I'm in San Francisco so obviously this and any other topic regarding gays is headline news here. What I've noticed is that in last 25 years or so "tolerance" has morphed into encouragement. It's one thing to have a live and let live attitude but when what is essentially a deviant lifestyle is celebrated and foisted upon those who choose not to participate it crosses a line. Just because I don't subscribe to that lifestyle nor go out of my way to promote it for some reason I'm a hateful person?

Anyway by the looks of things I think that the LGBT community will soon be regretting becoming part of the mainstream. They had their yearly parade a couple of weeks ago and it has become a magnate for the hip hop thug crowd. There was even a shooting. It's just become another excuse to derink, smoke dope and throw around your gang signs ... unless all these gang bangers are on the downlow.
