And, whoever said the Woodlands is middle of the road, is nuts...unless middle of the road means you like ALL of the talk show hosts on FoxNews.

bachanon Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 thanks for the bio, katydidit. i understand you better now. i too, at times, wish for restaurants without tons of families or a quiet hole in the wall where i can visit with a friend or read a book. none of that out here. i plan to check out the new wine bar "cru" at market street. i'm hoping for a more adult environment there.

bachanon Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 we had one HGO performance this summer. we have REAL biker bars in magnolia. i know of one unitarian congregation (in grogan's mill i think). we still have a ways to go with the jazz scene (we did have a spring/summer jazz series at market street on thursday nights). the line up included several well known jazz artists who play in houston regularly. as far as i know there aren't any gay or drag bars here. OH, you mean biker/leather bars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethanra Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Being gay and voting Republican? The party that want's to legislate you out of existence?How's that working out for you, Bud? I network with a lot of people, a lot of them are gay men. Beleive it or not a lot of gay men are republican. Some factors are that they are self employed (nice living), educated, and usualy undertstand reality of life and are not blinded by hate. They form an opinion on many issues based on facts and not dwell on one manipulated area. As far as gay women I have dealt with, most of them have a chip on their shoulder and are blinded liberals except the few proffesionals, lawyers, reps of companies, that I have dealt with. Basicly over all you figure out if some one works hard for a living and doesn't ask for a hand-out or your work your way up to have a succesful life your Republican (not it all cases but most).

The Republican party is not blinded by hate? Proposition 2 is not a hate-filled referendum?BTW, I have met a grand total of TWO gay Republicans in my life...one of them on this board. I wouldn't call that a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where to begin. "blinded by hate"? Prop. 2-the Republican version of compassionate conservatism.However many gay men you know who are republican-well that's nice for you, I guess. But the reality is the Republican platform includes planks that call for the specific EXCLUSION of gays from mainstream life.In my book, no amount of "(nice living)" could ever allow me to subjugate my self respect to an organization which clearly wants me to go into a dark closet, close the door and never come out.Ethanra: I suggest you go back, review your post and take note of your blind alliegence to a party-that incidentally in today's WSJ poll shows the President with a whopping 2% support amoung blacks-is nothing but exclusive, at the expense of all else.

bachanon Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 come on people. maybe we should have a thread for gay political issues. or, maybe keep the arguments about those mean republicans and dastardly liberals to the way off section. now, before i make a statement that continues the back-and-forth on prop 2 or log cabin republicans, i'll find the thread someone started on prop 2 and make my opinion known there.
