I'd say not. I've known far too many homophobic people. Maybe my experience is just jaded. [/QUOTE]You may simply need to "get out more". Chelsea and the West Village are the hippest areas in NYC precisely because of the gay element. As is Oxford St. and Paddington in Sydney for the same reason. Homosexual "chic" is "hip". Designers, pop stars, movie stars. Since Andy Warhol and Oscar Wilde, mardi gras and fashion trends. The politically correct answer is "I'm bi".
But what happens when it's politically correct to NOT be politically correct? [/QUOTE]Well, as for dating, my taste in men are usually the type that could be mistaken for straight, and are fat. I'm not really into the types of guys that are 25 desperately trying to look 15.
But I wouldn't mind going to a predominantly gay area to mingle. However, it seems that it's mostly only popular in such areas. Everywhere else I go it's easy to encounter groups of homophobic people. And I'm mostly talking about hearing the word Fag tossed around so easily in a spiteful manor. That's one of the major reasons I'm closeted to most people. The only people who know (That I know in person) are friends and my sister.
I'd still like to know if you think Criminal prosecution (One of the benefits listed) is important.
