Gayborhoods?
I just read another article on the Marmalade district of SLC and their effort to define themselves as a "gayborhood." I'm intrigued by the effort to label and carve out districts that are predominantly homosexual. The 'Mos seem to be trying to create their own area in each city where others views aren't tolerated. As someone living in one of the areas they are trying to control, I get really sick of their constant efforts to silence the opinions of others and impose on others lives.

Gays will typically move into marginal neighborhoods, that educated well-off non-gay folks would not move to. They start rehabilitating the neighborhoods and then suddenly the straight people start moving in as well.
Gay neighbors is about as good as you can do in terms of neighbors. If you really hate what has happened then don't be a hypocrite. Donate the increased value of your home when you sell to an anti-gay group. |

that was a fun little generalization. Call me crazy, but my experience is that there are good gay neighbors and bad gay neighbors, just as I've seen with straight neighbors. Not sure why gay neighbors would be any better than straight neighbors or vice versa. funny how that works. Apparently you've had a different experience. One that doesn't seem to make a lot of sense, but who am I to argue with your experience? Assuming that is what you're basing that comment on. |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_village The process is going on in Dallas as gays have moved to an impoverished area in South Dallas, have reinvigorated an art district, etc. |
