Jeff Gannon  
How many others are there? These were off the top of my head.  
[/QUOTE]

Well, whoever Gannon’s White House “sponsor” was to get him into press conferences. I’m betting Karl Rove – the guy has always been too soft and pink to be entirely straight.

[QUOTE=elucidator]  
Its not any kind of issue at all, merely a glancing observation, and a slight head scratch. But I have personally know lesbian seperatists, and a number of black seperatists (at the time, it must be noted).

Gets me to wondering if there’s any substantial difference in the way that a “gay” neighborhood comes to exist in comparison to, say, an Irish or Italian neighborhood.

Perhaps just an errant thought.  
[/QUOTE]  
Well, usually we gentrify the neighborhood right off the bat.

[QUOTE=Punoqllads]  
Oh, they’ve got a flag all right, just walk down to the Castro in San Francisco.  
[/QUOTE]

Not a real distinctive one. It’s the same as the “PACE” flag, except without “PACE” on it.

… the avalanche of opening closets careening like juggernauts down the Mount Everest of the hypocritical blackened souls of self-loathing Gay conservatives. Feel free to move at will. 🙂

I have nothing to say on the substantive issues, but I have to tell you, that is one of the most impressively mixed metaphors it has ever been my pleasure to read.
