I also lived in NYC, DC, LA and even abroad - and have had homosexual house-mates, classmates and friends, particularly during my younger school years, when one couldn't pick and choose for cheap housing. Some were the nasty types you mentioned, but I know others who were/are kind, decent people. Regardless, ALL seemed to suffer greatly because of their homosexuality (or in conjunction with it). Mental illness, drug/alcohol addition, sexual promiscuity, disease, gay violence and sick brutality, betrayal - some or all of these afflict every homosexual I know. It is very said, and is truly a curse which they suffer under. The push to normalize this for society is something which can only be considered evil.
I had many gay men friends as a youth. But I’ve seen a change in the theatre world that frightens me. They now self-segregate at parties, vilify women openly and bar women from some productions. The new (and horribly failed) “On a Clear Day You Can See Forever,” is a case in point. The young ones - like most Americans - know nothing of culture and yet they are controlling the culture.
