I saw hate and fear still do. having drifted around the preparations for the gay pride parade with a camera did not seem to make me the target of any unreasonable attention. Athough the 80-310 zoom did fetch some ribald comments. Why not warn people about the straight people it what ever trade that might have interest in someone sometimes maybe if ther may be a camera involved. I recall several cases where nice straight serial rapists/killers used a camera to lure victims. You may not see it my way but I do. Maybe your grandson would not be offended by being portrayed as an uncontroled devient that must hit on straight men with cameras but maybe he would be. I do not think there was any need to make any reference to the sexual pref. of your florists or florists in general. Not only was the tone of the peice homophobic and hateful but n my opinion so was the part of you that felt compelled to post it. You may not be what that post represented to me but if I had failed to comment on what I saw/believed you to be saying i certainly could not have been very happy with living with myself.
