Lauderdale certainly has a large and quite out gay population. (A gay friend of mine has charged me with taking his ashes, mixed with his lover's, to Lauderdale to scatter near Los Olas (I think it's Los Olas - I'd better confirm) where they had memorable Florida vacations... tho it looks like he has a good chance of outliving me and had better get someone else lined up in case...[I'm getting on, but he is HIV, so it's a race to the grave...BUT I'm in perfect health, and he runs marathons despite 15+ years since his diagnosis...so no real odds either way.) But no matter how many gay, there are faaaaar more straight, and many of them very straight old retirees with rather fossilized outlook...
I'd be a little leery of public toilets that popped open after a certain shortish period of time. There are occasions when one gets legitimately stuck to the seat for an undue length... Hey, sounds like a possible topic for Gene's chat! Alas I am away today and can't participate. Tho could submit ahead of time... Nah, in a rush to get out the door and it sounds like a natural for someone among his regular readers to lob to him... Too bad the mayor doesn't have a good aptonym... Ellen said - I kind of wonder how he got elected in Ft. Lauderdale. Doesn't seem to be a big hit with his constituents. I live in the gay area of Chicago. I feel like a minority as a heterosexual person. If someone like him moved to my neighborhood without knowing the demographics they would be surprised. I don't see that many actual gay couples, but every business establishment seems to assume that everyone is gay. The bookstores, libraries, live theatres, clothing stores, restaurants, you name it. Every free newspaper is the alternative something or other. I've never been anywhere where homosexuality was such a front-and-center topic. I believe Dupont Circle is the gay area of DC, but it's NOTHING compared to boystown in Chicago. Gays are much more under the radar in Dupont Circle, except for maybe a bookstore here and there. --- In [email protected], Eleanor Keyser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >http://tinyurl.com/33pxvc > _________________________________________________________________ Tell us your tech love story in the Summer Lovin Competition for your chance to win laptop loaded with Windows Vista, Office 2007 and Windows Live OneCare. http://www.microsoft.com/canada/home/contests/summerlovin/default.aspx
