...San Francisco and Seattle have those qualities. Places like Spokane generally do not.I'd consider that a badge of honor.

""It would help youth struggling with their sexuality to realize they don't have to go away to a big city to be gay. You can be gay right here in Spokane," Reguindin said. "
Wellll, isn't that special.

What
is a "gay oriented home"?
Sounds like segregation and "disenfranchisement(to use the libs bestest new word)" of non-gays.

What is a "gay oriented home"?After I thought for a minute, it probably has only back doors.

Will there be a competition to name this new area?

First, they go out of their way to brand themselves as The Other, then they complain when they are treated as The Other.
Maybe they just like to whine.

nothing like a little queer anti-hetero bigotry in community planning

"Gay Oriented Home" sounds like a building code violation to me.

No front doors, only backdoors.

If homosexuals have any real interest in their own safety and security, they would realize the folly of such a move.
A geographically defined area for homosexuals would be an easy target for those that would do them physical harm...for whatever reason or motivation. I agree with the assesment of opponents to this that it would create a high crime area. This would tax the law enforcement agencies in the area. It is not a wise move - regardless of how one views homosexuality.

I don't know why it's necessary to plant a flag in a particular neighborhood. Just live, like everybody else.

"businesses will be asked to display signs in their windows proclaiming their support for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people." Reminds me of the old (pre-1980) sign that used to hang in the window of Barney's Beanery in West Hollywood: "No dogs or fags allowed." Pressure groups finally forced them to take the sign down, of course, and the whole character of the place was changed shortly after that.

Just live, like everybody else.My opinion is that they feel the more they get in the pubic's face, and the more the public gives them what they want, the more power they gain and the more legitimacy they feel they achieve.

Gay activists in this staid Eastern Washington city are planning to create a neighborhood of gay-oriented homes, businesses and nightlife Fantastic idea. I'm all for establishing as many sodomite magents as possible.... on the other side of the country from me.
