Uh..well.. I'd say no.

Don't be shy, though. I was actually hoping to find people who say they DON'T know any gays because I know they're out there. So please, be a good citizen and vote.

One of my best friends is gay, and I work with a gay man and a lesbian. They're all good people, and you wouldn't be able to tell them from anyone else. And they don't hate me because I'm a christian, contrary to what some would like me to believe.

Well, as a matter of fact I do. Well, not friends - no. I don't currently have much of a social life. But I DO kinda, sorta have a niece and nephew (they are actually my brother's niece and nephew by marriage, but I call them my own, too) who are both gay. Interesting....they're siblings.

But yeah, that's about it.

Yes, of course. Everyone does, whether they know it or not.

Right about now I am wondering if there is a way to block these damn gay threads.

I mean, who cares? Only you homophobes out there! Grrr. Only 14 threads on this on the front page! Egads, people. Get a life!

I have a friend who's gay, as is his brother. Their parents had two kids and both wound up being gay. It does seem unusual, but maybe not.
