BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Reuters) - Gay tango classes and same-sex unions may not be mentioned in every guidebook, but such attractions are turning Buenos Aires into a new South American mecca for gay travelers.

Picture in your mind the City of "Mecca" with all sorts of muslims, fanatics and moderates all praying vigilantly. Now imagine a "gay mecca" (as the headline states). Ahh Reuters..... I read the headline of this article and almost fell out of my chair laughing at the irony.

Thats a shame, BA is a beautiful city..

[Odyssey-x]

Maybe Reuters means that if you are a gay muslim you have to visit Buenos Aires once in your life.

,,, they're all beautiful cities.

All the scantily-clad South American hotties on the beaches down there, and they're talking about the place being a Mecca for gay culture. Sheesh. It's like a vegan hanging out in the middle of a butcher shop.

You are right... it is a beautiful city. I am crushed that it is being twisted like this.

It's "normal". They are just like you and me ...

Yes they could bend over and face the East and be driven home.

OK, that's Momma-T, no problem. But what's that thing next to her?

Looks like Barney Franks ex to me, I could be wrong ?

Never said being gay was logical.

Buenos Aires is hetero enough to be able to handle the gay element. I find that generally its the folks who are not secure in their sexuality are the ones who are the most anti-gay.

Anyways, Buenos Aires has the best steaks and beef in general in the world. Bar None.

BS, some people become physically ill when they see a homo sex act.

Great movie, 15 years old or so, called Apartment Zero, is appropriate to this subject.

"BS, some people become physically ill when they see a homo sex act"

Well then, according to J.W. they must be closet gays. Of course if you DON'T get physically ill watching that kind of stuff, I guess you must just be gay.

........not that there's anything wrong with that.

[John Lenin]

That was my reaction when I accidentally walked in on something I didn't want to see.

BS, some people become physically ill when they see a homo sex act.

Which leads to the inevitable question: why do you watch homosexuals have sex?
