Ya...you know it is so...well..funny is the word, I guess.(Even though homophobia is not funny at all.) In Toronto they have the Gay Pride Day parade every summer, and you will find Drag Queens and the Chief of Police holding hands. It's just so cool, and feels so good that some people are very tolerant of diversity these days. We (well...I'm not gay...not that there is anything wrong with that...Jerry...lol!) have come so far, but at the same time there are elements of society that are very homophobic and intolerant. One of my former best friends growing up was bisexual, and he used to try so hard to hide it. He abandoned me as a friend....I think because he wanted to run away from all that I knew. But....anyways.Jay
