I know that wasn't directed towards me. I have folks in the gulf... and I never downplayed the gulf I just shoot it down to reality from time to time...

I like NO a lot its one of my favorite cities because of the culture, history, and cusine.

Do I think its on Atlanta level... depends... when it comes to nightlife, cusine yeah

But Atlanta when it comes to everything else no....

Atlanta is a beast right now. Even with a tough economy its still growing like crazy... the culture is great... If anything I feel the culture in Atlanta is downplayed....

New Orleans is on the rise itself ppl keep moving back and the city is building a bunch of new addittions to tha city.... Atlanta has a good economy and shoppin but no soul... New Orleans all the way

LMBAO @ you saying things like "culture" and "unique" in one sentence, but then saying you wouldnt live in Atlanta because of the large number of gay people. Sounds like someone doesnt like things that are different from them and to me that screams "un-cultured" and not being exposed to anything. Even further, if you aren't gay, why are you worried about someone who is? Do we have some deep seeded issues within your own self that you dont feel comfortable with? lol................

Basically your saying "we're cultured and unique in New Orleans, but we dont like you if your not like us"....
That kind of belittles the whole "unique" argument, dont you think?

My question is how can you be Pro-NOLA and Anti-Gay?

Dont ask me my dude...I didnt say it...lol
I grew up in West Midtown, like 7 minutes from the intersection of Piedmont and 10 St. in East Midtown, which is probably one of the more colorful areas in the country if you catch my drift...lol. Grew up around gay people and had two male life partners right next door growing up that were really cool and were quite close with my mom actually, I remember when my first dog died they got me an Afghan Hound for my 8th Bday. Leave it to a gay man to get a 8 year old an Afghan Hound....lol. Only in Atlanta...

I have no problem with gay people, everyone should be able to live life how they see fit, and I have always looked sideways at dudes with all this "no homo" type stuff. Like really bruh??? If you aint gay why are you worried about it??

LOL, for real. Correct me if I'm wrong, but New Orleans has a pretty sizable LGBT community.

Yes, not to mention the oldest operating gay bar in the nation.

I'm going to be in Atlanta this weekend.

I'll be the white girl with the LA plates driving to Piedmont Park blasting the Rebirth Brass Band.
