Maybe you don't understand it because you're gay (not saying that's a bad thing). But as a straight guy, I don't exactly want homosexual men checking me out and trying to get too close to me...it's just not very comforting and when it happens often, you get irritated.

Not sure why anyone would buy a house somewhere based on being gay.

Interesting.
As a woman, I don't like it when any man who isn't super gorgeous does that...grosses me out.

Tit for tat, eh?

You're missing the point of what I said, but that's ok.

Actually, I think you're the one missing the point.

You might want to cut your losses at this point and move onto another thread. If you wanna keep digging a hole, however, be my guest.

Right.....I don't see why it's a problem if he (you) don't want to put yourself directly in the middle of a reknown gay neighborhood. It'd be more prejudice, IMO, to "put up with it" in fear of being labeled a "hater" than to just be honest with yourself and say "hey, I'm not gay, so that area isn't necessarily the best for me". Big deal! It doesn't mean he hates gay people!

"gayborhood"

Does everything need an obnoxious nickname?

This makes no sense. What makes you so special to believe that you can be more irritated in that situation as opposed to a gay person in the same situation?
