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.

"Thats a shame, BA is a beautiful city.."

I know. So is San Francisco. I wonder if Saint Francis knows that there is a city named after him that is a center of debauchery.

[SaltyJoe]

St Francis knows and prays for all of them.

Did you know that the Romans tried to build a temple to Jupiter in Jerusalem? It didn't last. God's holiness and his Saints are eternal.

Didn't know that! I wonder if we'll be getting the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople back some day;-)

[SaltyJoe]

I believe the Romans were actually successful in building their temple, but offending God cost them their Empire.

Homosexual Agenda Ping.

Can't comment, do-it-yourself time.

I noticed one comment:

"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."

We all know where that comment comes from - homo-speak. Drwoning out the opposition by insinuating that anyone opposed to the "gay" agenda being shoved down everyone's throats must be a closeted homosexual him/herself.

Let DirtyHarryY2K and me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

I was at a beautiful beach on Maui years ago, happened to turn my head and gaze, and saw two homosexuals engaged in a sex act not 15 or 20 feet from me.

I felt extremely nauseated. I certainly didn't "watch" them, nor did I want to even have the very short witness that I did.

[gidget7]

I am crushed as well. Is there any limit at all to their in your face defiance?? I wish the entire city's population would simultaneously turn their backs on the pervs!!

[John Lenin]

I know what you mean.

[gidget7]

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



Exactly right, that is hardly insecurity!!! It is, contrary to what homosexuals think, THEY who are insecure, guilt ridden, and self hating!

[John Lenin]

It's all about minority rights.

Gays have had fun with guided tour to Haiti before, until the country got severely infested with AIDS, now they will hit Brazil? Good luck Brazil, if you make money on Gay tourists, you will soon spend it on AIDS treatment.

I love the smell of ozone.

I love the smell of ozone.

Most likely, it'll happen sooner than later.

I noticed one comment:

The button has been pushed. Are we taking bets as to how long they'll last?

[little jeremiah]

I checked his comments, and every one was characterized by arrogant hedonism, with a thin veneer of snobbery slightly covering the anger. Supposedly thinks he's a libertarian. A rank one.

I didn't even bother hitting the button because I knew others would! I don't want the mods to get tired of me.

Ping!

A few months back, I was walking through a park here in Seattle (near the Woodland Park Zoo). While on the trail I saw a man giving another man a Lewinski. Lovely sight to behold...

From George Strait (modified):

Goodbye, farewell, so long, vaya condios.
Good luck, wish you well, take it slow.
Easy come, Troll, easy go.

[John Lenin]

You can't even walk on the beach where I live , all kinds of sex acts going on and the police are absent. All gays gettin it on in cars or in the sand.

[Clemenza]

Let me guess: you live in Santa Monica.
