Hmm...never having lived anyplace where there was a gay ghetto, I can't entirely relate to something like that. I don't like bars or drugs, but I will admit to not having any straight friends...I also don't have any Christian friends or any Republican friends. I tend to insulate myself from all that, for better or worse. I just don't want to have to deal with it.

Certainly not. It just happens to be one that I grew up with and a life that makes me comfortable and happy. When I was younger I never thought that I could reconcile that with being a homo. I didn't think I could reconcile a LOT of traditionally masculine things with that fact. Thus I rejected many things I grew up with and things that I always liked. My mistake. So, I did the gay ghetto trip. Shortly. It never worked for me. It was a set of clothes that never fit. So I reclaimed a great part of my background, and fit it together with my young adult experiences to make the life that feels best to me.
Ah. See, I never liked those things. Much to my father's chagrin. They all thought I was an alien from the time I was born, basically.
