One teen is also openly gay here in town,but I think he has a much harder time from what I hear.Kids have a lot less class about what they say sometimes.
I live in San Francisco... nuff said. Our official "gay district" is the Castro, which has just about everything you could need or want. That area is primarily gay males, though, and the lesbian neighborhoods are Bernal Heights and Noe Valley - both beautiful and EXPENSIVE places to live. Wish I could afford to live in any of these districts!
Got enough weirdo's around here don't need no homosexuals trying to get little kids to come play with them. this is a very conservative area and i like it that way.

lol I think it's funny that you think there aren't gay people and gay couples in your area because it's conservative.
boise doesn't have a gay district, all of the gay clubs are actually right downtown amongst the straight bars and restaurants. When gay districts were the norm, boise was growing and not really a destination for gays. Now downtown is booming with more and more highrises and shops, and everything is a blend of everything. Urban outfitters, anthropologie, North Face are all downtown practically next to the busiest club in town... which is happens to be gay. It is directly up the escalators overlooking downtown streets with other gay and straight bars down below, along with outside dining and the best restaurants in town. I don't know if it is because of boise's size, or if it is part of the new integration of everything. But downtown boise is pretty much anything and everything liberal and artsy and fashonable all blended into one area. its really quit nice. I use to live in seattle where there was downtown and then the pioneer square area for all the straight clubs, and showgirls and strip bars.. and then up on capital hill where all the homo's and gay bars lived and dwelled. It was always so night and day. Boise doesn't have that... the night and day is downtown vs. suburbia.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre has 551,000+ residents, yet it is still too socially conservative (and sprawled) to have developed its own "gay district." We just mostly hide in the closet and hook-up randomly with multiple partners for fear of retaliation should someone discover we are in a long-term relationship with a member of the same-sex and ostracize us as a result. I can still recall the "commotion" that was caused a number of years ago when a lesbian couple from Philadelphia was pondering purchasing a home in our subdivision. Their sexual orientation should have been a NON issue! I can't believe Pennsylvania can call itself a "Northeastern state," yet be so similarly aligned to Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, etc. in terms of politics.

You do realize that we gays don't spread AIDS through handshakes or "convert" you straights to the "dark side," right? I can sit Elton John shirtless in a room with your straight sixteen-year-old son, and the odds of him "turning gay" by being near to him are about as good as me finally getting my six-pack abs back while eating junk food every hour! LOL! Believe me, if I could "tempt" a couple of cute straight guys in my town to give me a chance I would be too "busy" courting them to be here on City-Data right now! HA!
P.S. You do realize we're not all pedophiles, right? I'm actually most attracted to guys a couple of years older than I am.

Apparently some people don't realize that, and they also don't seem to realize how many sexual predators are straight... not to mention, pedophilia is a sexual disorder which isn't orientation-related (most of them don't even care what gender the child is). And while we're throwing around stereotypes and gross exaggerations, I'm not comfortable having Catholic churches in my neighborhood - don't want those priests tempting our young boys with wafers, you know?
