Yeah, it's pretty tough in San Francisco, where there isn't any place for gay people to go. Gimme a break.
Try to find a conservative bar in SF!
There's truth in that message. The stereotype of SF is that it's all gay, it isn't, and confined to a couple neighborhoods out of a couple dozen. And lots of gays have left over the last 20 years. That happened to the black population, went from 16 percent down to 5 percent, and now it's happening to the gays. They're in Seattle, Denver, Austin and other cities, but fewer in SF.
The Tenderloin district used to be all dope addicts and winos with porno theaters, got transformed when asian families moved in. The Mission district used to be latino, and now the techies and Chinese are changing it. I had some business last week with a sandblasting shop in Hunters Point, it used to be an all black area, but I saw lots of Chinese there. The gays have finally left SF and are not a majority by any means.
Plus they're getting beat up in the Mission and SOMA where they used to hang out at bars. Now they're being edged out in their home districts in the Castro and Noe Valley neighborhoods.
