This is a martian neighborhood. Too bad if more venusians move in and it goes downhill.

Scary. Two wrongs don't make a right.

I'm not sure what he was saying, but perhaps you're judging him harshly. <br /> <br /> The Boyfriend and I used to make frequent trips into DC as he used to live there (in the very gayest part of town) and so we could always crash at one of his friends houses meaning no need to pay for a hotel room. While we were there we could actually walk around holding hands without being in danger of being verbally or physically assaulted (we can't do that were we live, AT ALL). We haven't been in awhile (for a variety of reasons from busier work schedules to several of his closest friends there moving from the area), but last we were there, there seemed to be a noticeably larger number of straight couples walking around. That in and of itself doesn't bother me, but I'm the first to say that if that influx of straight couples leads to us not being able to safely enjoy simple acts of affection like holding hands, then no they would not be welcome.
