quietly a few feet below him. Police said the man later performed
\noral sex on the boy and stripped down to a thong to taunt them. <\/p>\n
Police were alerted
\nto the mischief when an onlooker flagged down a bicycle officer. When Emergency
\nServices Unit officers responded, "the two individuals began to shout obscenities
\nto the approaching officers, threatening to push the officers down and throw
\nbranches at them in an effort to ward the officers off," police Inspector
\nWilliam Callahan said.\n <\/p>\n
