I live in the Central Valley of California. A few years ago, Mrs. Othniel and I took our two boys (then 4 and 6) to San Diego. We found a hotel that was fairly centrally located, but not too pricey. Anyway, when we were moving our stuff up to our room, the guy downstairs came out with his hair all pulled back and started putting on makeup. Lotsa makeup.

Turned out it was a Diva-fest, or some such thing, that weekend in San Diego. The place a quite a few "flamers," as well as women who looked like they were from the male division of the pro-wrestling circuit. Questions from the boys ensued: "Why is that man putting on makeup?" My wife and I explained that they were dressing up for a play, or something like that, and they were satisfied. Now, my 10.5 year old brought it up during a discussion of "What does gay mean?", and my wife and I were able to explain to him about how some men don't like women. His response was one of disgust, for which I'm very thankful and proud.
