Given... But having a relative who's gay and being immersed in gay culture because you're trying to participate in it for yourself are not the same thing. Heterophobes will self-select themselves out of the environment where a straight person might be videotaping a wedding if they don't know for a fact that everyone at the wedding _will_ be gay. Sad but true. I'd ask her about heterophobes, you might be surprised that she's got some stories. But yes, not all environments are the same, so it may be that the mainstream gay culture in that area doesn't really have heterophobes. I would find that surprising, but certainly not impossible. s. isaac dealey 434.293.6201 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:200155 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
