The bars want us to party until we drop...and the property owners want the price of their homes to go up.So you end up with a bunch of heavy drinking old timers fondly recalling the days when you picked up tricks in a bar instead of on the net. Before staggering back to their homes and telling the crack urchins sitting on their garden walls to take a hike or they'll call the cops....:) I wouldn't live in one myself although I suppose they can be like sanctuaries for gay people who are just coming out. I just wish we had more gay bands and other radical cool political and artistic expression mixed in with all the usual boring bars. Of course...on a warm July Saturday night in Montreal's gay village... I sometimes forget all that... :)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-85589922802501775072007-12-26T23:33:00.000-05:002007-12-26T23:33:00.000-05:00Hi Waterboy...thanks.

It's depressing..But I was glad to see that this new study backed up the one put out by the HRC last January. So now they KNOW that the problem is real...let's see what they actually DO about it...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-110720558007813212007-12-24T09:37:00.000-05:002007-12-24T09:37:00.000-05:00Simon,o/t - to thank you for all the insightful an...Simon,<BR/><BR/>o/t - to thank you for all the insightful and information posts in the past year.

Any parent who throws their own flesh and blood out in the street are despicable and bear a responsibility to love and support them, not some bigoted church outfit. I would truly love to meet some of those parents and bring them down to the lowlifes they are for their crimes against their own children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
