  2. I think the Gay name street change is fine. After all, who'd want to live on Heterosexual Lane?

  4. One of my high school classmates' (a female) middle and last names were Gay Dick.

  5. Re: Gay Road. Isn't that like buying a house near an airport, then bitching about all the noise after the fact?

  6. my boss lives on Rimmer Avenue; I think it unfortunate you don't have to demonstrate your abilities before you can move in. I wonder if there's an Analingus Avenue somewhere? Cunnilingus Cove? Bukake Blvd.? Felching Farm?

  7. I lived most of my childhood on a street called Pansy Path. Not good for a teenager trying to come to terms with his sexuality!

  8. I live in a medium sized town where the main street in the old downtown (main drag?) is Gay Street. No one's bothered to change it yet and this is in a "red state".

  9. I lived in Peoria most my life. Everyone in the area knows that Pekin is nothing more than a backwards, racist cesspool of people barely fit to be called human.

    Thus, this news item hardly surprises me. In fact, I'm shocked it took this long.

  10. One of the few lodgings in Norwood CO (an isolated redneck town with fewer than 1,000 population) is the Westward Ho Motel. Some call it the Westward Homo tel.

  11. There's a Gay Street in the town where I live in England, nobody seems too bothered with it. In actual fact it is one of the main streets here with famous buildings and stuff, even the Jane Austin museum is on Gay Street! :)

  12. I also grew up in Peoria, across the river from Marquette Heights. And, yeah, the area is about the most intolerant place I've ever visited. Not very suprising, but maybe these residents will understand how homophobia affects everyone, and affects them directly.
