And just how is all that so different from most other large cities? I don’t particularly like the gays, but I have had to work with them, and have found them by and large to be decent hard working folks. Sure there’s the radical “in your face” crowd and the do go out of their way to create a spectacle, but to suggest that all of San Francisco is a modern-day Gomorrah is really over the top. Tell us all, do you also hate the “ni—ers” in Detroit, or the “beaners” in Los Angeles? Personally, there lifestyle is less important to me than is their politics.

If San Francisco is no different than any other big city, then why are their civic leaders and representatives as radical as it is possible to elect in a free republic? "San Francisco Democrats" are the most radical of the breed.

I never said I hated gays, but to me, homosexual practices are disgusting, and to take pride in such behavior is even more so. And have I ever said anything that is racist or ethnocentric, or are you just trying to "Alinsky" me?

And one last thing: you ought to use the proper form of "there," "their" or "they're."

“I never said I hated gays, but to me, homosexual practices are disgusting, and to take pride in such behavior is even more so. And have I ever said anything that is racist or ethnocentric, or are you just trying to “Alinsky” me?”

And just how many other cities have “gay pride parades?” I don’t like homosexual practices any more than you do, but they are free to do whatever they want to in the privacy of their own places. Homosexuality has been with us from the beginning of time. I will bet you that most San Franciscans are as upset about the gays as you are, but they are also Liberals and are not willing to give up Liberalism to deal with the gays. You did use some slurs to describe homosexuals, so I was just wondering if there are any other groups that you don’t like either. Thanks for the grammar pointers, I’ll try to do better!
