there are gay folks throughout the city

for decades the village was home to new york's bohemian movement which, along with beatniks and hippies, included a gay subculture

the village is home of the stonewall riots and lots of lgbt activism

however, the predominantly gay district in 21st century manhattan is chelsea

why do you ask

so I know what areas to avoid, same reason I dont go to San Fransisco....Actually there are so many reasons not to go to San Fransisco.
Actually I have no plans to go to NY any time soon but some day it would be cool to see a few sites there....

you're a tad homophobic, huh

not secure in your masculinity, sexuality, or something

you should probably see a therapist

i'm a former marine sergeant and a happy heterosexual male in a committed, loving relationship who plans to march in new york's gay pride parade this sunday

why

because gay rights are human rights - plain and simple

i'm not gay but i'll march for gay rights

i'm not black but i'll march for civil rights

i'm not a union member but i'll march with aggrieved workers

i have va healthcare but still i march for universal healthcare

i don't live on the gulf coast anymore but still i protest bp

again, why

simply put, because i'm a human being with the capacity for empathy who believes in fighting for social and economic justice
now please stop turning my every thread into a place for
YOU to air your social and political psychosis

saw buildings haunted by eleanor roosevelt and aaron burr

after the tour, i was walking through the neighborhood and saw philip seymour hoffman

hung out at a comic store then grabbed a bite at a diner before the movie
evil dead II on the big screen with a theater full of horror geeks was awesome
