I agree. Establish a "Gay District" with walls 20' tall. Throw them all in and then fill it with water to the 14' level.
Then toss in the sharks and paranas.

Sorry, but I can't pass up an obvious opportunity to joke:
Wouldn't "Pink Light District" be more appopro?

My opinion is that they feel the more they get in the pubic's faceWas that an intended pun?
To: Snardius
Ironically, it's this sort of thing that I think is so alienating.
I have gay friends. I'm not a gay-hater. But to be honest, this makes me feel more territorial and defiant than I otherwise would, and protective of Spokane. We don't need another Seattle in this state. (I'm in Seattle.)

build a big cage around it and call it the zoo (sarcasm)

Take a look at the Keys in FLA. No self respecting parent will even drive through the Keys anymore. The scenery is just too repulsive. Consider what "" members of the creative class consider recreation, culture and ethnic diversity,"" means!!!!!!!
Gay recreation??? and out in the open, on the streets. Not behind closed doors. The most outrageous you can imagine, is probably less outrageous than is actually seen on these streets.

Do you still live in Spokane? I left in 1988 to move to CA, and because of the types of social activities I was involved in, it seemed like the gays were quite a force there back then.

What about the pedophiles who claim their tendencies are in their blood (like gays) and who claim their lifestyle should not be illegal? Will it become difficult to prosecute a pedophile because he is black, gay and disabled? Get my point? How far will government go with this PC crap?
To: Snardius
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.
Absolutely right. Forced acceptance. They force it into our livingrooms via television. Their own sections of town and preferential treatment at businesses is next.
Speaking of TV, I wrote CBS a nasty email, letting them know their entire network is now blocked in our home. Last night was the second time they allowed Joan of Arcadia to be infiltrated by a gay story line. Only this time they had God as a gay man. Last straw for me, and I told them so. It was rude and arrogant! Not to mention anti-Christian, on a family tv program, about Christianity!

They should insist that gays live in ghettos.

I've been in a few that were being built and they all had a bidet.

a "visibility campaign," in which businesses will be asked to display signs in their windows proclaiming their support for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. Are they serious?
Gay customers will be able to leave special cards at businesses they patronize, to let the owners know they were there
Are they serious?
"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,"
ROTFL! They can't be serious!
To: Theresawithanh
I don't think I'll ask what types of social activities you were involved in.
To: HairOfTheDog
ahhhhh but unfortunately for good people like us, they are!!
