Morons, and the look at me I'm special always make life more difficult for normal people. Do we really need protected classes of people? I thought we were all people and if existing laws were enforced we would be fine. The concept of hate crimes is just the creation of a loop hole around double jeopardy.

And Opel, I imagine Ron does know a gay person, just because you can't see him makes him no less real. I hear you know a Pooka named Harvey.

I have a pooka. What's your point? 😳

Not imaginary by any stretch...………..but it makes no difference what you believe,only what I know is any concern of mine.

But there is a valid point to be made here.Every gay person I have ever met that I did not know immediately they were p*t*r puffers gets bonus points for not wearing there sexuality on their sleeve.I have zero problem with these people.

I agree with the whole "not wearing your sexuality on your sleeve" point of view, for all sexual orientations... Never felt like it was anyone's business and - like vegans - the ones really into talking about it probably aren't as comfortable with their life as they'd like you to think...

so anyone who, for whatever reason, acts flamboyant/theatrical in public should be compelled to stop?
Because it's not how the majority is genetically wired?

that will kill the tourist biz in Provincetown! HA!

If you've never been there, you wouldn't believe how much fun it is, banter hurled back and forth but all is in the spirit of entertainment.
Don't recall any viewers hurling rocks, wielding bats, or shooting the locals. It's like stepping into a musical comedy right on stage.

Never been but have heard Key West has some similar antics happening.

I just figure live and let live, if truly accepted rather than simply tolerated only when behavior is considered acceptable (kept in the closet?), there'd be no need for "Pride Marches" of any kind.

I think both parades are stupid, partly because neither side should feel uncomfortable being who they are.
